We booked the Garden Suite for two nights and barely wanted to leave. The four-course dinner on our first evening was the highlight, especially the venison, and the staff remembered our names by breakfast.

My husband and I stopped by after a wedding nearby and ended up staying the whole weekend. We spent an hour in the gaming lounge after dinner, just for the atmosphere, and it felt like something out of another century.

The manor itself is worth the visit before you even get to the food. Original wood panelling, a proper fireplace in the lounge, and a dining room that doesn't feel staged like a lot of restored places do.
Carlos Ferreira Small business owner from Glasgow
Booked a room for one night on a whim and the front desk sorted a dinner reservation for us within minutes. The lamb was well cooked and the pacing of courses was unhurried, exactly what we needed after a long drive.

Three of us stayed over for a friend's birthday and split time between the restaurant and the table games lounge. The blackjack table was busy but never felt crowded, and the dealer was patient explaining the rules to a first-timer among us.

What stood out was how quiet the grounds are at night despite being so close to Edinburgh. We had breakfast on the terrace both mornings and the porridge with whisky-soaked fruit is something I still think about.
