From all the castles in Scotland you can’t beat Dalhousie’s location – just 15 minutes drive from the center of Edinburgh and wild nature all over around. You have plenty of stuff to see in the neighborhoods if you travel by car, enjoy the life of Scotland’s capital and experience the loneliness of countryside in the castle. Although it is... more

Having booked our wedding at Dalhousie castle and then read several negative reviews, I was a somewhat concerned bride when I arrived at Dalhousie for my wedding weekend. I have to say that my worries were for nothing and the service we receieved was excellent. Everything was done to a high standard and my husband and I felt totally relaxed... more

We were married at Dalhousie Castle in June of this year. For what was supposed to be (and mainly WAS) our fairy tale wedding, it was not without some serious stress. The supposed wedding coordinator was a joke... she didn't handle a thing correctly, and although the rest of the staff supposedly were cross-trained on each event, (since the coordinator... more

I surprised my partner for their birthday with a one night stay in Dalhousie Castle and we loved every minute of it. On arrival the Receptionist was very friendly and professional and the gentleman who carried our luggage to our room was just as nice. Our room was gorgeous, spacious, very clean, had a lovely view and had a very... more

I am planning my wedding for the summer of 2009- as I am originally from Scotland, I chose the country of my birth as the place where I would like to marry the man of my dreams. This will NOT be in Dalhousie! I was originally attracted by the outside view- it looked spectacular. As we have guests who will... more

We booked direct with the hotel by phone. There are a number of unique rooms and the the staff were not particularly helpful in helping u choose a room over the phone. We chose the Robert the bruce room in the end. the room itself was pretty impressive. an amazing bed with an true grandeur feeling about it. It is... more

I was looking for a location in which we could celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, after checking out 5 or 6 properties I came across Dalhousie Castle. It is a beautiful old building set in the heart of the Midlothian countryside near to attractions such as Roslyn Chapel (of DaVinci Code fame) - which costs £7 per adult to visit.... more

We thought it might be fun to spend a night at a restored castle while in the UK, so after some research, we settled on Dalhousie Castle in Bonnyrigg, near Edinburgh. And I warn thee - STAY AWAY! Although the outside of the castle is quite majestic, the inside lobby looks like a cheap small-scale attempt at Disneyworld, and the... more

My (now husband) and I visited Edinburgh for only one night, and we wanted to stay somewhere spectacular to mark our visit. We went in March, and arrived the same day as a huge snowstorm. Instead of proposing at Edinburgh Castle, which was closed due to the storm, my husband proposed to me in the Dalhousie Castle Chapel, which probably... more
