For a 500+ year old royal residence, Carberry Tower Mansion is incredibly well maintained, presented and furnished. The room was super clean and well appointed, felt very homey and comfortable. The grounds and gardens are amazing. This was hands-down the best overnight stay experience I've had in my entire life, and will be hard to beat.

Cris

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property looked nice both outside and in the common areas, but overall, my experience was underwhelming. The beer-battered fish and chips were disappointing — undercooked and very bland. My room had a strong sewage smell, so I had to keep the door shut to prevent it from spreading. It was also quite hot inside, and the only way to cool it down was by opening the window — which isn’t ideal if you’re trying to avoid mosquitoes. A new fresh coat of paint would help. If you’re planning to visit Edinburgh, be aware that taking a taxi into the city will cost between £25–£30 each way. The online reviews made this place sound much better than it actually is. In the end, it was just an average hotel.

Carberry is an excellent choice for a stay near Edinburgh. I wanted the castle experience and this home has so much history, it exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was delicious with wonderful options, and the staff were both friendly and helpful. Our room was spotless and very comfortable, everything we needed and larger than I expected for a standard room. Definitely staying again!

Upon entering the gates to this beautiful estate, I was greeted with a lobby perfect for an estate. The decorations were stunning and the receptionist was so kind and answered all my questions. She even offered to make us a reservation at the estates restaurant (which was amazing by the way). The room its self was so clean and pleasant. Adventuring around the estate inside and outside was like stepping into a fairy tale. I enjoyed every second of my stay.
