About Melville Castle
Melville Castle suits couples planning a wedding, guests after a countryside escape close to a city, and anyone who fancies sleeping somewhere with a bit of history rather than a standard hotel room. Set on Gilmerton Road in Lasswade, Midlothian, it offers 32 rooms within a genuine castle building, surrounded by views over the surrounding countryside, with Edinburgh within easy reach for a day out.
The hotel runs a restaurant and bar on site, along with a snack bar and breakfast service, so there's no need to head out for meals unless you want to. A garden gives space to sit outside, free WiFi covers the property, and a lift makes upper floors accessible. Childcare is available for families who want an evening to themselves, and free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward.
As a dedicated wedding venue, Melville Castle regularly hosts celebrations, so it's worth checking dates if you're after a quiet stay rather than a function weekend. Its location in Lasswade puts the Midlothian countryside on the doorstep while keeping Edinburgh's attractions within easy travelling distance.
Guests mention this castle hotel offers spacious, spotless, and well-maintained rooms, with delicious food and a wide variety of breakfast options. They also highlight the beautiful grounds with walking trails, and the convenient location for visiting Edinburgh.
