The Witchery by the Castle

愛丁堡必住的酒店！房間絕美，拍照特別出片！有大量古董感的絲絨裝飾，但很乾凈。 房間在前台對面的樓裏，去房間衹能通過樓梯，不過入住時工作人員幫忙把行李送到了房間，還送了歡迎巧克力。 早餐我們選擇了在房間裏吃，種類比較簡單，水果不甜也不是特別新鮮，可能在餐廳吃比較好。 總之還是非常滿意的，價格較高但物有所值！推薦！

Location unbelievable, especially during Fringe and Tattoo. Highly recommend booking early for an August stay so you can also experience street performers, comedy and Fringe shows as well as the Royal Military Tattoo. The Witchery made it oh so special! First, our room, the Old Rectory, is stunning. I can only imagine they all are. The spiral steps up to half of the suites is part of the experience, but don’ t let that stop you from getting a room across the street if none on the turret are available. The Whiskey Experience is right next door, the entrance to the castle a half block one way and The Real Mary’s Close tour a block the other way. Pubs are all around but best of all, the punctual 11:00pm Tattoo parade goes right by your door. We went out at 10:55 and walked ten feet to stand behind a yellow barricade so we could watch it go by; as amazing as the show itself that we experienced the next night complete with the castle dinner. Just utterly rousing watching hundreds of pipes, drums, brass and dancers go by, and then sweep right back into our room to enjoy the ambiance and luxury. We had both the breakfast in the restaurant and breakfast in our room and I preferred the service of the restaurant plus the hot food items. We were given a full bottle of chilled champagne and bottled waters nightly plus cookies, coffee and tea always available in the room. There was a table where you could get take-away and enjoy the setting if you want, because really, the room is an excursion itself. Getting food anywhere after 9:00 at night is tricky so plan accordingly, especially if you are still on another time zone. We did not eat at the restaurant because we experienced the front room for breakfast. Truly, I don’t think I could justify more than two nights at the Witchery financially but one night wouldn’t have been enough to fully appreciate the location. It’s a magical experience I hope to replicate some day, especially in August.

We had a table for two at «the original dining room». Fantastic atmosphere with stunning wall & roof art, and very charming and service minded staff. The food and wine was all in the top part of the scale. Food and wine paring from the house sommelier. We tried the beef-tartar, hand-dived scallops, red deer, 30 day dry-aged scotsh beef and two deserts. This is a night we absolutley won’t forget. A bit pricey but for special nights definitely worth it.

The Witchery is decadent and classy and I don’t believe you will find anything like it. The decor is beautiful and the dining rooms are moody and dark, lit only by candlelight which creates a wonderfully romantic atmosphere. The food is sublime. We had the lamb wellington and it was nothing like I have ever tasted. The staff are attentive and friendly. We were there for our honeymoon and didn’t experience any of the “snootiness” mentioned in the other reviews. Cameron was wonderful. Chatted with us and congratulated us on our marriage. I would highly recommend The Witchery! We will be back!

Atmospheric and historic fine dining restaurant by Edinburgh Castle. Superb food and wine, exemplary service, friendly and helpful staff. Ancient wooden panneled rooms adding to the character and experience. Would definitely visit again.

Another wonderful experience at the Witchery, Edinburgh. The service was attentive, friendly & professional, but never intrusive. The starters of Partridge Schnitzel & Crab Benedict were excellent and full of flavour. The Red Deer, again, was cooked to perfection. Our only minor gripe was that the Hispi Cabbage formed a large part of this dish - at the expense of the Deer & Pomme Dauphine. A great dining experience, and we look forward to our next visit.

We did not stay at The Witchery, but we did have dinner in the older, gothic-style dining room. The service was excellent, the drinks were wonderful, and the food was fantastic. It's a very romantic place for a lovely dinner. Highly recommended.

A brilliant destination experience not to be missed while in Edinburgh. Historical thematic rooms. Great restaurant food service and hotel staff. Quaint generous breakfast basket delivered to room or choose breakfast in restaurant A bit pricy so be prepared.

This is a"must visit" experience. Make sure you book your table in the original restaurant. The food was amazing, the oysters were sublime. Seafood from the cold water of Scotland is sweet and the steak was tender and very flavorful. The service was terrific.
