Dalhousie Castle Hotel

“Dalhousie Castle”, a fascinating 13th century fortress set within acres of wooded parkland on the picturesque banks of the river Esk, is one of the finest luxury castle hotels in Scotland, just half an hour from Edinburgh city centre.
The lovely countryside of Midlothian and the Scottish Borders, a position of great strategic importance, was also one of the most fiercely contested, and so “Dalhousie Castle”, which has very much kept its original character, was witness to more than its fair share of history.

Yet the once so warlike fortress, now prides itself on the warmness of the welcome it extends to visitors.
What better setting could there be to enjoy Falconry, the sport of kings, with the Castle as a back drop, dine in the ancient barrel vaulted dungeon on their exceptional cuisine, have a drink from the ‘secret bar’ next to the open fire, or relax in the stunning Aqueous Spa - you will always feel as welcome as the ‘Laird’.

Within a rich tapestry of arts and culture the Castle offers beautifully appointed bedrooms, among them a choice of historically themed rooms, partly with sumptuous four poster beds. Decorated in Scottish design fabrics such as tweed and twill, the rooms come with period furniture, rugs and carpets creating a warm, luxurious and deeply relaxing feel. A 100 year old Lodge in the grounds provides an additional 7 bedrooms for those who want added seclusion in a truly welcoming country house atmosphere.

Dalhousie is also an ideal venue for a traditional Scottish banquet, wedding, conference or meeting. Feast on fresh salmon, venison, grouse or prime beef in the unique atmosphere of the armour adorned Dungeons, or in The Orangery, with sweeping views over the river, a more informal environment and a lighter menu.

And for the ultimate in relaxation, Scotland’s very first hydro spa combines spa treatments with top-notch hydro facilities, from the multi-massage jet pool to the Rasul mud chamber, from the Turkish style steam bath to the Tropical Rain&Cold Fog Shower which gently refreshes your senses and invigorates your body.
