This hotel has a truly spectacular setting inside Scotland's oldest inhabited castle. Dalhousie is surrounded by open meadows and sprawling woodland, only eight miles from Edinburgh. A luxurious transformation turned the 13th-century fortress into a romantic hideaway with cosy bedrooms and lashings of period charm.
Wander the historic corridors and discover secret passageways and antique treasures or visit the state-of-the-art Hydrotherapy spa to be pampered. Outside, the hotel's award-winning falconry is home to a whole host of majestic birds. The real highlight is dining in the dramatic barrel-vaulted Dungeon Restaurant surrounded by suits of armour.
Brimming with over 700 years of history, Dalhousie Castle is the kind of place that could have been plucked from the pages of a fairy-tale. But make no mistake, this ancient castle with its complex arrangement of turrets and towers is very much the real McCoy. Once the seat of the Ramsay Clan, the castle boasts an illustrious guest list that includes King Edward I, Sir Walter Scott, Oliver Cromwell and Queen Victoria. Today the castle's long tradition of hospitality continues and you can still be assured a royal welcome and the highest standards of food and service.
