Melville Castle, Scotland

• Bursting with character: Commanding attention within 50 acres of beautiful woodland, Melville Castle is an 18th-century estate hotel just a 20-minute drive from the centre of Edinburgh. Perched on the outskirts of the city, Melville – Edinburgh's only castle hotel – offers both a scenic setting and an ideal location close to the culture and buzz of the capital.
  
  
• Best of both worlds: Not only will you be able to get some quality R&R in a tranquil location, you'll also be within easy reach of designer shopping, gourmet dining and one of Europe's liveliest pub scenes. Character also meets comfort here; you'll find plenty of original features at this Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence winner, as well as luxurious guestrooms and gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape.
  
  
• Thistle do nicely: Beyond the stylish décor and traditional touches, you'll find warm, welcoming hospitality. Start your day like a true Scot, with a full Scottish breakfast complete with tattie scones, haggis and locally sourced sausages. Then, why not treat yourself to a beautifully presented afternoon tea for a real quintessential touch. How's that for an authentic stay?
