Barony Castle Hotel

Dated and worn, the room was tiny and no aircon if you stay when there is a wedding bring earplugs. Food was awful and the management really not helpful don't think they ever heard of customer service 1 really nice waitress though and the bed was comfortable

We got married at Barony Castle on 14 April. Our wedding day was amazing, everything we hoped it would be and more! Despite our original wedding co-ordinator leaving a few weeks before the wedding, Hannah, our new co-ordinator was on hand straight away. She had thoroughly read our file and arranged to meet us to ease any concerns we may have had. She was always happy to answer questions by email/phone or meet us if required. Hannah and the rest of the team made sure our day went smoothly. Our room, the Eddleston suite, which I got ready in is beautiful. It is lovely and bright for doing hair and make up and was nice to stay in. The Elibank room was set up perfectly for our ceremony. It was absolutely beautiful. Our meal was delicious and guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food. (including those with dietary requirements). The service was quick and efficient and the food piping hot. We had been for a tasting 6 months prior to the day where Jeanette talked us through each chosen dish and the wines that would be served. Our evening reception was held in the Meldons room. We had an LED dance floor as part of our wedding package and it looked fantastic. We had about 60 guests and the room was beautifully decorated with the tables laid out well. We supplied our own DJ, Marvellous Disco (also recommended) and the dance floor was never empty! For our buffet we had stovies and bacon rolls which were very good. Service at the bar was friendly and efficient with no long waits. There were security guards hired privately by Barony Castle as they do for all functions. The two gents were very pleasant, they didn't 'guard' our reception and were out of sight. It did not have any impact on our overall enjoyment. A fresh, hot and delicious breakfast was brought to our room the next morning. In summary we would highly recommend the Barony Castle Hotel for a wedding and thank all the staff that were involved. We're now looking forward to our return for our 1st anniversary stay.

I've been here twice now for lunch. Both times to view the polish map of Scotland with family/friends. Lunch was lovely and really good value for money. Nice friendly staff. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Hotel is beautiful inside, although I could not say what the rooms are like as I have never stayed, but I would certainly eat here again

Stayed for on night on June 15. For the price, room was small and pretty shabby - chipped paint on radiators and window ledges, furniture worn and tired. Room very small. Wedding on that night, so dinner service was VERY slow and, when food came, was tepid. For 2 courses, dinner took 2hours + from point of ordering, In fairness, I must add, also delicious. Breakfast was superb. Staff were lovely, and despite the bed being a bit past it, we slept well enough. Grounds are beautiful. It looks to me like this was once a grand place, but in need of TLC. For sure, positive dimensions, but room itself was well below what I'd expect for £190.

Stopped here to visit Polish Map of Scotland.......amazing! Decided to have lunch......well......Absolutely delicious! 2 courses, beautifully presented and excellent service. £15.95 for 2 courses or £19.95 for 3 courses. Fantastic value. I would highly recommend.......wish I lived nearer!

Staff were lovely, very attentive. Room was clean & comfortable. Bathroom could do with an upgrade but otherwise very nice. Only complaint is the pub food was not worth the price we paid. Chicken on the nachos was dry and the pizza had what felt like a whole block of cheese on it. Cocktails were great, service was quick.
