Melville Castle Hotel

Melville Castle, a Grade II-listed property built in 1786, sits on 54 acres of grounds including woodland and parkland just outside Edinburgh. A mile-long driveway leads to the main building. The estate accommodates celebrations from two-person elopements through to 200 guests. Thirty-three bedrooms and suites allow overnight accommodation for travelling guests. Ceremonies can take place outdoors on the south-facing lawn or indoors within the state rooms or grand ballroom, each space accommodating up to 150. A marquee available for receptions includes bar facilities, chandeliers and fairy lights. The castle maintains an in-house kitchen where chefs prepare seasonal menus with wine pairings. A library bar allows guests to drink single malts between events. The Scottish Borders location and substantial grounds suit couples wanting space and seclusion for multi-day celebrations or those travelling from further afield. The property's age and architectural heritage provide historical context, while the functional kitchen and bar facilities ensure self-sufficient catering throughout your event.
