what could be better than a two night stay in a 50,000 sq. ft century-old manor house. This place was fantastic. Libraries, music rooms, sitting rooms and a great bar for signature cocktails. The grounds were well maintained, the food was good and the people in charge were very helpful, particularly Lynn, who answered all of my questions. It was the perfect end to a perfect vacation in Scotland. My daughters fell in love with this place.

This is a phenomenal property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back in the future. The property / Suite was amazing and spacious. The grounds are well kept. The breakfast was great, and the staff were super friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend this as it was an overall excellent experience.

We were so excited to visit Carberry. Then we ended up in hospital for a medical emergency. After leaving hospital we looked forward to a restful stay at the Carberry, afternnon tea, exploring the library and relaxing in the music room. We hadn't eaten all day but the bar kitchen had closed early. The staff were so helpful trying to grt us takeout but the wait was long so we went to bed. When we checkef in, I asked to reserve tea for the next day and was told no, there was an all day princess event for 120 little girls qnd boys plus families.l This was the first time we had heard of this event. The next say the music room, library common areas were closed to guests during this event. The bar (no Wifi) and restaurants were open at set hours. My husband ended up staying in our room. I watched the woman at reception take bar orders, I sat in a small area near the garden trying to make arrqngements to return home due to his illness. I did communicate our concerns and was told it they often have events and we could have gone to the bar or outside to the grounds (it was too cold to sit outside.) I hope by sharing this feedback that Carberry will let guests know in advance if there are events that will restrict amemities and services and offer discounted rates during these times. Thank you.

A very pleasant stay. Thd breakfast was a little disappointing... morning 1- no haggis for the Scottish breakfast, and both mornings the sausages were of poor quality... looked like cheap supermarket rather than quality butchers.

Carberry has one of the most beautiful surrounding gardens and forest imaginable. Nestled around the castle makes every angle awe-inspiring. I will say though that the bedrooms need some work. The bed was not very comfortable being small and stiff, and there was not nearly enough blankets provided. IF they changed the beds out for more comfortable ones, added more blankets and made the windows more easy to view the back courtyard, then this would be an all star hotel.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our Carberry experience- it was the highlight of our UK trip. It is a magical place. The workers from the groundskeeper, bartender, tea room experience, restaurant workers, were amazing. Can’t wait to return again!

The outside of the property is beautiful. The inside left much to be desired. It has so much potential but needs some serious renovating. Service needs to be improved dramatically. Especially in the dining area. It took 35 min just to have our order taken… after we went and found someone to ask if they could please take our order. Food ended up being good after we finally received it. Overall, probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Majestic manor in a beautiful countryside setting. Easy accessibility to Edinburgh and surrounding towns. Very comfortable bed and onsite amenities. Small washroom sink and temperamental shower dials made for challenges to reach optimal comfort while washing. Site has incredible ambiance while dining/breakfast offerings were always satisfying.

Castle stay
Carberry Manor House is a castle built in the 15th century. It is really beautiful. We enjoyed our self guided tour of the public rooms (library, music room, parlor, etc). It has been expertly updated for modern use while keeping original features like stone work, fire places and stained glass. There are lovely antiques scattered throughout the public rooms. And the gardens are stunning. We were there in summer. Our room was on the top floor, and it was really over warm. It was an executive room, but it was tiny and had sloping garrett ceiling that we kept bumping our heads on. The twin beds were not regular size twins - they were too narrow to even turn over. And the mattresses were hard and uncomfortable. So I doubt we’d stay there again, even though it was a fun experience staying in a castle. The buffet breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of selections to make a full Scottish breakfast. And the dining staff was attentive and quick to bring whatever else we needed.
