Wanted to surprise partner on a BIG birthday and, as we live in Edinburgh, we were aware of these apartments but never stayed. I had looked at Trip A and it seemed that the most popular was Old Rectory so, fingers crossed, booked it for last Wednesday night. When we arrived, the guy (lovely Roxy) opens the door and you... more

My husband and I had a fabulous weekend at The Witchery in Fen 09. We spent a night in The Vestry Suite and had dinner in The Witchery restaurant. What a place.. I can't think of nowhere better for utterly foccusing on each other and on romance. The location, right next to the Castle, is so atmospheric. Our suite was... more

Yes, it really is!. We love this place.We have been fortunate enough to stay here a few times. Not cheap... £295 may not be a lot for some people but it is for us...however I would go without eating to make our annual trip here, it's sooo worth it. The place to be to totally concentrate on your loved one.... more

Wow! Absolutely and unarguably magical! Simply the best 12 hours spent anywhere! Married at The Hub over the road and then walked across the cobbled Royal Mile after midnight to our suite which was down Jollie's Close and up the winding turn-pike staircase. A huge suite with no less than five rooms plus a beautiful private corridor. A wonderful entrance... more

My husband and I are preparing to stay in The Witchery for the 4th year running, this Feb. Our plan is to stay at all the suites, and I am still as excited visiting for the 4th time as I was when we stayed for the first time. Our first suite was the Vestry suite, which we now realise is... more

My Fiance and myself had the pleasure of staying in The Old Rectory Suite here very recently, and I wanted to join Trip Advisor to share the lovely experience we had here, as I simply don't think it can be praised high enough! We arrived slightly ahead of the check-in time of 3pm. We are quite young (24 and 21)... more

We spent two nights at the Witchery in December. We stayed in two different rooms (The Armoury and The Inner Sanctum). Firstly I'd like to say that all the reviews saying how wonderful this place is are correct these are fabulous amazing rooms and they are cleaned to perfection. The Armoury Room - Across the road from the Witchery is... more

My wife and I returned to The Witchery for our first wedding anniversary inbetween christmas and new year. Having married in the castle last year we stayed in the Guard Room Suite for 2 nights. Our aim is to stay in all of the rooms so this year we stayed in the Armoury. The room, as expected, was amazing. The... more

We have just returned from a one night stay in the Armoury Suite for our five year anniversary. After a slightly chaotic check-in experience we were shown to our suite. ( check-in desk is absolutely tiny and at top of the restaurant stairs. We were hustled up and down the stairs as people tried to enter and leave the restaurant!)... more
