We stayed here as a surprise for my husband's 40th birthday and it was just wonderful. Worth every penny, and no downsides at all. We were in the armoury suite and loved the 4 poster bed, the tv that comes out of the ottoman and all the little extras. Many thanks to the staff for this amazing experiance, can't wait for the next special occasion to go celebrate here again.

A trip to Edinburgh would not be complete without a trip to the Witchery! The Witchery truly delivered, and the shining star, and complete credit to the establishment is the magnificent Roxy! If you miss the pleasure of meeting Roxy, you simply must go back! The room (Guard Room) was everything we expected, and then some...I'm sure you've read about the Pol Roger, decadent cookies, truffles, and little gold box of what I think was traditional tablet wrapped with a lovely tartan ribbon on the bed. The thoughtfulness put into the Witchery is indescribable. The location simply can't be beat, and you must experience the Witchery at least once in your lifetime! The only disappointment was the 3:00 a.m. ghost that did not make his presence known to us. Roxy, I wish I was your sister from Sligo, she is truly one lucky girl.... Thanks for everything!

We were looking for a romantic, different setting for an anniversary weekend.... and found it in the Witchery.
We stayed in the Guardsroom and to say it was overwhelming is/was an understatement. From the entrance to the bedroom this is one experience that you don't want to miss. The room was fantastic and I think the word k theatrical would do it justice. From the kitchen to the bathroom and to the room that you are served your breakfast in - unbelievable !!! Value for money, maybe not but value for experience - you could probably not beat it. Like previous comments I found the Witchery resturant expensive and could not say I got value for money. Having said that there are plenty of resturants nearby at a fraction of the price with as good a selection so you would be doing yourself an injustice not to have a look around (Du Pres and the wee windaes both on the Royal mile spring to mind). This is not a place for families although there is plenty of room for more than 2 !!!! But more of an experience and as such if that is what you are expecting you will not be disappointed.

I could write a book on how fab this place is but I havent got the time!! We stayed in The Armoury Suite and it really is pure luxury, total decadence, and rollling in romance!!!

Champagne and cookies wawited us when we arrived and what can I say about Roxy, he's a complete star! I have to say he added a lot to the total package, and loved chatting with him.

He even supplied bandages and pain killers to me as I had a fall on the first night while out for dinner.

If there is one place to stay for romance and fabulousity you have to stay here, its expensive but very very worth it!

Planning our return trip as i type!
