The Witchery

Totally extraordinary place to stay. Luxury on another level. The rooms were so exquisite and the bathroom was just wow! All the staff were incredible. Cannot fault the place

Nothing other than I now have to save up to try another of the rooms.

I was at the witchery in 2024 lovely this year January 2026 it was very different the fillet steak £28 was just ok nothing special nothing but a potato rosti with it nothing else carrots just ok cauliflower just ok l was £100 no starters or sweet no drinks only a soft drink was so disappointing as it was my birthday a waste of money much better places I’ve never complained but this was just a complete rip off

My wife and myself stayed in the sempill room..we had save for this night and knew it was going to be a one off experience .. It was all worth it. From the communication via email to the moment we checked out..we felt like.celebrities What a wonderfully cleverly designed place to stay... everything about it from the decor to the music transports you back to another time.. so you forget exactly where or when you are and can completely relax.. The extras left for us make the experience even more magical and the breakfast was 5 star. There is nothing more I would add...it was perfection

There is a lot I love about the Witchery: the staff, the ambience and the sense of occasion. I've eaten here a few times and always for a special occasion. We ate here again in December but I wanted to say that the food is far too expensive for what you sometimes get. The seafood cocktail at £26 for a starter, for three tiny bits of seafood is robbery. As someone who works in catering, I know there is no way to justify such an offering for this price. I expected it to be a decent servicing, but unfortunately we had to fill up on the baked (frozen not fresh) rolls which came with the starter. Bread should always be baked at such an establishment. Everything else was amazing thank you but it leaves a sour taste in your mouth when you pay over the odds for below average. And nothing at the Witchery should be below average.

From the minute we checked in the experience at The Witchery was of the highest standard. Breakfast with Blair as our table server was a perfect example of someone that is happy and proud to be where they are, nothing was too much trouble, he took the time to chat and was a treat to engage with, what an asset! The rooms were above expectations with so many extras that were fitting to the environment, we especially loved the champagne ☺️ We cannot recommend this hotel, the staff, the restaurant or The Witchery experience enough, thank you

I had read so much about the Resturant, booked well in advance. Overpriced for very mediocre food - nothing that special that you could not easily create at home. I had the fish which was dry and lacking in a sauce - very little flavour or taste. I wanted to go as I had heard so much about it - bit of a let down. very small inside and interior is not as amazing as the pictures make out. Service was very good from the staff Please note that even a basic breadroll that could have been from Sainsbury's is charged. Not worth it in the end was not very special or notable -there are better Resturants. better to look elsewhere for the same cost could have had an amazing meal at one of the grand hotels.

Dined for lunch with wife and 6-month old daughter as final stop on trip on Scotland. Staff explicitly snooty around young child. Made up feel unwelcome. Offered no help carrying pram down steep steps. Sat us in very inconvenient area of restaurant. No baby toilet facilities. Just absolutely awful service overall despite us willing to pay £££ for a lunch for a young family. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

It’s unique and close to the castle. We stayed in the Armory Suite. Breakfast delivered to your room is great and the staff are amazing. BUT. Its value is over rated - and it’s over priced. For what they charge, you would expect some luxuries. This was our second stay in 10 years, and for us, the value wasn’t there after the initial stay. First, it hardly had been updated in those 10 years. The bathroom is terrible - terrible pressure, a shower over a tall tub, with fabric shower curtains that try to cling to your body while you shower. One wall is a mirror - in the shower. There are no shelves or places to put your toiletries in the shower. The drain is slow, so after a cold day of walking around, you can take a long hot shower, that barely soaks you and starts to fill the tub around you. The toilet seat is wooden and loud when you close the lid. The bedroom door creaks like mad, so if your partner is asleep and you need the toilet - you will likely wake them up. And the noise!! It is SO noisy. We were woken up at 7 am by the people in the room above us. Sounded like they were moving furniture and pacing the hallways for 2 straight hours. You can also hear people out on the street. In all, we won’t be back. We were very happy with our first stay as it was something new and fun. We are older now and will pay for comfort over esthetic any day. At the Witchery you get esthetic only.

The themed rooms were amazing to its finest detail. The food was also exemptional.

Nothing.
