“Really impressive venue and want to go back”

Reviewed 3 June 2013

We recently attended a funeral here and although not under the best circumstances we were blown away with how amazing this venue is. On arrival to the castle you think you are never going to arrive as the drive is very long but then when you see it the scenery around is breathtaking. On arrival to the castle is a... More

“Mothers Day to remember”

Reviewed 25 March 2013

Outside impressions of the refurb are favourable but are nothing compared to the wow factor of the fantastic entrance hall and the decor of the room where we had tea was clean and not too fussy which I loved. The occasion was enhanced... More

“One to remember”

Reviewed 18 March 2013

My wife and i stayed here last weekend. The entrance at Melville Castle is lovely with the long winding road through the estate gardens. Upon arrival, the grand entrance of the castle with the lovely flames outside was a lovely touch. The castle has just been refurbished and it looks wonderful. The interior is authentic and period. We particularly enjoyed... More

“Mothers Day Treat”

Reviewed 10 March 2013 via mobile

We were given a pre-paid lunch at the Melville Castle for Mothers Day. This venue is used mainly for private functions or corporate events and team building. However they decided to open for Mothers Day lunch or high tea. The menu had 3 options for both starter, main and dessert which would suit almost everyone. My Mother and myself chose... More
