Is there a more memorable way of visiting Scotland than by staying in a luxury Scottish castle hotel? Recently awarded with the "Castle Hotel of the Year" Award 2009 at the Scottish Hotel of the Year Awards, we invite you to sample true Scottish Hospitality at it's best. Dalhousie Castle - a fascinating 13th century fortress set within acres of wooded parkland on the picturesque banks of the river Esk. From the moment you arrive, a warm Scottish welcome awaits. Whether relaxing in the fabulous Aqueous Spa, enjoying one of the library’s extensive collection of books and a drink from the ‘secret bar’ next to the open fire, dining in the ancient barrel vaulted dungeon on our exceptional cuisine or relaxing in your unique castle bedroom, you will always feel as welcome as the ‘Laird’. Dalhousie Castle luxury hotel has retained much of its original character, with features such as Falconry in the castle grounds, hydrotherapy spa with beauty treatments, luxury characterful bedrooms and a formal fine dining restaurant, boasting 2 AA Rosettes. Yet, we are just 7 miles from Edinburgh City Centre, 14 miles from Edinburgh International Airport and 5 miles from Rosslyn Chapel, made famous by the recent Da Vinci Code Film.
