The Witchery

Perched at the gates of Edinburgh Castle, The Witchery is a theatrical immersion into gothic grandeur. Housed within a collection of 16th-century buildings, this boutique bolthole is unapologetically decadent—velvet-draped, candlelit, and steeped in centuries of intrigue. Each of its nine suites is a love letter to maximalism, with four-poster beds, roll-top baths, and secret bookcases that whisper of hidden histories. Dining here is pure theatre. In the Original Dining Room, antique oak panelling and red leather booths set the stage for indulgent classics like Tournedos Rossini and Glenfeshie Estate red deer. The Secret Garden, with its painted ceiling inspired by Rossend Castle and floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto a private terrace, feels like a portal to another realm. Whether you’re sipping Champagne under candlelight or savouring a shellfish bisque, every moment at The Witchery is designed to enchant .
