The Witchery by the Castle

愛丁堡必住的酒店！房間絕美，拍照特別出片！有大量古董感的絲絨裝飾，但很乾凈。 房間在前台對面的樓裏，去房間衹能通過樓梯，不過入住時工作人員幫忙把行李送到了房間，還送了歡迎巧克力。 早餐我們選擇了在房間裏吃，種類比較簡單，水果不甜也不是特別新鮮，可能在餐廳吃比較好。 總之還是非常滿意的，價格較高但物有所值！推薦！

Immersive historic luxury restaurant. Excellent food, candlelight dining, and superb service. Make sure to book your table in the "old section" if possible for the ultimate unique experience. The garden area is also very interesting and inviting, as well.

Location unbelievable, especially during Fringe and Tattoo. Highly recommend booking early for an August stay so you can also experience street performers, comedy and Fringe shows as well as the Royal Military Tattoo. The Witchery made it oh so special! First, our room, the Old Rectory, is stunning. I can only imagine they all are. The spiral steps up to half of the suites is part of the experience, but don’ t let that stop you from getting a room across the street if none on the turret are available. The Whiskey Experience is right next door, the entrance to the castle a half block one way and The Real Mary’s Close tour a block the other way. Pubs are all around but best of all, the punctual 11:00pm Tattoo parade goes right by your door. We went out at 10:55 and walked ten feet to stand behind a yellow barricade so we could watch it go by; as amazing as the show itself that we experienced the next night complete with the castle dinner. Just utterly rousing watching hundreds of pipes, drums, brass and dancers go by, and then sweep right back into our room to enjoy the ambiance and luxury. We had both the breakfast in the restaurant and breakfast in our room and I preferred the service of the restaurant plus the hot food items. We were given a full bottle of chilled champagne and bottled waters nightly plus cookies, coffee and tea always available in the room. There was a table where you could get take-away and enjoy the setting if you want, because really, the room is an excursion itself. Getting food anywhere after 9:00 at night is tricky so plan accordingly, especially if you are still on another time zone. We did not eat at the restaurant because we experienced the front room for breakfast. Truly, I don’t think I could justify more than two nights at the Witchery financially but one night wouldn’t have been enough to fully appreciate the location. It’s a magical experience I hope to replicate some day, especially in August.
