It is sad to find a place lacking. The Witchery still ticks the boxes for atmosphere and the a la carte may be good but surely the set menu is a kind of shop window for a restaurant. The Sunday lunch offering had few and rather unenticing choices. We sensed pleasant surprises but no, the mackerel pate was just that,... More

Went there for a special occasion and were both really disappointed. The portions were small, food not very impressive (and quite cold) and service not that attentive. It should be far better for the amount it costs.

Terrific atmosphere,excellent wine list,food amazing,staff very attentive,rooms a real treat. Position central. An absolute must in gems of a break in Edinburgh. My favourite spot. An experience and a delightful experience.

A truly extraordinary environment and experience! The location is terrific, adjacent to Edinburgh Castle at the top of the Royal Mile. We stayed in the Guardroom (with a view of Castle walls from the bedroom) for four nights in early May. The suite was expansive (effectively a large one-bedroom apartment), thematically imaginative/whimsical/historic, and very comfortable & quiet. Each morning began... More

I went to the Witchery with my girlfriend as a treat. We were bowled over by the great atmosphere and the ambiance of the place. I ordered the double sirloin steak and she ordered the pork. I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the steak. Quite easily the best I have ever tasted. Not cheap but worth it.

This establishment is ideal for the sights of Edinburgh old town. It's location just down from the castle creates a sense of history and makes one feel like you have travelled back in time. The service is excellent and the food is great too

Having read the reviews (Mr & Mrs Smith, Conde Nast Traveller and various other design and travel magazines) I knew that The Witchery in Edinburgh was going to be amazing. But what can't be captured in the reviews (and mine being one of them) is the crackle and magic in the air which you feel when you stay in such... More

My fiance booked us a stay in the Old Rectory suite as a birthday surprise and I have to say, it was the best place ive ever stayed in my life! The Witchery isnt just a place to stay for the night, its an experience. From the moment I arrived, I was absolutely stunned. The staff were amazing (and were... More

I went with my parents to the Witchery for evening dining at the restaurant. I had very high expectations as my parents had been there on many occasions whilst staying there for the Edinburgh Tattoo. Well this time we were there for Hogmanay and had booked in for our final evening. I was enchanted but the fantastic decor and ambience... More
