History of the hotel

The Castle, which is situated in the parish of Cockpen, eight miles south of Edinburgh, dates from the 13th century, although only the enormously thick walls at the foundation level and the vaults remain, of the original building. The main parts of the present structure were built about 1450 from red stone quarried from the opposite bank of the South Esk River on which the Castle stands. In the succeeding centuries there have been various additions and modifications, but the essential form of the Castle which had an L-shaped keep surrounded by an outer curtain wall can still be clearly seen.

Dogs Policy

There are just 2 Castle Rocks Suites that accommodate dogs, these incur an upgrade charge on top of the Castle rooms.  Dogs are charged at £25.00 per dog per night.  Please advise before booking if you would like to stay with your dog and we will be happy to check availability and pricing for you.

Please note that the Castle Rocks rooms are not located in the Main hotel Dogs are not permitted in the Castle itself.
