We booked a night at the Witchery in Edinburgh to celebrate my 65th birthday and retirement and so glad we did. A truly amazing place, a bucket list experience. My daughter, an avid book reader, stayed in the library suite and my wife and I, the guardroom suite. To say we were overwhelmed when entering the suites is an understatement. They were unbelievable and have to be seen to be believed. The atmosphere of the room and the decor takes you back to a bygone age. Complementary Champagne and chocolates awaited us in both our suites on arrival which was most welcome as was the totally unexpected note from the Witchery management wishing me a happy birthday and retirement. (A souvenir from our visit to treasure) The food in the restaurant was to die for, a fine dining experience, Seared scallops, lemon sole and venison and haggis wellington all perfectly cooked and served quickly. The staff in the Witchery were absolutely fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble, they were always helpful, efficient and friendly and certainly not stuffy. Our stay at the Witchery was to be a “one off” experience for us but how can anyone not want to return again to this incredible place… Wow!! We certainly will return some time in the future, we need to experience staying in the other suites!! A 5 star review does not do the Witchery justice, this has to be one of the best, if not THE best, place we have ever stayed at.
