castle hotels near Edinburgh
Discussion
Hi
I would like to go to Edinburgh this weekend (sat till mon) with mrs. ISee.
I very much liked the Glen Eagles castle retreat, however it is slightly more than i wanted to spend.
Glen Eagles offer a package where each guest gets an activity included in their rate (I was looking to try out falconry, or clay pidgeon shooting whilst the mrs could go for spa pampering), however it comes out at just over £900 and I was hoping to spend no more than £600. We are doing this weekend away instead of a week abroad basically and at £900 we cannot justify it.
Could you guys and gals recommend soemthing close to Edinburgh that can provide these activities and is a big castle estate rather than a hotel for my budget please?
Cheers.

Depends what you mean by near, I've only ever heard fantastic things about here: Stobo Castle
They'll pick you up from Edinburgh and drop you back.

You do realise Gleneagles is about an hours drive from Edinburgh?
I can think of a couple of places near Perth which is about an hours drive North of Edinburgh. I think you'll struggle to find somewhere suitable really close to Edinburgh at such short notice.
Yeah. However, if I don't come up with something suitable for this weekend, I will get a massive "I told you so" routine from the mrs, since she's been asking for this for at least two months warning me that by the time I pull the trigger everything will be fully booked.I can think of a couple of places near Perth which is about an hours drive North of Edinburgh.

So you see I am at a point where I really, REALLY, need to find something suitable.
