Madeliene Sent on 09/06/2025Unexpected Dream Wedding
My husband and I planned on have a large wedding with almost 100 people. As we started planning this wedding, we started hating the idea more and more of how much time, and money, and effort went into planning this. We already had out yearly trip planned to Scotland, and I jokingly asked if he would be ok with an elopement style wedding at a castle in the UK when we went. The idea grew more and more on us. So, we reached out to our immediate family and they were ok with the idea. Of all the places we looked at this had the best packages for the price. We reached out and they sent over some many photos and fell in love instantly. But it wasn't jus the pricing and scenery we fell in love with. The wedding planner, Hannah, was so sweet and really made you feel like you were a member of their tiny town that everyone knows everyone and invites you over for dinner. We booked the wedding late December 2024 and she helped plan everything for the wedding in mid March 2025. All we did was send over our pintrest inspo and she did everything from the alter, to the reception set up, the cake, the dinner menu (all we did was pick), the first look with dad and private vow reading, managing vendors. She even asked questions we didnt even think of that really added to the overall experience of our wedding. The hotel, land, and town were just breath taking. There was not one complaint. There is nothing bad that we could say about this place. The rooms were clean and cozy. The bar and restaurant were delicious, loved cooking my steak on the lava stone. Even getting to and from Edinburg was easy. There is a busy that you can get on in the city and take it all the way through the countryside that drops you off at their driveway. And not to mention they have a farm along their driveway with alpacas. The town had a cute little tavern that the group frequented. The grounds have a lot of history. The wedding alter outside and the tree covered aisle were beautiful. Really trusted the process on this and highly recommend a small Scotish countryside wedding here.Barony Castle Hotel's reply:

Excellent wedding venue
Barony Castle is an absolutely stunning venue for any wedding. We had full use of the hotel & loved every second. The grounds are stunning for pictures & there's plenty of space for over night guests. Hannah, our wedding planner, made sure our day went nearly perfect. The food was excellent too! My husband & I were both very happy with our wedding at Barony. It's lovely when we return and the staff remember us too! Looking forward to celebrating our 1st anniversary at Barony too.Barony Castle Hotel's reply:

Zoe Sent on 25/10/2025A wedding of a lifetime
We could not have chosen a better place to marry than the Barony Castle Hotel. From the moment we walked through the door to quietly observe the venue, Hannah and the dedicated hotel staff welcomed us with open arms, sharing our vision of creating a magical day not only for us, but for each and every one of our guests. The Barony Castle Hotel offered an enchanting location at an affordable cost, along with a comprehensive package where every detail was taken care of, from the flowers and music to the exquisite photos and an elegant wedding cake. All we had to do was relax and enjoy. Over a year of planning from two far away countries, and on the day itself, Hannah and the highly professional staff graciously accommodated every single one of our requests, tailoring our wishes into a seamless event that our guests called "a wedding of a lifetime."Barony Castle Hotel's reply:
Dear Zoe and Vidar, thank you for taking the time to give such a wonderful review. We all love having you here, the staff still talk about how wonderful you and your guests were. I am just so glad that our zoom calls helped to translate the beautiful wedding day vision that you both created. Hannah X -

Rachel Sent on 16/10/2025Beautiful Venue
We had a truly lovely day at our wedding. Everything ran smoothly overall, and the team were incredibly helpful throughout the process. Our wedding coordinator, Hannah, in particular was fantastic — always on hand to answer questions and make sure things came together just as we’d hoped.
The food was simply outstanding — by far the best meal we’ve ever had at a wedding, and so many of our guests commented on how delicious it was. Even though the weather didn’t fully cooperate (storm Floris), the venue offered plenty of beautiful indoor spots for photos, which turned out wonderfully.
The suites were lovely, and having access to both the Eddleston and adjoining Darnhall in the morning was absolutely perfect for getting ready and relaxing before the ceremony.
We’d also like to give a special mention to two members of staff who truly went above and beyond — Noah and Jack. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail were exceptional and really stood out to us and our guests.
Thank you to the entire team for helping make our wedding day so memorableBarony Castle Hotel's reply:
Dear Rachel and Andrew,
Thank you so much for taking the time to give such a wonderful review, I really appreciate it. I am just so glad you are happy with your gorgeous photos regardless of the weather conditions! Maybe you can get dressed up again and we can see you next year for round 2? I will be sure to pass on your comments to the appropriate staff members who will be absolutely chuffed! Hannah X -

Wonderful wedding at Barony Castle!
Our wedding day was very well executed, especially the meal. We had a few meetings with wedding coordinator, Hannah in the lead up to the big day which gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get organised. She was also very reachable over the phone and email and keen to accommodate our requests where possible.
We got married on the front lawn which was beautiful and we had a brilliant day. Thanks for everything!Barony Castle Hotel's reply:
Dear Aimee and Charlie, Thank you so much for giving a review! I am so glad that you had a brilliant day. After the run around the weather gave us all, I am just so thankful that we managed to get you outside to the front lawn. It really did look stunning. Thank you, I always try my best to make all of your plans go well. I look forward to having you back for your anniversary! Hannah X -

Janine Sent on 10/10/2025Our Magical Wedding at Barony Castle
Barony Castle didn't disappoint. We attended one of the wedding fares and I just knew this was the place I was going to take my vows.
The pathway down to the alter with elm trees intertwined to make a tunnel was stunning and the sunlight bursting through the gaps made it very magical. Two years planning our intimate wedding and the help we got from Hannah and the team were amazing. The few days we were there for the wedding ALL of the staff were amazing and nothing was too much to do for you. All my guests and ourselves appreciate how friendly and helpful they were. The wedding day was perfect and we probably had the hottest day in Scotland ever. I just can't thank them all enough for making our day extra special. Everything ran smoothly and everyone really had the best time. I would highly recommend Barony Castle. Just wish I could do it all againBarony Castle Hotel's reply:
Dear Janine,
Thank you so so much for taking the time to give a review. I am just so thankful that you managed to get down to the altar and it was such a gorgeous day for you both. Look forward to seeing you again in the future!
