"The secret bathroom with free-standing bathtub and ridiculously flattering lighting is a magical experience."
"The Armoury is like an entire apartment with everything one can wish for."
"It's a great feeling to walk around Edinburgh's lively, chaotic, August streets for a day, then to return to a Witchery suite with soft lighting, music playing, cold waters and cookies in a jar!"

“The Witchery's gothic suites beside Edinburgh Castle create a darkly romantic mood, amplified by the award-winning restaurant and its excellent wine list.
