Carlowrie Castle is a hidden gem on Edinburgh’s doorstep. Please note that the castle is an exclusive-use venue, and hire includes the whole castle and estate - we do not hire rooms individually. Set amidst an expansive 32-acre estate, Carlowrie Castle is a stunning luxury exclusive-use venue for special occasions, house parties, weddings and corporate events. Our family-owned castle has been the home of romance and adventure for many generations, from the modern-day love stories of our wedding couples to the adventures of the castle's most famous resident, Isobel Wylie Hutchison, the 20th-century explorer, who lived at Carlowrie all her life.
There are 21 luxury bedrooms within the castle, gate lodge and newly converted stables. Each room features handcrafted beds and cabinetry, and original artwork by contemporary artists. Our ensuite bathrooms have underfloor heating, gorgeous roll-top baths and spacious walk-in showers.
Only eight miles, or a 20-minute drive, from the centre of Scotland’s capital city Edinburgh and 10 minutes from Edinburgh International Airport, this 19th Century baronial mansion house has undergone lavish restoration under the careful watch of owner Andrew Marshall.
Carlowrie is a remarkable retreat that blends rich heritage with modern elegance and luxurious comfort. A haven where guests have the space and tranquillity to relax and escape. Voted one of the top three venues in Europe at The International Hotel Awards and one of the 8 Best Wedding Venues Around The World by Grazia Magazine.
Whether you're with us for a wedding, a business event or a gala dinner, there's something about Carlowrie that brings an extra sprinkle of magic to the occasion. When you book an event with us, the castle and gardens are exclusively yours for the day, and we have 55 members of staff who are here to make your time at Carlowrie a truly stand-out experience.

Carlowrie Castle venue is absolutely stunning - many of our guests were travelling from outside of Scotland most were for the first time visiting Scotland and were blown away by the castle and grounds. The service was outstanding, we had fantastic stay start to finish..

From the moment we approached the building up the beautiful drive way were absolutely in love with Carlowrie Castle! As we were attending our great niece’s wedding we were already excited but once inside we couldn’t believe such a wonderful place existed so close to Edinburgh and Glasgow! The stables where we stayed was just perfect and the room was a perfect place to sleep after the festivities! The wedding reception was pretty spectacular and the food served was amazing, bearing in mind the groom was a Michelin chef and his wife was a classically trained pastry chef the food, presentation and quality was outstanding! Great place to celebrate with our family and brand new friends! Kindest regards and gratitude Mr Kenny Hunter

Spectacular! Our best friends had their wedding on Thursday and it was a truly wonderful day from start to finish. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We stayed in the wonderful Birch room/apartment which was absolutely immaculate and that bathroom!! The whole experience was amazing! Thank you!!

We went to a friends wedding at this venue and stayed in the stables in the birch room. It was phenomenal! Sleeping on that bed was like sleeping on a cloud and the pillows were perfection. In the morning I had the best shower ever. The venue is gorgeous, with the cutest and sweetest highland cows. The food was delicious and the grounds were breathtaking. Cannot recommend this place enough!
