A closer look at the details our guests notice most
Our chefs work with farms and suppliers around Edinburgh and the Lothians, building seasonal menus around produce that's fresh, traceable, and thoughtfully prepared.
A cellar assembled over years of tasting and travel, featuring Scottish gins alongside European wines chosen to complement each course on the menu.
A quiet, wood-panelled room set aside for classic table games, roulette and blackjack among them, staffed by professional dealers for guests wanting an evening of entertainment on-site.
Original stonework, fireplaces, and period furnishings have been preserved and restored, giving the lodge a character that newer builds simply can't replicate.
Several rooms throughout the lodge can be arranged for private dinners, small celebrations, or gatherings, each with its own atmosphere and outlook over the grounds.
Many of our staff have been with Dunmarly Lodge for years, and it shows in the small touches, from remembering a returning guest's usual table to timing courses well.
Comfortable places to rest, just steps from the dining room and gaming lounge
A well-proportioned room with garden views, a writing desk, and period detailing that reflects the building's original character.
A spacious suite with a separate sitting area, overlooking the walled garden, ideal for guests wanting extra room to relax.
A cosy room adjoining the old manor library, featuring a four-poster bed and views over the front lawn.
Our largest suite, with a private lounge corner, deep soaking tub, and views across the grounds toward the tree line.
We stayed two nights for an anniversary and the Garden Suite was exactly what we needed, quiet, spacious, good light in the morning. Had dinner both nights, second night we tried the gaming lounge after, dealers were relaxed and easy to chat with.
Booked the Library Room for a work trip, ended up extending a night because the whole place is just calmer than a normal hotel. The venison on the menu was properly good, not just decoration on a plate.
My parents wanted somewhere with history for their 40th, we got the Executive Lodge Suite, plenty of room for the extended family to gather before dinner. The staff sorted table arrangements without us having to chase anyone.
Went for one night mainly curious about the table games lounge, stayed for the food honestly. Blackjack table was small and unhurried, nothing flashy, just a nice way to end an evening after a long dinner.
The Classic Manor Room had more character than most places twice the price, original fireplace and everything. Breakfast was simple but well done, and nobody rushed us out in the morning.
Held a small retirement dinner in one of their private rooms, maybe 14 of us. They handled the menu changes for a couple of dietary needs without any fuss and the room itself felt properly set apart from the main dining area.
Reserve a room, a table, or both, and let the rest of the evening take care of itself.
The gaming lounge is open to both overnight guests and visitors dining with us that evening. We'd recommend calling ahead, as space is limited and it can fill up on weekends and around holidays.
A reservation isn't strictly required but is strongly advised, particularly Friday and Saturday evenings. You can request a spot when booking your table or room, or call the lodge directly on the day.
We ask for smart casual attire in the dining room and gaming lounge in the evenings. Jeans are fine if paired with a collared shirt or similar; we'd rather guests feel comfortable than overly formal.
Yes, several rooms in the lodge can be set aside for private dinners or small events, typically for groups of 8 to 40. Contact us in advance so we can discuss menu options and room availability.
Yes, Dunmarly Lodge has a gravel courtyard car park for guests and diners, free of charge. Space is generous outside of peak weekend evenings, when we may direct you to overflow parking nearby.
