 Themed Four Poster Rooms
The hotel boasts nine historically themed four-poster bedrooms. Each of these is individually designed and elegantly styled to create a room full of unique character.
Dalhousie (Room 4)
Located in the Castle Tower, this wonderfully unique, large, circular room has a large double four poster bed and classical oak furniture of the 16th Century period. The working steel shutters once used for protection from enemy sieges, now provide a barrier against the elements. The bathroom connects via a private corridor, decorated with miniature tapestries.
Cockpen (Room 8) (pictured)
Named after the local Cockpen Church - the Ramsay family church - and the famous poem, 'The Laird of Cockpen.
This large, bright room provides glorious views over rolling parkland and forests, towards the distant Lammermuir Hills. The decor tastefully combines minted greens, pink and beige with a double four poster bed, in the Castle's unique style. The en-suite bathroom reflects a warm, classically modern interior.
Sir Walter Scott (Room 10)
Sir Walter Scott, an old school friend and regular visitor to the Castle in the early 19th Century. A large high ceiling room, facing south with tranquil views across the twisting River South Esk and rolling parkland. The decor reflects a warm and comforting approach towards luxury living, with rich mahogany furniture blended into shades of yellow and beige. This four poster room is festooned with Sir Walter Scott artifacts and could be converted into an adjacent sitting room for the Queen Victoria room. The bathroom represents, with its fittings and decor, a late Georgian and early Victorian style.
Cromwell (Room 12)
The new Cromwell room features a unique four-poster King-size bed and a “bodyguard” single bed in the entrance lobby. Oliver Cromwell laid siege to the Castle and then used it as his lowland headquarters during the Parliamentarian and Royalist conflict in 1648.
Edward 1st (Room 14)
The Edward I is an enlarged room (from two existing Castle Rooms) has a King-size four-poster bed, enlarged Bathroom and its own restored tower. This “infamous” English king actually stayed at the Castle before the Battle of Falkirk in 1298, when Sir William Wallace was defeated. Immortalised by Mel Gibson in “Braveheart”.
The Lairds (Room 20)
Named after the famous Laird of Cockpen Poem or Song , who’s coat is displayed in the local Cockpen Church. The Lairds theme bedroom, with warm burgundy, red and beige tones features a large four poster bed and overlooks the parkland and distant forest below.
William Wallace (Room 22)
This grand room, with doors leading out onto the Castle battlements, offers a unique panorama across open fields, forests and the River South Esk, towards the distant Lammermuir Hills. Incorporating natural Castle stone with Wallace Tartan and Gothic style fittings, the large bed can be made up as a twin or double. The heraldic theme of the bedroom itself is complemented by a windowed bathroom with Wallace crest tiles and oak paneling.
