About this property

Monkton House: 15th century castle near Edinburgh

Monkton House was built by the monks of Newbattle Abbey as a safe haven from English invaders and sits in 2 acres of private grounds. Three of the opulent bedrooms have four-poster beds, and there are plenty of unusual features. There are gun loops and arrow slits, one of the drawing rooms is inspired by the Prince Regent’s Brighton Pavilion and hand-painted in maximalist chinoiserie, and there’s even a secret room. You can imagine yourself in another time when you stay here.
The accommodation
Facilities include a games room, cinema, library and gym. Catering can be provided on request.

Nearby is the historic city of Edinburgh, just a few minutes away by train or bus, the beautiful county of East Lothian with beaches, country walks and many world-renowned golf courses.
Passenger access
The entire accommodation is available for the exclusive use of travelers.
