All rooms are heated using the castle’s eco-friendly ground source heating system which keeps the entire castle at an extremely comfortable temperature throughout the year.
Little Sustainability Gems About the Property
In 2018 the owners put ground source heating in place, which means that they don't use fossil fuels to heat the property. All of the electricity at the property comes from renewable energy sources, and logs for the fires are provided from windfall and thinned trees on the estate. The castle is also an A-listed historic building of architectural importance with some historically significant pieces of furniture.

Welcome to Langton Castle. The castle has belonged to the same family for almost 600 years. The present house was built in 1785 and incorporates the walls of a much older castle.
Today the castle remains a private family house, available for exclusive fully serviced weekend, mid-week or weekly rentals. Restored and continually maintained to the highest standard, every original feature is retained, and can be appreciated as intended. All of the modern comforts that one would expect are successfully incorporated without detracting from the character of the house and the relaxed atmosphere which visitors continually comment upon and enjoy so much.
- It's only an hour from the centre of Edinburgh – so fairly easy to organise a mini bus or whatever to transfer you in and out...
- For larger groups, there is accommodation on the estate for 16 additional guests available subject to availability for an additional cost
- Can walk to restaurant in Summer but not advisable in the dark.
