Pool and sauna etc all great. Staff are nice enough, service can be a bit slow. Food wasn’t great. Burger was average and expensive. Children’s mini pizza wouldn’t be eaten by majority of kids, including mine - strong Gruyère cheese (or similar) with a base of sundried tomato - too salty and too strong a flavour for kids. Breakfast was the biggest disappointment - porridge was like soup with lumps, couldn’t eat it. Pale sausages with no colour, I was worried they weren’t cooked, scrambled egg was also inedible. So much of a stay in a hotel is about the food, so it was a let down.

This was an amazing hotel to stay at. First time in Edinburgh, this hotel had great history and beautiful grounds. The staff on reception were very helpful especially Chloe who went out of her way to upgrade our rooms & chat to us too! Also really enjoyed the leisure facilities. Didn’t want to leave! Our beds were very comfy- I will be back!

Beautiful property friendly staff 30 minutes from Edinburgh drive. No ac, can open window nice enough in summer. No elevator- carry luggage up 3 flights of stairs. - probably the main negative Dated needs renovation but clean- does have a nice enough tub to enjoy a bath. TV does offer Netflix etc Restaurant/bar is very cozy wine cellar vibe but not much available service wise only one staff between restaurant upstairs and bar downstairs at night. The grounds a pretty - gardens and wildlife are abundant. Can see golf course but not easily. Parking easy and safe.

We stayed at the hotel as a family of four for one night in May. The service we received was amazing. We arrived really early morning and asked to leave our luggage in storage but instead they offered to quickly set up our room so that we could check in properly and leave everything in the room before venturing out. Once back at the hotel we used the pool and children loved it. It’s warm and clean and they have some swimming aids in the pool area that we could use while there. The beds were super comfortable and bathroom clean. All in all we had an amazing stay! Thank you Chloe and team!

We were just here for one night before flying out of Edinburgh. It was a great alternative to higher priced hotels near the airport. There is a bus stop right outside this quaint spa-resort. It was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. I would recommend.
