Fantastic, Peaceful Hotel

Such a comfortable bed, room was immaculate, staff were superb and so friendly and helpful. As I was leaving each morning before breakfast was served I was given to option of a breakfast bag which contained plenty to keep you going till lunch. All facilities are excellent and kept to extremely high standards.

Avoid at All Costs – A Nightmare Stay

Start to finish, my stay was nothing short of a disaster. I have a feather allergy and had messaged the hotel pre-arrival to ensure the room would be prepared accordingly. Yet, walked in to find feather pillows on the bed. Two replacement pillows I was given were a joke—one was lumpy as hell, and the other was paper-thin I had to stack towels underneath to get any support. The bed itself, a torture device—lumpy springs poking through the mattress, a huge dip in the middle, and zero comfort. Add to that a freezing cold room where the heaters barely worked even on full blast. I ended up shivering through both nights. Cleanliness? Non-existent. Dust everywhere, carpets were filthy, and I kept my shoes on until I got into bed because the floor was so disgusting. The bathroom—when I lifted a “fresh” towel to my face, I was greeted with brown stains. I don’t even want to imagine what they were. A skylight in the bathroom was covered in dead insects, just to add to the nightmare. The room was damp—clearly, the hotel knows this, as there were three damp collectors in the closet and two plug-in air fresheners desperately trying (and failing) to mask the stench. Top it all off, the breakfast server smashed my plate by accident, and when I asked to be moved after the first night, I was flat-out denied. If I hadn’t booked a non-refundable rate, I would have left immediately, but instead, I had to endure two miserable nights of hell. Do yourself a favour—stay literally anywhere else

The property is very tired and in desperate need of an upgrade. Our room had a tiny little radiator with the windows letting in plenty of cold air. Disappointing for such a well known brand like Macdonald to let it's properties get like this. The food was excellent - which is always a reason to stay with MacDonald - but unfortunately, we won't be back to this hotel (not least until it's had a bit of tlc).

Defo return can’t fault hotel and staff

Great stay, close to train station to get to Edinburgh. The breakfast was prefect, order what you want from the menu and it’s all fresh and the service was amazing, can’t recommend this hotel enough, will defo be back, if I would change anything it would be the bed was 2 singles put together so could feel the gap so was just like sleeping in single bed even tho we are married and I would prefer a single bed for my daugther not just a pull out bed. But other then that was a fab stay
