Not suitable for families. On both nights of our stay, close to our room they had wedding parties. Very loud music with DJs shouting until almost midnight. Defeated the whole point of the hotel as a place to rest after a day in Edinburgh. Room was dated with small sofa bed. Swimming pool was nice and staff there were pleasant. Management were not interested in our complaint about loud music.

We had a great stay at this hotel. The design is really unique and stylish, a mix of different building types set in a beautiful garden. It’s also conveniently close to the airport, which made our travel much easier. The breakfast was excellent with a great variety of options, and the service overall was very pleasant. But what truly was amazing was the kindness of the staff. My daughter accidentally left behind her small plush puppy dog, which is very special to her and to us. The hotel not only found it, but mailed it back to us. A huge thank you to Chloe, who went out of her way to help, we’re so grateful! Highly recommend this place!

The whole property needs cleaning, renovating, refurbishing. The paint peels off the outside wallls, the windows need renovating, the bathroom had mould in msby places, the carpet in the corridors is worn. We were on the second floor and nobody offered help to carry luggage. The restaurant was advertised as gaving scottish food with a midern twist, but it was standard pub food, 50% indian dishes.

Being our first time in Scotland, I booked this hotel based on the authenticity and heritage of the site and building. The grounds are beautiful! I have nothing to say about it My disappointment was really for some of the service and amenities aspects and the condition of the rooms. I recommend adding a small fridge and coffee/espresso machine in the rooms and easier access to ice etc...The rooms could be renovated as they were worn out. Other than that I enjoyed the stay. Thank you! Hamlet

Quick stay near airport

Was close to the airport and convenient. Our room did not look like the photos in the ad and was shabby. Toilet didn’t really flush. The walls seemed thin and we could hear people arguing in the hall and in neighboring rooms. The bar was cozy and the food was decent.

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.

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.
