Dedicated free parking at the back & a bus stop out front which takes you straight into Edinburgh until very late. The food was delicious & the locals friendly.

The property was well kept, though an older building it was clean. It was handy to have the restaurant right there. It was close to the airport, and the staff was very friendly. Oh, and the bed was very comfortable. Even better than my own.
