No food available especially breakfast. Nearest available opens at 11 am. Chipshop open evenings next door. Room allocated was not correct. Although room clean bathrooms are shared not en suite. Bar pleasant and locals friendly. Station and trains nearby to Edinburgh

Room is okay for sleeping in, TV could be better of on a swivel stand, wardrobe is a good design and bed is comfy, bathroom is nice and big and modern, room is by a different door which is good and the staff in the bar were very nice and helpful and for the price I can not complain will definitely use if we are staying in this area again

Location is right next to bus stops that can take you to Edinburgh or Falkirk town centre. The pub service is quick and friendly. The atmosphere is cosy and isn’t busy on non football days. Only a short walk to the train station (15 minutes). Good selection of drinks and also had typical bar snacks.

The restaurant offers high street quality food. Me and my partner were absolutely amazed and impressed!I had the BEST chicken korma EVER! We're only staying here for a couple of days, but I would be happy to drive up from Manchester just for dinner. We were so content with the starters and mains, that we asked if the chef, Thomas G, could surprise us and choose dessert for us. We were right to trust him, I've never had a fluffier, tastier cheesecake in my life.I wish all the best and lots of success to this amazing restaurant!Thank you sooo much for this wonderful dining experience!
