We will all be back, the food was DELICIOUS with very generous portions, the staff were welcoming and friendly and the place was clean and warm on what was a freezing night, overall just a lovely experience.

I stayed at the Fairway Hotel & Restaurant for four nights whilst on a course at a nearby training centre.Staff - All amazing. Mike (Manager) was awaiting my (late) arrival at 11pm, very a very professional and pleasant young man. Shirley saw to my breakfast every day, and remembered what I would have (soon as she seen me she popped the coffee machine on for my brew), and her breakfasts were delicious! Worth a special mention is that her Tattie Scones were prepared perfectly! Marty looked after my evening meals, and I enjoyed her chat and banter. Often coming over to check if I wanted "another prosecco". :) All three are a credit to the Fairway, and an asset to the hospitality industry.Room - The (family) room was okay, double bed and a single bed. The room was a little tired but clean and if you're just wanting a place to sleep it does the job. There's tea/coffee facilities in the room on a side unit, that can be doubled as a small desk but you've to sit on the bed to use. A lick of paint, some new sockets and mattresses and a small desk would make it an ideal room if you were working away. If I was down with family, it would of been fine, but would benefit from a little refresh.Food - The restaurant was excellent. I normally go for a burger if eating out, but I had Shirley had mentioned the steak pie on my first morning, so I thought I'd give it a bash. Delicious is an understatement. I had the burger the next night, before going for the steak pie again on night three. Haggis Bon Bons were my starter every night as they were also amazing. I'm not sure who the chef is, but they are a master in the kitchen. I have no doubt, if I'm ever in Bathgate, or the surrounding area, the Fairway is the only place I would go for food!

Stayed for one night and had dinner and breakfast. Food was lovely and the staff were really friendly, especially the restaurant manager. For one night’s stay the room was okay, but the double room was very compact and the one we had doesn’t match the photos on their website. The hotel really needs some investment and upgrading. The room flooring and furniture was old and tired looking, the bed base was from two different beds (but comfy enough), the walls in our room had greasy marks on them and the bathroom looks about 30 years old. But as I said it was fine for a night and reasonably priced.

Visited with family for a meal and the food was lovely, service was friendly and efficient. Disabled parking was a wee bit of a walk from the restaurant door but other than that it was a good visit. :)

My wife and I were staying in Edinburgh on Vacation and decided to stay here our two nights. When we got to the hotel around 9pm and to no fault of their own they were double booked and didn’t have a room for us. We booked through Priceline and their customer service was of no help finding us a new hotel to stay at. Even though the staff here was super friendly and let us get out of the rain and charge our phones and use their phone call other hotels all this even after they were closed for the evening. We ended up having to wander around in the rain after midnight trying to find a hotel to stay at.

Staff were lovely, really made a difference to the stay. Room was quite small and could do with a refurb or a lick of paint but I had a comfortable sleep. Wife had breakfast and she said it was lovely. Lovely big car park on site. Can’t say I’d have a reason to stay in the area again but if I did I’d be happy staying here again, great value for money
