Nice road hotel with comfortable rooms and good service. The parking lot is a great plus for this hotel. Two bus routes connect it with Edinburgh's centre, so if you don't want to drive through the city's roads, it is a great alternative for your road trip to Scotland.

Wow I absolutely love this place and I’m fussy with hotels. I needed a pit stop for a night for me and 2 young adults (kids) from north Scotland as driving to England.  …

The staff were really friendly and helpful and the room was very clean. The food in the restaurant was very good as well as lovely friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.It was ideal location aswell so you don't have to drive into Edinburgh for parking as the bus stop is a couple of minutes walk away.

adorable hotel, had the most relaxing time. It's tucked away in a peaceful countryside setting, so it's far away from all the noise and chaos of the city. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, and the surroundings are just beautiful. I loved taking walks in the countryside and exploring the nearby city, which was easy to get to thanks to the public transportation. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, this hotel is a perfect choice, and there is a lot of parking.

I think everything about the hotel was great, besides the fact that it was a bit further outside Edinburgh - a fact which I have accepted before booking! The staff was very helpful and welcoming to us. The room was spacious and clean. The beds were very comfortable. Parking is available. Brian was amazing - he took the extra mile to help find the location to look for my lost wallet and helped me phone up the bank. Thanks for the great stay!

We stayed four nights and it was lovely. The rooms and other public spaces were exceptionally clean and well-kept, and the staff was always helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in a quiet area away from the city centre, and well connected by bus. The pub across the entrance where meals were served was also very clean and tastefully furnished, and food was always delicious. The staff was attentive towards people with food allergies and being a celiac it was important for me to feel safe and be able to choose meals I liked.
