We recently visited The Craigie Hotel in Penicuik for a date night, and though we didn’t stay overnight, our dining experience was top-notch. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming ambiance and friendly staff made us feel right at home.The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere – warm, cozy, and well-designed. It strikes the perfect balance between modern and classic, making it a comfortable spot for any occasion. The staff were attentive and helpful, offering great recommendations and ensuring everything was just right.As for the food, it was simply outstanding. The menu had a wonderful selection of dishes, focusing on locally sourced ingredients that showcased the best of Scottish cuisine. Every plate was beautifully presented and full of flavor. From the starters to the main courses, each dish was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the quality was evident in every bite.If you’re in the area and looking for a fantastic meal, I’d highly recommend stopping by The Craigie Hotel’s restaurant. It’s a wonderful spot to enjoy excellent food and friendly service in a relaxed setting. We’ll definitely be returning!

Beautifully restored period house hotel in a great location only half an hour or so from Edinburgh city centre by car. Extremely well presented with contemporary decor and kept very clean and tidy. Very pleasant and professional, courteous staff. Breakfasts (full Scottish on this occasion) and coffees are excellent.
