What a gem of a hotel and restaurant! We stayed here the night before we left Scotland. We lucked up with this one! We stayed in room 15. It had a lovely view of the Firth of Fourth and the bridges.  …

I absolutely love staying at this hotel. My partner and I must've stayed here 4 or 5 times now, and it never disappoints. The rooms are brilliant, the food is superb, and the service exceeds expectations. Can't wait to come back.

First stay here following the recommendations seen on Google.The recommendations are correct.The staff are helpful polite and friendly.The food in the Samphire restaurant is very good. The gentleman serving us apologised for the 20 min wait for the food to be cooked fresh. Not a problem at all.The room is small but clean, feels like new, bathroom is perfect with a decent shower.Bed is firm, but it's so difficult for a bed to be like your own. A very good night's sleep though. A selection of pillow firm or soft which is very good and unusual.As for the views, you expect a view of the Forth bridges but sometimes expectations are not matched by reality.Room 3 exceeded our expectations.We'll be back

Have stayed many times and unfortunately the room let it down for us this time won't hurry back. 7am we were wakened by the music from the beer garden had to close the window in an already small room that we were given. Paying over £250 I expected to get a better sized room although the view was beautiful of the water and bridge.Disappointed this time sorry bed wasn't great either with dents in the mattress not going to rush back let down for us this time. Sorry....

We had an incredible breakfast in the dining room overlooking the bridge. Great service and delicious food! We walked from the Dakota Hotel as we didn't know there were accommodations in town. Sorry we didn't stay in the hotel as it looked adorable

Lovely lunch for my wife’s birthday. Food was excellent as was the service from an efficient , happy and enthusiastic staff. Very reasonably priced compared to a couple of rip off places in South Queensferry . Sticky toffee pudding was amazing!

Booked this restaurant due to having knowledge of the area as a surprise to the people I was with for the view! Great location and stunning view in an evening when the bridges are lit up. Food was really good, atmosphere great and we didn’t feel rushed by any of the staff or got the impression they needed our table. We were happily able to remain and have drinks after dinner. Service was great, very professional,

What a beautiful and quaint hotel. The rooms are spacious, beautiful and comfortable. I had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant and it was comparably priced and VERY good. The staff was helpful and friendly. You do have to catch the bus for a 30 minute ride into Edinburgh but it was easy and well worth it to stay in a quiet area
