Nice and relaxed atmosphere, easy to communicate with the staff. Very good view to the Forth railroad bridge from the room. Good to retire to this quiet place after a long day in Edinbourgh. β€¦

Didn't stay in the hotel, just came in for a couple of pints. The bar is small but comfortable and spotlessly clean. I had two pints of Guinness which were excellent and reasonably priced. Will definitely come again and would certainly recommend.

Lovely and quaint. Clean with comfortable beds. Great staff and the pub is fun. The only drawback is no internet in rooms. You have to go down to the bar or breakfast room to connect.

Good food & fantastic view of Forth Bridge (if lucky enough to be seated at the one and only one window table). It'd be even more perfect if there were more food choices.

Barman took away 2 glasses from our table as soon as 2 of the company had finished and felt that we were being rushed to buy another in a half empty lounge
