We have been going to the west port for many years but today will be the last until they get the dog situation sorted. The last thing I want when having a meal in a restaurant is having a dog running about. …

Such a lovely place to stay! We stopped over here while doing the John Muir Way and loved it. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond, and the rooms even have pod coffee machines. Super clean, so kudos to housekeeping, comfy beds, great bar and restaurant. We loved it.

The room was beautiful and the staff were all lovely. The food and drink was also fantastic. The location was a massive win for my partner being close to where Mary queen of Scots lived as she's a massive history geek. Everything was top notch and worked perfectly for us. We will definitely be coming back at some point.

Great location (walk to the palace) and the room was lovely - spacious and comfortable. The only problem was a slightly dodgy shower. It was hard to adjust and seemed you could only have a hot trickle or a warm, slightly stronger shower. Matt popped up to have a look and was very helpful but we still couldn’t get it to work properly. Maybe that was us. Breakfast was lovely. A good place to stay.

Came here for dinner last week. Food was amazing, piping hot as always and tasted fantastic. Service was good as usual and the facilities in the bar area were great. Bonus that there is parking to the rear for those rainy days and the beer garden in hot weather is what the town needs

Went for a few drink in the beer garden since the sun was out. Beer garden was lovely. Very modern. Handy app you could order from to save you going into the bar every time to order drinks. Staff were very fast in making drinks. …
