Our stay at Arden House last week was first class.Alice was extremely helpful answering all our questions including times of buses and cost of tickets to Edinburgh. The room was great and the breakfast brought to our room was freshly made and the whole stay well worth the money. Hoping to stay again next year when we visit family. Thank you Alice

Really great service from Alice and Kevin. Our train up from London had been delayed massively due to issues which meant we arrived very late at night. They arranged to pick us up from the station. Really friendly and a good place to stay. Room was comfortable and breakfast delivered to the door.

The room and hosts are first rate. Personable and friendly reception. Added extras are the book with dining suggestions and an optional cooked breakfast, which though pricy is well worth the cost. …

We had a wonderful stay at Arden house. The room, a family room, was such a beautiful welcoming place. Our hosts, Alice & Kevin, are wonderful people, nothing was too much trouble. Being a few miles out of Edinburgh made it a much more restful visit.We would absolutely stay here again

Great breakfast and very close from shops.If you like to walk it’s 30 min to the train station or down the street for a bud ride.

My friends and I enjoyed a two night stay at this bed and breakfast House. It's in a great location with views over Musselburgh race/golf courses. It was very clean and comfortable. Kettle and TV in the room. And we used the dining room (overlooks the race course) for boardgames, cup of tea at night. Peaceful. Never heard any noise from inside or outside throughout the night.The landlady was very pleasant and could not have been more helpful. We will probably return in the future. And would most certainly recommend it.

Perfect stay. The most beautiful house I've every stayed in. Came the day after we got married and couldn't fault anything. Will be booking to come back. Room was perfect. Over looking the racecourse, in a perfect spot. Looked after really well by Alice. Made us feel special and nothing was too much trouble for her. Can't wait to come again. If your considering coming to musselburgh don't look elsewhere. You will be more thank happy. 🙂
