The welcome was very friendly and professional and the room was beautifully appointed. We had been upgraded to a superking room and the bed was extremely comfortable. Lovely hot shower and windows that open was a bonus.  …

Very cute, we left our bags before our room was ready so we could go into town. When we got back they had already put our bags in our room. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Would definitely go back.

My wife and I dined here this evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We've eaten here on many occasions, so probably time for a review.The food was excellent, the roast chicken supreme being a standout. Service, as always, was top notch and the drinks complemented our meal nicely.Highly recommended.

Just the most amazing accommodation . Beautifully appointed and beds were so comfy . Loved the fact that we could just come and go and felt just so welcome by all the staff who were working there. Good old fashioned Scottish hospitality at its best . Would highly recommend and look forward to staying there again .

Nice room, a little bit noisy with restaurant and kitchen on the same floor but the staff were lovely and very helpful. Very clean room. |Unfortunately no parking but there was a free car park down the road that always had spaces. Amazing pizza place next door which was well priced.

A complete cesspit. ||||At least 30 flies in the room and it was hard to count as they were flying around everywhere and crawling in the windows. ||||Extra disgusting as the room was opposite- 2 steps away - from the kitchen. …

Wonderful stay at the Balerno Inn. It is very close to the airport. Ben met us at the door and carried our bags to our room for us. The room was very clean and spacious. The staff and food were lovely as well. I would definitely stay again.
