Very much enjoyed the roasts, all were nicely prepared and tasty. However, we paid for the extra plate and were disappointed with the amount we received. If that was extra, we hate to see what the regular would be!The vegetables we found were all cold.We ordered a pint of Stewart's 80% which tasted stale. It was replaced by a pint of Belhaven Best which was good.Friendly staff but we felt the overall experience was very average.

We could not have asked for a better hotel right before flying out of Edinburgh. This place was a 15-min bus ride from the airport and the airport bus passes by every 10 minutes (only £5, too!). The dinner options were great even for our two toddlers. Beer tap options were also on point.They let us check our luggage since we arrived before check-in. This gave us ample, unburdened time to walk to the zoo.

Lovely stay just outside of Edinburgh for RARE24 book event. Good sized well kept room and quiet enough even though situated on main road (my room was roadside too). Good security for hotel entry. Breakfast buffet style full English which for price was fine plus bread and toaster but not so good if have fussy eaters. Staff all lovely and polite, very welcoming. Bus stop just outside for easy access into Edinburgh centre and about 5 mins down Rd from Edinburgh zoo. Will def be checking out for future visit

What a great place and the food was great, £12-99 for a carvery and desert. Had the carvery, all meats, and the crumble, (the size of a sandy beach) perfect. A member of staff gave great service to an elderly customer with slight mobility issues. Accompanied her whilst she made her choices and helped her back to her table with her chosen meal. Well done. I'll be back

The meat was the only thing edibleThe tongs and spoons were literally burning our hands trying to get any vegetablesThe veg was disgusting was all watery even the cauliflower and cheese, the macaroni was not good and the Yorkshire pudding the bottom left your mouth full of oil. The gravy was just water, first and last visit

We had a bit of a problem with our rental car and Angela (amongst others) really helped me to get a replacement. We had a lovely stay, good dinner. Location was good but a bit far from city center. Though with the bus for only 2 pounds per person we got there easily. I recommend to stay here for your trip to Edinburgh

We didn’t stay in the hotel, but were lucky enough to discover this little gem. The first time we went, they ran out of food, but fortunately for us, we went back the next night, and experienced the buffet. Think Old Country Buffet meets Bob Evan’s, but higher quality. I especially enjoyed the giant puffy buns. Great value! Thanks, Dom, for your service!

All you can eat breakfast - great value, visited twice. Mushrooms and hash browns not available on first visit, by available on second. Amazing melt in your mouth your shires.Also tried Sunday carvery. Being a weekend, lamb available. Everything nicely cooked with amazing Yorkshires.Staff generally pleasant, with one exception who was keen to see "if we wanted the bill" - was this a thinly veiled hint?We did not stay in the hotel part.
