Xmas Market Trip
Excellent stay all in all. We was planning to attend the Edinburgh Xmas markets but didn’t want to stay in the hustle and bustle of the city center. We wanted a hotel with a pool so this hotel fit the bill exactly! It’s about 45 minute (very scenic) drive from Edinburgh and better still there’s a bus literally on the doorstop to the city center. We checked in at approx 10pm and found the hotel and its staff to be warm and inviting. The room was very spacious with all the amenities you’d expect (coffee/tea equipment, iron, ironing board, hair drier) and even a branded luxury was kit included! The bathroom was spacious with hot water and good water pressure. The main king size bed was very comfortable and the bedding pristine and warm. Our daughter’s sofa type bed was less comfortable and the mattress was a bit thin and flimsy but she said it was ok to sleep on. We had the full English breakfast which was cooked to perfection but wasn’t the biggest breakfast. I’d have liked hash brown, beans and more mushrooms but couldn’t knock the quality. We used the pool which was lovely (but a little cold) the steam room and hot rock sauna were fantastic. Better still they allow children over 8 into the saunas which my daughter loved. Areas of the hotel are a little tired and need a bit of a touch up but all in all a very nice stay. Thanks to the staff who were very helpful and made it a really pleasant stay.

Was all fine, apart from the room being very cold and the heater didn't seem to do anything even when turned up, the towel rail also didn't want to work and when you tried to turn it on the knob came away exposing wires. Otherwise was a nice place to stay for the price.

Hotel was nice and staff in the restaurant and check in at reception were great. Food and facilities were great but there no heat in our room. We managed to change room and the next room the heater also did not work. Reception were not helpful after this and did not offer any other solution or a portable heater so was a cold overnight sleep. We had to sleep with jumpers on.

Facilities were good.... Accommodation was fine..... Plenty of staff around, but all seemed to be doing their own job, not working together. Food good, but long time between courses. Disagree with 10% added service charge and cashless payments only.

The overall feel of the hotel is quite dated but for the price we paid it was good value. The staff at reception were very welcoming and efficient. The room was huge, loads of space for family of 4 and it was clean and comfortable. We used the swimming pool which was a good facility, the whole pool is 1.2m deep, slightly too deep for small kids but we made do. Next was dinner, most importantly the food was pretty good and we enjoyed the meal. Service was organised but perhaps a bit rushed at times and I have to admit I did a double take at the bill, while happy with the meal we felt the prices are high for what you get. We got a good nights sleep, all the beds were comfortable and breakfast the next morning was also good, plenty of choice between continental and cooked options. The hotel is in lovely scenery with plenty of options for walking, cycling, museums etc nearby. Overall felt the bed and breakfast rate was excellent value but this was offset by the cost of the evening meal!
