Plenty of parking, on a bus route in to Edinburgh. Very reasonable for the facilities we had. A basic room but everything we needed for an overnight stay after watching a sports event. Staff were lovely, good atmosphere in the pub. We would stay again

Our stay here was comfortable. The room was clean, if dated some. Free parking was a plus and the dining was very good. Although attached to a pub, it was not noisy at all. Our only complaint with out stay here was that the bed was way too soft. Overall a very good experience.

Good accommodation at a fair price.
Fairly basic accommodation which more than anything is value for money. It is a bit dated but then it is a pub after all and never likely to compete against the big boys. Clean, comfortable and helpful staff.

Bar area was really nice. Staff were great. Area was inviting and nice. Good parking, excellent out door area. Food was lovely. Bathroom needs to be updated, cracked tiles, shower area needs resealing. Nothing major just small bits. We would go back.

My Mum and I have stayed here on a number of occasions when flying from the airport. The bar and restaurant are so cosy and homely, the food is excellent and the staff are fabulous 😊 George in particular is a credit to the team he is helpful & witty whilst remaining professional. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We stayed over before an early morning flight out of Edinburgh. A nice little surprise of an Inn. We had dinner in the Pub, great Scottish food and the service all around was great. Rachel was a great host and made us feel very welcomed. The room was great and very comfortable.

Great little inn with a really fun and delicious local pub attached. Location is a little bit difficult to get Ubers and is about a 10-15 min drive from airport and 25-30 min drive from Edinburgh city center but the staff helped us arrange a taxi for the airport to guarantee pickup. It was a great budget hotel for us to stay in before our flight back home.

Lovely!
Comfy bed and very friendly staff. Perfect location to just jump on the bus to get into Edinburgh. Let us leave our car day of check out so we could use the bus again. Would recommend and use again next time we are up in Edinburgh.

This is a pub with an inn so check-in means waiting for the bar attendant to have time to check you in. Room is very basic. It was quiet and comfortable.

Like warm check on. Room was nice, looked newly updated but the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on - very lumpy mattress. Bathroom fine but needing updating Food was good in the evening. Didn’t get breakfast as didn’t start serving until 8am! No use for weekday business stays

Disappointing
Bar/restaurant side was lovely but the room let the place down. Stayed in room number 3. Think it could do with better cleaning practices. Room could do with an upgrade. Lots of dust and stains on cushions. Wallpaper coming off the wall. Mattress is by its best very squeeky and springy. Tv is tiny can hardly see it from the bed. Can hear people in other room easily. I know its a cheap room but the basics would make this alot better. Was due to stay again in october but have cancelled.
