Arrived and the lady at the reception was very nice easy to talk to I didn’t catch her name. The room was a nice temperature, tv a decent size, shower was brilliant but the bed wasn’t comfy at all could feel the springs and my bed was lopsided it had a dip to it on the left side of the bed also only got 3 slim pillows between 2 people didn’t feel like enough. Door handle broke on the bathroom after using it twice it had been damaged by someone else who stayed recently. Also there was quite a bit of mould around the bathroom window.

We were looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay near Edinburgh, but unfortunately, this accommodation didn’t meet those expectations. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable I’ve ever tried to sleep on- uneven with no support, and if you shifted around too much, you’d hit the hard base underneath (ouch!). The bathroom door handle also came straight off just from opening it and the electric kettle looked like it was never cleaned. The biggest issue was the noise: there was live music until midnight (on Fridays), and our room was directly above and near the entrance, making it extremely loud. On a positive note, the town itself was charming, and the beach was easily accessible. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for a good night’s sleep, as it seems to be the town’s nightlife hub.

Fine for a night

Check in at the bar as no reception. Bedroom was clean and adequate. Bed and pillows not that comfy (both soft) but accept that’s personal choice. TV bit on the small side but had plenty of channels. Shower was very good (though no shampoo). We had dinner and breakfast and have to say that both were excellent, good range of choice and good quality. Staff were lovely.

We arrived well after their last. Check in time of 10pm, which we weren't aware of(our fault for not reading the fine print). We were able to contact one of the principles of the inn and he immediately sent someone from home down to accomodate us. We were very grateful as we had just flown to London and drove 7 hours to Edinburgh and were exhausted. Sincere thanks and keep up the great work

Room decor is good and new, shower excellent. Breakfast cooked fresh and service great. Evening meal was ok, again service good. Areas to improve, mattresses, felt very well used, lumpy as were pillows, did not match room standard. Room cleanliness needs some work, cobwebs, eyelash on floor, bed not made when out of room. Live music Friday and Saturday night quite loud in room as was post clean up staff voices till well after midnight.

The kettle did not switch off, so we risked burns every time we used it. The bathroom door handle did not work and one of the towels was covered with stains. There was no room cleaning during our stay. Be aware you can hear bar noise from the rooms. Not such an issue during the week when the bar closes at 10pm. On the positive side, car parking was easy and there were bus stops to Edinburgh right outside. The breakfast was also well cooked. Felt overpriced.

The property, service and cleanliness were excellent even though they were under staffed it did not affect the service. It was surrounded by commercial businesses which would have put us off booking had we known however, it did spoil our stay it just didn't make for scenic breakfasts. I cannot stress enough how amazing the staff were.

Bad luck continuing???

We checked in then weather warning were sent to our phones then we were advised shopping centres around were closing so we made the decision to go home, so although the room looked nice and the bathroom very nice, we didn’t actually stay at the hotel. We had food in the restaurant before we left and it was nice enough
