I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The rooms were super spacious - something you won’t find in downtown! Honestly, if we were to do Edinburgh again, we would stay here and just drive to the city. The restaurant was amazing and the decor is just so luxurious!
The most amazing Caesar salad and sticky toffee pudding!
Beautiful decor - makes you feel like you’re in a very special place!
Bedroom does not come with a hairy coo (that’s mine) but it is hairy coo approved!

We had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was spacious, well-equipped, and maintained to the highest standard of cleanliness. We experienced a minor issue during the night, but it was quickly and professionally resolved by the wonderful reception staff the following morning. Their professionalism and courteous manner was truly commendable and a real testament to the hotel.
