We only stayed a short time due to our tight schedule, but we loved every second we did spend here! The property is gorgeous and the hotel is located in such a quiet area with no traffic. It's great for when you want to be close to Edinburgh without being right in downtown. Perfect escape from the city!

Staff is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is nice and quiet and the breakfast is good. Parking is easy but the hotel is also right on the Tweed Cycle route which makes it easily accessible by bike also. We really enjoyed our stay.
