The food at dinner was average, our prawn tikka starter was cold when served. Didn’t feel the food was good value. Enjoyed the food and portion sizes

Staff were excellent, very friendly and attentive especially staff at breakfast. Breakfast was outstanding and the hotel itself felt welcoming

Nothing.

Professional, friendly staff on reception, bar and in dining room. Hotel is set in beautiful grounds which we enjoyed exploring. Good sized pool. Gym and spa facilities available which we didn't use on this occasion. The Vaulted Bar is lovely for pre-dinner drinks. The sweets in the reception area are addictive! We didn't have a dog but this is probably the most pet friendly hotel I've seen with a dedicated treat table for dogs.

No hot tub or jacuzzi in the pool area.

Lovely breakfast on the morning of the checkout. We had spa treatments booked for the day of arrival and used the facilities. The massages were excellent. Dinner in the Vaulted bar was lovely.

The quality of the food and realistic pricing of the meals ( breakfast and evening meal) could be improved

Needed to ask for a bathrobe as it hadn’t been placed in the room, despite it being part of the booking deal. Sorted quickly though. Service really slow at breakfast, most staff were friendly and helpful though.

Beautiful room with lovely views. Reception staff and leisure staff really welcoming and friendly.

Parts of the building exterior looked a bit tired, but it is an historic building. Our bedroom was functional but could be brightened up to make it more inviting, as could the paint work around the bath and the window. The breakfast's were a bit chaotic and a bit of staff training would assist in reducing this.

Hotel set in beautiful surroundings in a great location. Pool with full spa facilities. Very informative and friendly staff. Vault bar with outdoor table option, in good weather. Staff all very friendly. Easy access to Edinburgh.

Nothing really all was acceptable. A little pricy this time of year but that is supply and demand in the Edinburgh area this time of year.

Nice hotel and in a good location for the visits I was making. Gets a little expensive this time of year but that's supply and demand. Rooms are a good size, a little tired but fine. Breakfast was again was fine.

Ridiculously expensive on breakfast, and general food (we had diner in the pub/lounge, not the restaurant).

Nice beds, large bathroom, quiet, lovely park

Communal areas seemed very dated. The Reception area had a musty smell as if the carpets hadn’t been cleaned in a long while. The bar area couches were very worn. The breakfast rooms looked very dated too. In general these areas could do with updating.

Room was lovely, clean & spacious. The breakfast was ok. Nice grounds & plenty of car parking spaces.

The location

Stayed in July 2025

The interior was showing some signs of wear and tear but this did not cause me to dislike the property.

Stunning property in beautiful grounds. Delightful staff, so welcoming, polite and helpful. I had an early start and a taxi was arranged for me which was great. Lovely room. Great pool.

Look at bit tired round edges. Opened window in our room due to the hot weather and the wood was quite rotten around about it.

Beautiful hotel in lovely grounds. Was a brief overnight stay for an event outwith the hotel. Hotel room was large and comfortable. Lovely quiet bar and nook for food and drink. Parking on site away from main road. Staff very friendly and helpful. Jug in rooms to be filled with water from fountain in corridors. Excellent idea! Tea and coffe making facililties in room.
