Great option for early flights

Hotel is lovely. Large room. Free parking. Restaurant on site. Perfect for an overnight before an early flight out of Edinburgh Airport. It is less than 7 miles away.

Nice building and setting but needs investment

Lovely tower house, nice setting and convenient location. I stay with work but the usual problems with Macdonald hotels - lack of investment, the place is quite run down. This time my room was also not very clean, floor was filthy - even found a pair of tweezers which were in the middle of the floor and looked to have been there a while! Staff are always helpful and doing their best.

Anniversary stay

at check in it was ok receptionist was friendly & polite, Had to walk outside to the annex for our room in which i was not aware when booked. Bar for drinks is very expensive and bar maid kept disappearing, Strong smell of cannabis at reception & bar area in the evening which was not very nice and staff were not interested. Restaurant was like a morgue food was not nice very over priced waited a long time for food to arrive, staff were not helpful had to keep asking .Breakfast was disappointing again had to keep asking, When checking out did not get asked if our stay was ok. Overall the hotel is very tired and NO i would not come back again

Disappointing stay

Very disappointed to say this is Supposed to be a 4 star hotel. The "spa" facilities are very poor, no whirlpool/jacuzzi, steam room was out of order and sauna was packed full of gym lads. Changing rooms were also crowded and unclean. We had no towels on arrival and had to ask 4 times! At reception before finally getting some. Bathroom was not cleaned at all during our stay, would have been nice for cleaners to at least give the sink and toilet a quick clean.
