Amazing, small but well maintained Victorian building/lodge in a pleasant area, 10/15min drive from the city. Lots of buses to get in and out of the city in front of the lodge & reasonably cheap Uber/taxi ride. Friendly and helpful staff but be aware there’s no lift being an old building, but extremely lovely and helpful staff to help you with the luggage, just ask.. We stayed at the very top (so not suitable if you’re tall), well designed, clean, great fluffy linen/bed to come to, from all days walk around Edinburgh! Highly recommended. Thank you xo

Liked: Cleanliness

The room was much smaller than pictures indicated, bathroom with walk in shower nice we were meant to have a bottle of wine on arrival but it only arrived on day three when I asked about it the previous evening. Tea and coffee facilities ok but 1 hot choc between 2 and one pack of biscuits(check in after 3pm ) only 4 small milks and not fully refreshed daily but 2 small waters were given daily. .We bought milk but nowhere to store as room very warm although radiator off . We did not have breakfast there as we like to try local places for brunch ,Southpour was good . The property was ok but not what id call 4 stars as their sign indicates. Expensive for room only 30ins walk from central Edinburgh.

What a great find!

Excellent room, friendly and very attentive staff. We stayed for a long weekend with the kids and what an excellent find this was, the room was clean, very large and within a stones throw of Edinburgh city centre via regularly running buses which stopped right outside the hotel.

Not bad, but not good.

Room was merely OK. Staff was friendly and location was good were the highlights. Pillows were flat, bed was stiff. Breakfast was average. Would be prettier in the spring/summer as the garden outside area was mostly dead in late November.

Nice place! Old Victorian that they have done a good job with. Parking was small but no problem. No restaurants close so be prepared. The shower was the only short coming. Otherwise great experience! Staff was outstanding!
