Stayed for two nights on a room-only basis. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the basic amenities needed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant, but the food looked and smelled delicious. Would definitely stay again.

Room dated but very clean
Good quality bedding and towels
Clean and compact room offers good value for money. Staff are welcoming, and the pub offers excellent meals.
The location is not too far from Edinburgh Airport and a pleasant 25-30 minute walk to my meeting at Heriot-Watt University. It's also on the #44 busline for access to Edinburgh, and only a 15 minute walk from a train station where I could catch a local train to Glasgow.

We had dinner in the lounge bar and it was fabulous.
The accommodation is basic, but the room was clean, the bed was comfy and there was plenty of storage for clothes. The price was excellent value.
Food reasonably priced with good options, good variety of drinks available at the bar. Friendly welcoming staff. Comfortable room with tea, coffee and biscuits
The food at the pub was excellent and the staff was very helpful. Although it was just an overnight stay, it was still comfortable and close to the airport.
