We really enjoyed our over night stay in a superior room. The hotel is lovely and the staff were very friendly. The room was spacious and had everything you would need. The only downside was the mattresses were brick hard and killed my back. Breakfast was good.

This is a great option for East Lothian. We’ve often stayed here when visiting family. At certain times it’s very inexpensive and always very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Superb value for money. Our room was spotlessly clean and serviced every day. It was great that our towels weren't replaced when we hung them up. I would highly recommend having an evening meal there as both of our choices were delicious. Great location - we went into Edinburgh three times and used the park and ride at Wallyford which is a 15 minute drive away. Stunning views from the restaurant. We shall definitely recommend The Lodge to anyone who wants to stay in the area.

Courteous and helpful staff. Particular mention for Josh who, amongst other helpful actions, provided Cullen Skink for my wife when it wasn't even on the menu! Very friendly staff all round, made us feel welcome.
