6/10 Good

Cute place

Really nice location if you are looking for a place to stay around Edinburgh and parking was a plus. The rooms were clean and cute, however the water in the shower was nowhere warm enough and during the first night there was a lot of noise coming from the adjacent room (every time someone opened the door next to our room it felt like they were coming into our room instead which made it difficult to sleep) although all ok the other nights

Pub with rooms.

Spacious room, good shower. Very busy pub and when we arrived it was clear they were short staffed. Bit noisy but didn’t go on too late. Breakfast is only available at the weekends, there was some confusion as I had an email telling me there was no breakfast service. I had emailed back but didn't get a reply. Having said that breakfast was good and the man serving was really friendly and helpful. The bus stop right outside is great if you want to go into Edinburgh (stop is on Princes Street.

Room was a bit cold but it was very spacious with a large and comfortable bed. Unfortunately, no breakfast on weekdays. Dinner was good and not overpriced.
