The room was extremely spacious, we will certainly stay here again. This was a fairly nice stay out of town. We loved pastries, eggs, bacon, fresh bread, and fruit the hotel served in the morning.

We were given a deluxe queen room with a really big comfortable bed, a free safe, for example. The location of the property was comfortable, to an isolated loch somewhere in the highlands. The staff was friendly efficient and wonderfully helpful and around most of the time.

The hotel had a central location in the centre of Edinburgh & a less than half a hour walk. Plus, a chill cafe was within easy walking distance of the venue. I was there for 2 nights and ate at in-house restaurant with good food.
