Excellent hotel in a beautiful location.
Pros:

Helpful staff, comfortable well equipped rooms, excellent breakfast options & good portions. The hotel is well suited to explore Penicuik & the surrounding areas.

Cons:

The bar shut quite early, which was different from what was in the hotel information. We were staying for a wedding & we're looking forward to a night cap at the hotel once the wedding finished (10.00 pm). We were back at the hotel by 11.00.

Very enjoyable
Pros:

It is set in lovely surroundings with the beautiful Pentland Hills in full view. It was my late partner’s hometown and from the first time he took me there, I fell in love with Penicuik. I always stay at the Craigie as it is comfortable, perfect location and plenty of parking.

Cons:

As always, the price could be a bit lower as it is such a small town

Always like to stay in this hotel. Good location and can have a few drinks and not have to drive.
Pros:

We stay at this hotel a couple of times a year when we visit old friends in Penicuik. The full Scottish breakfast is second to none, just brilliant.

Cons:

Nothing.

Spotless, Comfortable and Excellent Value
Pros:

Ordering breakfast a la carte for free was a highlight for us and we enjoyed it very much - turns out to be so much more comfortable than buffets. Staff very attentive and the cleanliness was spotless. Within 45min from Edinburgh Central Bus Station which was a plus for our stay during the peak season of the Fringe Festival. Very quiet location and wonderful, comfortable beds. Having a bath tub was a plus and we loved the shampoos and soaps provided (luxurious).

Cons:

It was great and amazing value for money.

Pros:

Hermoso lugar para distenderse luego de un día agitado, en una zona tranquila. A unos 40 mins del centro de Edimburgo en bus, que pasa a solo metros del hotel y con muy bien servicio. Encantador estilo interior en el hotel. Muy limpio y cómodo. La atención de todos fue impecable. Muy recomendable :)

Cons:

Sólo, para algunos huéspedes, puede ser útil que sepan que tiene 1ro y 2do piso sin ascensor. No fue un problema para nosotros, pero es para considerar en algunos casos especiales.
