Ambience and staff. Very good

No breakfast before 07:00. We had an early flight and went for breakfast and were sadly turned away. Disappointing.

Quality time at a quality place
Pros:

Het is een mooie rustige locatie van alle gemakken voorzien.
Uitstekend personeel, zeer goede bedden, goed restaurant met top eten en drinken. Veel persoonlijke aandacht.
Hou je van golf? Dan is dit de plek om te verblijven. Het terrein, eigenlijk een landgoed, is vrij groot en omvat een volwaardig golfcircuit, een spa, en fitnessruimte.

Onze ruime kamer was voorzien van een kingsize bed. Uiteraard een doucheruimte (waterdruk was geweldig), televisie en een klein koelkastje. Alles was schoon, netjes en zag er goed verzorgt uit.

Cons:

Niets te klagen

We absolutely loved our stay at The Dalmahoy!
Pros:

The property was absolutely beautiful! The bed was very comfortable and the hotel was very well kept. We enjoyed learning about the history of the property. The location was peaceful and a quick walk to the bus stop to take us into Edinburgh. The food was good at The Pentland and the bar.

Cons:

It was a bit confusing at first to find our way through the hotel since there are half floors, but we got the hang of it fairly quickly.

Pros:

Beautiful grounds outside the city

Cons:

Unfortunately I was hospitalised with a serious infection whilst on oncology during my stay. This meant being in hospital and ill for most of the second week of our trip and was advised by medical professionals to extend our stay . Despite this being our second stay and a 9 night booking, the hotel were unwilling to accommodate us for an extra night without a ridiculous rate of nearly £400 for the night. Despite our circumstances and immediate need, they could have given us a similar room for a reasonable price and took a lot of additional stress and need to move hotels out of the situation. They were 99% occupied at the time and the rate should not have been an issue on that basis given our repeated custom. To say this was disappointing when we needed them most is an understatement and an indication of the values of this hotel. We unfortunately had to move which was an unneeded stress on my body and as a result of this action we will not be returning. A call from customer services or email was offered on checkout - I am still waiting. Says it all.
