Good for the price. Nice staff. Would not be my choice next time because of the noise that comes into the room.
Pros:

The staff were kind and helpful. The breakfast room was large and airy. Nice bar area to relax.

Cons:

The rooms are not soundproof at all. We heard every word spoken in the rooms beside us and were woken up several times with guests walking/talking in the corridor and doors opened and closed.

Pros:

Location. Room very comfortable.

Cons:

This is only a personal choice but there was no real ale on tap or bottled. Went to another establishment to spend the evening.
All breakfast items were not available at the same time. Had to wait for cooked food for around 20 minutes and some items did not arrive at all. Some guests took a lot more than they should and then not consumed. Although it was appreciated that the food was cooked fresh it would probably be better if orders were taken for the cooked breakfast to avoid guests taking more than they should as there was only a small amount that came out at the same time.

Pros:

Struttura bella e curata a mezz'ora di macchina da Edimburgo.
Personale cortese e disponibile.
Noi abbiamo cenato nel loro ristorante ed era molto buono.
La stanza era semplice, pulita e curata nei dettagli.
Molto buona anche la colazione, tipica scozzese e molto abbondante, servita a buffet.

Warm welcome on arrival and it was a good location on our last day in Scotland. Our flight was very early in the morning so the staff provided us with breakfast to take with us . The staff were very friendly . We stayed in one of the pods which it was nice .

Cons:

A fan would it have been a relieved as is was a bit stuffy in the pods.

Mid week business trip
Pros:

The food in the restaurant was fantastic.
The staff were very friendly without being over familiar.
Location managed to make a business trip feel like a seaside holiday.

Cons:

Not a dislike because i rarely eat breakfast, however if i was to criticise anything i'd say breakfast starts too late, probably more pertinent to people on business rather than holidaymakers.

Pros:

Die Lage war sehr gut

Cons:

1 Serviceangestelkte am Abend war nicht gut
Glas vergessen zum Getränk, wollte es gleich bringen. Nach 10 min war sie am "Quatschen"

Zimmer zuwenig sauber. Habe das Bett verschoben damit ich an den Lichtschalter kam, hinter dem Bett wurde seit längerem nichts gereinigt

Pros:

Fantastic room as I stayed in the honeymoon suite.

It wasn't as clean as you would expect. Dust on skirting boards and on top of plug sockets.
