Prachtig verblijf in een cosy Schotse sfeer. Prima slaapkamer met ontbijt.
Pros:

Ontbijt was erg goed, personeel over het algemeen vriendelijk (de een wat meer/ minder dan de ander). Bij aankomst was het erg druk in de Inn en onze kamer was nog niet klaar, toen was men wat minder gastvrij. Maar bij het ontbijt was men erg vriendelijk. Eten was goed voor een prima prijs.

Cons:

Het welkom bij aankomst vond ik ietsje tegenvallen, maar het was toen ook erg druk in de Inn. Het was echter ons eerste verblijf in Schotland en dat viel beetje tegen.

Weinig of geen nachtrust
Pros:

avondmaal was best ok

Cons:

Onvoldoende nachtrust door overvloedig lawaai.
Lawaai van de buren, buitenaf leek het alsof een autorace aan de gang was.
Het lawaai heeft geduurd tot 01hr30.

Loved it!
Pros:

Large spacious room. Large bathroom and shower. Excellent restaurant!! with nice large outdoor eating area! Friendly staff. Great view. Lots of parking. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again!

Cons:

Getting to it is a little tricky if you are driving but it's nothing that can be helped. It has existed since the 1600s and the area has changed a bit.

A great alternative to a boring airport hotel with a view on the historic Forth rail bridge
Pros:

A great location that can be a reasonable alternative to an airport hotel when you have an early flight the next day with a rental car return but would prefer to stay somewhere a little more interesting. We took one of the rooms with a view on the Forth rail bridge to make a nice end to our trip. The room was basic but comfortable and it was great to have the view of this historic bridge. The evening food and drink was decent and I appreciated having a good beer in a pint glass with a handle. (It is worth noting that the rumble of the passing trains is fairly regular, which given we were there for that view was fine, and frankly it's muted and not particularly disturbing anyway, but it's important to be aware of).

Cons:

The bathroom was good and modern, but the ceiling is quite low, and the shower cubicle is raised up, presumably to allow room for the drainage pipes under the shower base. My wife could just about stand upright in the shower, but I had to stand with a stoop, which I wasn't particularly bothered about for one night, but some other travellers of taller stature could find this to be awkward.

Zimmer mit Blick buchen, dann super.
Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage, Zimmer recht modern eingerichtet.

Cons:

WLAN mehr schlecht als recht. Manche Zimmer sind im Keller mit Mini-Fenster, vor dem auch noch die Bierfässer gestapelt werden - geht gar nicht.

Not worth the money
Pros:

Room was large and the lady serving breakfast was very cheery( she could have done with some help because she was on her own. )

Cons:

Room dark, dismal and exceptionally warm, only one small window with only partial opening. Window looked onto store area for beer kegs.
Very noisy, was woken by delivery drivers, plumbing very noisy and you could hear when guest in room above flushed their toilet.
Poor lighting, only one bedside light working, the other one covered in duct tape to hold it on.
Toilet seat cover doesn't stay up due to Toilet flush button and no bath mat( you had to ask for one at reception)
Room was down below street level and out of the hotel, very shabby and paint flaked off round door. Experienced the worst 2 nights sleep we've had for a long time.
Not worth the price and beware breakfast isn't included.
Non existent Internet and phone signal in the room. Only access to Internet for us in restaurant.

Domir bajo un puente…

La localización y la habitación con vistas al puente.

Cons:

No tienen servicios de hotel. No hay una recepción, ni un lugar dónde dejar el equipaje antes o después de ocupar la habitación. No llamaron a un taxi. Es un restaurante con servicio de habitaciones.
