3-Star Hotels in East Lothian, United Kingdom

A short 1 night stay while visiting friends nearby. In short the location, service, & breakfast were all good, but the hotel building is need of some work. It's a lovely period property in the style that is expected with creaking floorboards, sash windows, and curious corridors leading to uniquely shaped rooms. The single room was compact and had been somewhat modernised, the bed was comfortable and clean, but sadly that didn't extend into the bathroom/shower-room that needed some work. Perhaps most noticably there are many simple things that would bring the room fully up to scratch such as sorting out the grouting in the bathroom, replacing the noisy extractor fan, removing mould from around the bathroom ceiling, replacing the dirty net curtain on the window, washing the carpet regularly & hoovering more carefully. Similarly with the front of the building, give all the painted areas a refresh, peeling paint is not a good first impression when parking the car. The full scottish breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. Hopefully if I do return on a visit next year the owners will have made some improvements to the building as it could be a lovely hotel with much higher review scores.

Let me talk about the advantages first. This inn is on the outskirts of Edinburgh, about 10 kilometers drive, and the location is good. Accommodation in Edinburgh is high and parking is difficult. Therefore, choosing to stay here is quite good; the other is that parking is very convenient, the hotel is in front of the parking lot, parking spaces are sufficient. 9 pounds a night, this parking fee level is simply cabbage price in the UK, very friendly for self-driving. The inn can see the idyllic scenery of the UK at the entrance of the inn, very beautiful. The disadvantage is that the price is not cheap, there is no elevator, although the floor is not high, there are 3 floors, but if there is a lot of luggage, it will take a little effort. The air conditioner in the room cannot be adjusted by itself and it is hot enough. There is nothing wrong with it.

The view from the only window comprised a rusty old tractor and a dark green container so there was no outlook over the nearby countryside and highland cows. The bed was really uncomfortable The cooker/hot plate did not work and displayed an error code in its digital display The room was clean but whatever fluid had been used to clean it left a sticky residue on all surfaces

Nice hotel, located near supermarket, local shops, pubs, the beach and harbour. The hotel has a beer garden and covered outdoor area as well as the bar and restaurant. On a wednesday all main course items are half price.

Clean and cosy room with old style key entrance. Big bathroom with a tub and shower and free snacks. Bed was a bit bouncy for me but I still slept well.
