The Hotel was well situated and the parking was good. The breakfast and Evening Meals were really good and plentiful. The room we had was adequate, but could do with an upgrade. The staff and owner were really friendly and made us feel welcome!

Very,very run down property in need of investment to bring it up to adequate standards. The location is great though. We left after one day even if we paid for two, as everything looked so unappealing and dirty in the room, with very bad mattresses that we could hardly sleep, put aside the shriek of seagulls waking you at 04:30 as the window is open to provide basic ventilation tomremove the mold smell. Sad because the location is great and we believe the landlords do their best -although we never heard from them.

One night stsy
Posted 23 Jun 2024 on HotelsNice staff.
However the hotel could do with some upgrades on the rooms.
Bathroom is run down and looks like no refurbishment or painting has taken place for a long time.
Could do with a paint job and replace all units.
Walls are very thin. Could hear everything going on next room, even conversations.

Two night stay June 2024
Posted 22 Jun 2024 on HotelsFriendly, helpful staff. Hotel well utilised by locals. Decor could be refreshed. Cleaning staff do a great job. Food good. Beds in the twin room could be more comfortable, even mattress toppers could help. Would stay again.

Dining staff were helpful and breakfast was good. Parking on site. Room was big, beds comfy but decor poor. Bathroom was dirty and plenty of black mould, shower pathetic.Bathroom needs a refurb. Band playing saturday night so couldnt sleep until after 11pm. Had we known we wouldnt have booked. Breakfast on expedia at 8am but hotel 9am,wasted an hour.Compares poorlly with similar across 2 months of travel.

Lovely stay at the Sands
Posted 9 Jun 2024 on HotelsWhat an absolute hidden gem! We stayed as a family of 4 travelling up to Scotland for the Taylor Swift concert and chose to stay outside of Edinburgh and so pleased we did! Wished we had more time to relax and enjoy the gorgeous location of the Sands but we were given a lovely warm welcome and lots of help in navigating our way to the stadium. Had amazing lunch and the breakfast the following morning was beautiful! Highly recommend this hotel.
