Great stay in East Lothian
Posted 18 Sep 2024 on HotelsThe food in the restaurant was superb and had a wide variety of choices that worked for us (vegetarian). The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. Staff was friendly. We had a room that had a private bathroom (not en-suite) that needed a bit of work. Only down-side was there were no towels when we arrived. We asked, but none appeared. Evening staff was very busy in the bar that was packed and I think they were short staffed, so somewhat understandable.

Besides a dirty pillow and dirty coffee/tea pots it was a nice stay. Very quiet and cozy. I like the decor but not a separate bathroom. Turns out only one room has a bathroom outside of the room.

The room cost £90 for b&b which was adjacent to the actual pub area. It was advertised with a private bathroom which is a bit misleading as it was not en-suite but over a corridor and up a stair which isn’t ideal. The room was small but very clean and well appointed except for TV which didn’t work.
The food had great reviews but was really disappointing. Ordered nachos to start and share. Salsa, guacamole, sour cream all obviously out of jars etc. and prefabricated. Had cod which was overcooked and a Cajun burger which was ok but served with the obligatory frozen chips. Choose Italian red wine at £29 which was fine but actually retails around less than £9. Leave others to decide if that’s value for money? When bill came tried to charge for 2 portions of nachos which was ridiculous. This was removed when spoke with the Manager. When I pre booked dinner expected to be served in restaurant but on arrival was informed we would have to eat in the bar as there was a private function. Nobody advised of this prior to our arrival. Staff did apologise which was more than be said for manager who was less than impressive.
In fairness all the other staff we had dealings with were helpful, courteous, pleasant and friendly.
Made an effort to stay at this hotel on our way home from elsewhere due to food reviews etc. Unfortunately didn’t live up to the hype and was in the main very disappointing. Would not recommend and most certainly not value for money in my opinion.

A great stay despite the stairs, room was spacious and a large bathroom with a great walk-in shower
The bed was the best sleep I’ve had on ages

This is a property with very friendly staff who offer a warm welcome. The room we booked was rather small - not much room to get around the bed and very hot and stuffy on a warm night, with road noise if the window was open and no fan to cool it if the window was closed. The biggest issue was that it was not ensuite so worth checking what you are booking. My booking said "private bathroom" which turned out to be across the hall and up some steps and I wouldn't have booked the room had I realised that. I'm told there is just the one room that isn't ensuite so just be careful when you choose. Not the best night's rest because of the heat, but likely just this one room as it was so small. Can't fault the people though - very friendly.
