"We just completed a trip in Scotland and this was by far our favourite hotel that we stayed in! All of the services and amenities were perfect and we enjoyed the area it was in. It was just a short drive into a Edinburgh. The beds were comfortable, the restaurant/bar downstairs was fun to be at in the evenings and we enjoyed breakfast in the morning. We also really enjoyed having a coffee maker in the room which we quickly realized at other hotels is not common."
