Can't beat the atmosphere of living in a castle for a while. The shared spaces are amazing, gardens are nice to wonder around and parking is secure and easy to access. Restaurant is nice, but offers a relatively limited menu selection. Staff all excellent.
Located in Musselburgh, within 1.9 km of Portobello Beach and 8.7 km of Edinburgh Playhouse, The Ship Inn provides accommodation with a shared lounge and a bar, and free WiFi.

Great location - specifically for the horse racing at Musselbrough. Not too far to get to Leith (for Britannia) and to Edinburgh
On Princes Street, opposite the Scott Monument and National Gallery, Mercure Edinburgh City - Princes Street Hotel has an excellent location, a friendly atmosphere and views of Edinburgh Castle.

Just very disappointing, nice looking pictures online but the reality is far removed. Probably ok for 4 lads looking for a place to crash and go into the city but the slightly more discerning amongst you will find this second floor property, complete with ghetto style entrance and stairways rather lacking.

Only ever gone for the horse racing but already looking at a long weekend here as it is only a short hop into Edinburgh and not too far from North Berwick, so good central point.
I still need to see more of the old historic Musselburgh too.

I was born in Musselburgh and come to visit family. However we do activities while here. Musselburgh is a typical Scottish town with the road going through the centre of shops. Like many towns a lot are closed. It is pleasant with the river running through and many places to walk. It is close to the beach which is relatively clean. It is a good based to get into Edinburgh and a bus service which means you don't have to take the car. On the other side is the coast road which takes you to some lovely places. Alao a bit of history there.

The town seems a little run down in places but the racecourse and the harbour looked good. Train links to Edinburgh and the east coast. Close to A1 motorway and Edinburgh bypass. Has a good selection of supermarkets quite close together, Aldi, Lidl, Tesco and an Asda just off A1 motorway. Navigation around town fairly easy and driving through also.

Needed transport into Edinburgh.
Needed transport into Edinburgh. Had to ask reception about this although had looked online before hand but obviously not familiar with the area.
Nothing available about this in a folder.
One of the receptionist was new and didn’t know the answer but another did.
Musselburgh was ok on day we visited but just a small town.
Nice walk along The Forth of Firth to Joppa and Porto where you could get a drink/cake or an ice cream.

Gorgeous historical building and grounds.
You can get a bit lost around all the stairs, so be sure to ask for a ground or first floor room if you have needs and/ or like access to outside more.
Room and bathroom was a little too hot and small but better than cold I guess! Just felt a tad claustrophobic in single wee room that was located through quite a lot of passage ways - good for some people but not for others. Just be sure to speak to the hotel about room needs. There was some sort of fan or something going on through the night, not sure if outside or other room.
Hotel was a wonderland and staff are fantastic, kind and courteous.
Due to the things I mention above I feel it was a little over priced. But I guess your paying for the up keep of such a beautiful historical building and its staff.
Everything. I try to stay here when I can. Staff so cheery and friendly and helpful. Great bar and food. I know prices vary and can sometimes get an even better rate if leaving till last minute but you take your chance on that. I was more than happy with rate I got and wasn't missing staying here on my visit to Musselburgh. Great laid out smoking area with sandy bins inside and outside the smoking area. Such a sociable place to stay.
The hotel is beautiful, full of history with many interesting rooms to explore. We loved chilling in the library and music room, and also indulged in a delicious cream tea in the drawing room. Our room was spacious with a very comfy bed.
The grounds were peaceful and relaxing, especially the rose garden. We spotted lots of bunnies and some deer. Dinner in the bistro was good, although the wine list could have been better.
It was a great opportunity to stay in a renovated castle, with the use of two floors & the roof top which had excellent views over Edinburgh & Blackness Bay.
The 7ft bed was really comfy & basically we had everything we needed including loads of breakfast & lots of hot water for a relaxing bath after a long day.
Our hosts Iain & Sue were also lovely and made us feel very welcome indeed.
hotel was very good value for money, exceeded expectations,good sized room with tea/coffee very clean well decorated housekeeping staff warm /friendly, nothing too much trouble for them overall an excellent hotel well recommended & will definately consider a further stay when in the area, local bus stopped directly outside hotel for trip into Edinburgh
The best place in musselburgh to stay in.
Very clean tidy and amazing host. Alice will make sure you’re feeling welcomed and at home.
We took a large room with multiple beds. Amazing view. Great breakfast and very close from shops.
If you like to walk it’s 30 min to the train station or down the street for a bus ride.
We loved everything about Arden house, style, room size, excellent breakfast, the host are wonderfully accommodating. I highly recommend Arden House to any of my friends, who wish to visit Edinburgh . I'm definitely going back. Staying at Arden house made my first visit to Scotland very special indeed 😀
Happy
Spectacular place, honestly it was way nicer then I thought it was going to be. The owner was super friendly and knowledgeable about the property. A little out of town but easy to reach with a train and a little taxi ride but so calm and peaceful after the chaos that is Edinburgh.
The cottage is twee however I was expecting that, its charming and in keeping with the period of the property. The garden is indeed beautiful and being in time for the tulips was an extra bonus. Great location for exploring Edinburgh and East Lothian.
The room was fabulous very spacious, Breakfast was good and dinner was fine. The communal sitting areas and gardens were amazing. It is a great location for exploring the coast and Edinburgh only a short drive away. Brilliant location
Breakfast was simple but sufficient (common area with help yourself facilities). Location was perfect next to bus stop with easy access to Edinburgh. Also supermarket across the road. The rooms were very modern and super comfortable.
Lovely house alongside the river which was clean and modern. Great place for a family trip to Edinburgh. We know Edinburgh well as we have lots of family here but have never been to Musselburgh before, we would stay again.
Great location for a day at Musselburgh Races. Breakfast included and good choice available.Bed very comfortable. Decor recently refreshed to a good standard. Easy parking on the premises. Easy for buses too.
I was in the area birdwatching and the apartment was ideally situated especially for Fisherrow harbour and Musselburgh, but also for other places around the coast such as Aberlady Bay and Gullane.
Very clean bedroom and comfortable bed. The hotel was in a good position and quite near the beach so could have a walk there.The bar an restaurant we’re good and staff friendly. Food good.
Food in Restaurant very good along with service. Setting is nice. Rates were reasonable for area. For a old place it was very warm ( must cost a fortune to heat).
