Faside Estate, hotel in Musselburgh

Around 10 miles east of Edinburgh city center, the 14th-century castle on Faside Estate provides luxurious bed and breakfast accommodations.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Accommodation was convenient for the Ladies Golf Open, held at Muirfield 2022., which we attended. Would have been convenient for playing golf in that area which appears to have plenty of courses to choose from.

    We really liked the kitchen facilities plus the shower was spacious and the room itself was spacious and felt fresh. We had a good communication with the hotel before arrival. We couldn't stay for breakfast but will possibly book again and have breakfast or use the bar on site. The kitchen was located in common area with juice and milk plus butter and toasts plus jam, plus coffee and tea. We loved it, but it would be cool to have wine glasses as well in the kitchen.

    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.

    The room was comfortable but needed paint scrapped on the window panes. First floor lounge areas were nice. Garden and grounds were great. Dinner was excellent. Breakfast was ok. On the plus side--the hotel is well aware of the need of major update and has already scheduled that for the winter. Then this will be a very romantic hotel.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I loved the location of the hotel and the comfort of the room. The small communal area was a nice touch too. The bus stop was right outside the hotel with buses every few minutes into Edinburgh only taking half an hour.

    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.
