I went on a 3-day trip and explored great places around Edinburgh. That's why I chose this hotel - the location is excellent (you can get easily to Stirling, Five, Falkirk, Midhope, already mentioned Edinburgh, etc. - the bus stop is literary behind the corner and the train station is only 10-minute walk.) The staff were really friendly, the room was absolutely clean and cosy. Thank you for the lovely stay!

  • Do you mind if we drop off our bags early before check in? We want to participate in the Loony Dook and have a place to stash our warm clothes. So after we can head back to your hotel for a warm shower. We are flying in to celebrate our anniversary and are looking forward to Hogmanay festivities.

    This is not a problem at all, we can store your luggage.
