The staff were lovely and accommodating, and we made use of pretty much every included amenity offered. The included breakfast was wonderful, the grounds and interiors were breathtaking, and the sea offered a wonderful cold plunge for those brave enough :-) We also thoroughly enjoyed the hydro-suite in the spa. A wonderful experience all around.

We had a lovely stay at the Tweeddale Arms. The staff were wonderful, the hotel is so quaint, the bed was very comfortable and the food was great! I saw some negative reviews about the food but our meals were delicious - both dinner and the choices for continental breakfast. We’re so glad we found this place and booked it!

    I loved the fact that at check-in we were welcomed back rather than the basic hello, my hubby had phoned prior regarding our room and asked if any of the 20 + rooms were available which he was told unfortunately not however upon arrival we were told we were in room 23 which was fantastic as I didn't fancy going up and down the stairs due to arthritic knees, the staff are so friendly and very helpful,, the rooms are fantastic value with the extra bits such as iron and hairdryer,,I just can't praise the place enough

    The Lodge rooms have beautiful views across the golf course to the Firth of Forth. The staff were kind and attentive. For non- golfers, there are nearby beaches and nature reserves. For birders, it is a short distance to the Scottish Seabird center in North Berwick for boat trips to Bass Rock.

    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.

    This is a lovely, old pub/hotel with many quaint features. Accommodation was clean and comfortable. The shower was excellent! The staff in the bar and restaurant were really friendly and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and the service was superb. Good selection of beers and a varied menu meant plenty of choices for all age groups. Will certainly stay again.

    This very ancient village with beautiful architecture peace, rivers and forests near by was a real find. I highly recommend, so near to Edinburgh and the beautiful Bass Rock off the coast of North Berwick. I enjoyed boat trips to find gannets, puffins, dolphins and learnt about the historic coast line and it’s Second World War activity!!! Who could resist lobster for lunch at the Lobster shack North Berwick!!

    Dirleton Castle is really beautiful, an extensive ruin, with turrets, cellars, and a prison cell to visit. It has very fine gardens laid out in the Arts and Crafts style. Oddly, it doesn't look much from the road, but it is actually a major attraction - we spent about two hours there. We also used Dirleton to travel into Edinburgh, it takes over an hour on the bus, but the bus is approximately £7.50 return and it is very regular. We ate at the Castle Inn, where we also stayed - it was great.

    Wasn't there for long as on a work trip. But did manage to take a stroll along the high street, which was full of independent businesses, which was great to see given the state of UK towns. Would have like to have spent a bit more time exploring the vicinity.
