    Very narrow stairs but nothing you can do about that.

    This place was great with incredible breakfast and staff. Loved staying here and highly recommend it. So close to Rosslyn chapel and castle we couldn't believe it.

    Nothing really could improve my stay... apart from the bar being able to make a Mojito ;)

    Arriving at the carpark at the rear of the Inn during heavy rain at lunchtime, a staff member serving in the conservatory, saw us taking the luggage from the boot and immediately opened a rear door and said come in here. What a great start to a wonderful stay, as ALL the staff were absolutely wonderful, warm, kind and so very helpful during our 4 night stay. We stayed in a lovely four poster room, Rm2, which was very tastefully decorated in keeping with the age of the Inn, yet the bathroom was modern and very clean, yet was decorated to blend in seamlessly. Great bars and dining, from tasty bar food, to ample breakfast offerings, all freshly made. Great bus link, just steps away from the front door, taking an hour to get to Princess Street, so the Inn offered peaceful location, with ample parking yet easy access to the centre of Edinburgh. Note if you want a quicker route in or out of Edinburgh, then an Uber will cost around £20. All in all a fantastic place to stay. As an aside, but which was noticed during my four nights, some unusual activity occurred in the room which couldn't be explained. I was awakened during my first night by the sound of the floor boards creaking, in the darkened room, as though someone was slowly moving around the bed watching us. The hair on the back of my neck was literally raised like never before with an intense feeling that someone was standing next to me, but I saw nobody. The next 2 days we returned to the room with our bag, which was stored under the front facing window, lying toppled over into the room. The final morning, the bathroom sash window, which had been left a quarter open due to the warm nights and showering, was found to have been physically closed and was open when we had gone to bed.

    Absolutely nothing! It was all wonderful.

    A beautiful and spotlessly clean inn with masses of character, friendly and helpful staff, the personal touch, nothing was too much trouble, food was excellent - I particularly recommend the full breakfast!!! Restaurant served a good choice of food and was very tasty. If you like character and the personal touch in a gorgeous and peaceful location located close to Roslin chapel, then this for you.

    Not applicable! Everything was amazing

    The staff are super friendly and so helpful. Our flight was delayed and they waited up to let us in at a very late hour. Breakfast was incredible and Grahame is a delight to chat with each morning. Clean and cosy room. Great location with bus stop outside the door. Beautiful village. We leave today somewhat sadly but will be back!

    Very small basin and the positioning of a shelf above it, made it hard to wash face. Pillows rather solid. Dark colours in room a bit gloomy.

    Excellent to have a room with a BATH (which are hard to find these days). Reasonably priced compared with the extortionate prices in Edinburgh. Fruit at breakfast and very generous well-cooked hot options. Comfortable mattress and nice soap. Welcoming staff, who upgraded us to a room with more space. Effective heating. Well decorated dining room. We liked the location outside the city but with a reliable bus service.

    If we are going to be picky, the carrots and green beans served with the excellent beef pie were a bit bendy.

    very good and helpful staff. The check in was very very easy and we were shown to our room and everything was explained to us. We were advised to bring our booking for the evening meal for forward to avoid clashing with a party of ten people. Room 6 was very quiet and got a good nights sleep. Breakfast was excellent.
