Very good internet and reasonably priced pub food, Carcery is a must try. The manager and staff were generally pleasant and helpful. There seemed to be a slight communication issue with housekeeping, the bed wasn’t made, and only the tissues were replaced while the used cups and glasses were left behind. It appears we may have needed to inform the team at the dining area directly. However, the staff were responsive and addressed our concerns once raised. Conveniently located near many restaurants. We parked at Dalmeny, free street parking and took a train yo Edinburgh city, just 2 stations away and around 20 min. Convenient if you have a car Very close to bridges, nice visit to Queenferry

Great wee hotel. Quiet, clean and friendly service. Breakfast was really good and made for you; not on a buffet style. It was therefore hot when it arrived. Close to shops and places to eat so fab.

Overall very good, would stay again

The bed here was very comfortable and much better than numerous Travelodges we've stayed in recently. Despite it being a twin turned into a double the join wasn't very noticeable and the mattress was very comfortable. The only gripe for me was the shower head did look aged and the drain in the wet room didn't clear the floor quickly enough so you're stood in 2inches of water by the time you've finished but grab bars in all the right places. As a wheelchair user I found everything very accessible and would stay again. You do need to go into the pub for check in and handing the key back. We didn't eat there but did plan to, maybe next time!

As a place to stay this is ideal it has easy access from the motorway network and a range of eateries on the retail park. The staff were more than pleasant and check in was easy,however prior to arrival i received over 20 emails requesting various things relating to the four rooms I had booked including an invitation to book breakfast, on-line check and departure. I made one booking but all four rooms were billed separately activating fraud alert at my card issuer that i then had to resolve. to say it annoyed me would be an understatement. I even phoned there call centre and they told me to ignore the online check in, get it sorted. The adjacent carvery that is owned and run by Marstons seem extremely popular with the locals the chap running it was clearly well known to the customers and his mashed potatoes were divine. It is a nice quiet place to stay.
