Cosy Hotel in East Linton

The room was small and cosy but clean and tidy.
The food in the restaurant was great. Good menu and cooked perfectly. There was not a big choice for breakfast. It was either a cooked Scottish breakfast or cereals but I think you could have had scrambled or poached eggs with toast if you wanted.
There is a bar in the hotel which is frequented by locals who are very friendly. Had a great couple of evenings in there.

The customer service was excellent throughout, nothing was too much trouble, and every detail was handled with care. Our room was spotless, with a wonderfully comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep.

Great little village close yo the A1 - perfect for an overnight stop from Scotland.
Very friendly staff at check in who showed us to our room which was small and dated
Evening meal was delicious but there was a limited choice of drinks- no cider and only one white wine.
Breakfast was included which is good but no marmalade or fruit and limited choice. It was tasty though.
Preston Mill is situated within easy walking distance and served as a great after breakfast visit.

Our room, number 3, was on the front of the building, opposite a very busy train track, which resulted in disturbed sleep. Trains ran throughout the night. The window was an old sash window with single glazing, which we had to pad out to stop from rattling. The room was very small, with no room for a bedside table and barely any room to get into the bed, which also wasn't the most comfortable. Breakfast and the lady serving it, was the best part of the stay.

We really, really wanted to like this place and in the end we didn’t. It has a lot of potential and hopefully the family running this place can get it sorted.

The staff was friendly but we went into Edinburgh for the evening and had trouble getting in to the hotel when we got back late. We had told them we would be coming back late so we were surprised at the trouble, I wish they had just given us a night key.

The room we had was at the top of the building and somehow collected all of the cooking smells from the evening. The mattress was past its prime and uncomfortable. There was something wrong with the water pressure so showering was challenging.

Dinner was good and was a good value. Breakfast on the other hand was nothing short of amazing.

I booked 3 days stay through Expedia. 1st day was Sunday. As soon as checked in and arrived, I told the receptionist that I will only stay for 2 days and needs a refund for a day. She told me that she already advised the owner. Monday, Sept. 16, 2024 - I reminded them again about my refund for a day and the lady told me that it’s all good and the 1 day refund will be credited back to my account. I called expedia customer service and they contacted the owner (Patrick). He said that he can only approve half of the day because he werent informed about my request (which is not my fault if the staff is too dumb not to tell the owner, and I was advised in the first place that she did informed the owner). So someone is lying or did not do the job well done. It’s been 3 weeks and they never credited any refund at all. I hope their cheap hotel can benefit from that funds that I did not use at all. Been to different countries around the world and I can say that their hotel has the worst service of all time. They don’t even provide daily toiletries. The staff aren’t friendly and can’t even greet you whenever they see you. Worst experience. I like Scotland, but the experience in this hotel makes me feel that I don’t want to visit their place anymore. For people who are planning to go to the area, please dont go to this hotel. This is my most Terrible experience and won’t ever recommend their hotel. Just go to the hotel near the city. Never to this hotel. I swear to God they are the worst

There was no headboard and view was over looking the road and railway line .we had to open the window as it was warm so it was a little noisy when the trains went by
We went out early the next day came back at around 6pm and the room had not been serviced and nothing was replenished so no coffee or toiletries.the food on our first evening was ok but breakfast was very limited four cereals toast or a Scottish breakfast which had no sausage it was not very tasty and pretty unappealing we didn’t bother going down the next morning and had a lay in until the room next door woke us,breakfast was only served 7.30/8.30am .We had just done a road trip staying in 5 properties over 10 days and this Hotel was the biggest disappointment and the most expensive.

Great Find and Location!

We loved this hotel!!! My mother and I took a long overdue vacation to Scotland and this hotel came up as being close to Edinburgh. It is on a bus line (the X7) to downtown Edinburgh and the stop is literally across the street from the hotel! Convenient if you have luggage. The bus ride is about 40 minutes to Edinburgh so easy if you want to head there. I’d recommend exploring the East Linton area though. It’s a beautiful area with walking paths and restaurants. The hotel has a pub and restaurant attached. We had breakfast and it was incredible!!! I wished we also had dinner. The menu looked great. The room was perfect for us with a gorgeous view of the church behind the hotel. Everything was well provided and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The toilet had a shredder built into it and we weren’t used to that. I did notice the sink backsplash needed a quick wipe. That was literally the only thing that needed doing. If you are a light sleeper, know the church bells chime on the hour until 11pm. We loved it—that just added to our magical stay!!

Village location, roadside parking available, small but friendly, bar and restaurant lovely home cooking. Room adequate allthough the shower presdure was not good, clean and tidy, stayed here a few times only criticism kettle needed a clean inside. And I felt a little uneasy as I was challenged on payment the morning after my stay luckily I produced the receipt. Maybe a little miscommunication. Overall nice stay and I would recommend for foreign visitors, as an ideal stop on route to Edinburgh and beyond.
