All in all a nice pub to stay in, 44 bus outside takes you into the city, takes awhile but if your looking for somewhere slightly cheaper than the city centre, this is a nice place to stay for a couple of nights. Food was great, staff great, very quiet at night considering it's a pub. If you do stay here and get the 44 from Edinburgh the stop you require is curries library and the pub is opposite on the right.

The location was perfect for exploring edinburgh one day and heading for the airport the next. Being attached to the pub was so convenient and the food was incredible! It was quiet as well which i had been concerned about. The room was small but clean, the only fault I had was a lack of charging points for devices around the bed but we managed :) Really recommend eating here and for the price it was a perfect base for us

The staff were all excellent in their desire and efforts to help. The room however was well below par with wallpaper on the ceiling in the early stages of peeling off and the bathtup separated from its bottom molding and haveing suffered a failed attempt to glue it back together with a glue filled gap still prominent.
The food is the restaraunt where I muse say again the staff was very good was quite poor, with aa burger (probably just following Scotland wide desires/regulations to protect me from myself) was the worst I have ever in my life experienced, cooked to an unpalatable and tasteless state and the cheesecake of the day desert more the consistancy of week old pudding than anything resemblink actual cheesecake and with a crust thick and dry.
It was actually sad seeing what looked as if it had once been a confortable Inn and pub reduced to this level while the staff gamely tried to keep things going.

Stayed at the Riccarton Inn on Friday night and had a great experience. The room was excellent—comfortable, clean, and well presented.

The food and drink in the bar area were brilliant, with a really good atmosphere to relax in after a long day. Service was friendly and efficient throughout.

Location-wise, it’s ideal—especially if you’re a parkrun tourist. Being so close to the local route made it the perfect base for the weekend.

Would definitely stay again.

The room was comfortable and clean, just what I needed after dealing with 2 connecting flights and hours of delays. Highly recommend for affordability and quality. Wish I had time to enjoy the pub.

Good base for Edinburgh visit

Clean comfortable room, one of 5 attached to pub. Good parking and easy access to central Edinburgh via bus routes 44 and 45. Had a couple of great evening meals. No longer do breakfast but Corner Cafe is 5 mins walk along the main road.

We booked this after they suddenly had a room available a week before we headed to the Fringe. It was great value - it's

Perfect in every way.

Would recommend, I was just passing through as a solo traveler needed a one night stay, and it was perfect for what I wanted a nice bed a very clean room and a very hot shower. The staff were great and could not do enough for me.

This is an inn whose primary purpose is providing excellent food and drinks to their guests and the wider community. They happen also to have five en suite rooms to let.
I was not their ideal guest in that I have digestive issues which mean my diet is very restricted, especially when I’m travelling. Consequently, the food and drinks side of things was irrelevant to me. I made do with the local supermarket, knowing what I safely can and can’t eat.
But for the vast majority of their guests, I’m guessing this is foodie heaven. So other reviews would suggest.
I can only judge from the accommodation angle, which is perhaps unfair.
The room was quiet, an acceptable size but in need of some TLC. The wifi was slow and clunky. But, on a positive note, the price was more than reasonable, to be honest, the only reason I chose the Riccarton Inn. There is a bus to Edinburgh city centre right outside that takes around 35 minutes, it seems to go every 15 minutes or so. The local supermarket, a few minutes walk away, is well stocked with basics and run by a local family who work very long hours, from 7am to 10pm weekdays, slightly less on weekends.
As I said, I’m not their prime demographic, so in a way this is an unfair review. I wouldn’t go back because the comfort levels weren’t high enough. But, if good food is a priority in your life, then go for it.

The Inn has an antiquated toilet- the type where the water tank is up high then you pull a chain to flush. Light fixture in the bathroom is a chain pull as well. Although old everything worked as it should.
The food at the Inn was especially good. Good value accommodation.

For the price and easy access to airport- can’t be beat. It is very dated and bathroom is not the greatest (clean but old and a bit mouldy). Bedroom was clean and more updated- relatively quiet but stayed on a Monday night- would likely be louder on a weekend or quiz night.

Chose for location to airport. Room and bathroom looked like it had not been updated since the 1970's. Mold on grout in bathroom. Bathroom door did not open fully or close. Noisy room with beer garden outside. Room finishes need to be updated. Tiny room. Only 18\" between bed and wall on one side.
