Great location, close to the A1, with the pub nextdoor and also Asda and a garden centre just up the road. Staff at the pub were very helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the room was nice and quiet. Tea and coffee available in the room. Okay for a one night stop over.

Such a shame.

My third visit to this hotel. Sadly it wasn’t as good as previous visits. The room had a stale smell, there were splashes of who knows what up the walls, probably tea/coffee, and the edges around the bath were disgusting. The mattress was so uncomfortable. Shower curtain rail was hanging off the wall. The only positive was the food in the restaurant was good.

A Good Reasonably Priced Hotel/pub

The Pine Marten is very reasonably priced compared to other hotels in the area. The hotel building is separate from the pub so no noise. The bedroom was clean with all facilities. The bed was (unlike in some hotels) very comfortable. Had continental breakfast each day at £6 odd. It was adequate but no yoghurt mixed with berries like at Premier Inn and Holiday Inn Express. Also the music being played was dire
. Funeral music

We were there for two nights to attend a wedding nearby so it did the job. Not somewhere I would choose to stay for a holiday.

We had a one night stay here. The location was easy to get to, just off the A1, and there was plenty of parking. To check in you have to go into the Marstons pub where there is a small reception desk. We checked in and then you go to the seperate accommodation block. There is a large Asda and a very nice garden centre just across from the site.
We ate in the pub restaurant which was nice food at a reasonable price. The room was big enough for us and was comfortable. We slept well.
Breakfast was back at the pub restaurant. You had to order your cooked choice but the cereal, toast etc was self service.
The accommodation is reasonably priced and I would stay here again, mostly due to the convenient location.

The room was clean, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the location is ideal for people en route to somewhare else (shopping, fuel etc). The one drawback is that when the weather is bad (and it wasn't during my stay) you have to walk in the open between the restaurant and the accommodation.

Very friendly staff in pub next door, although ecerything from the Scottish breakfast was out of stock. Room was clean, good shower, but couldnt watch tv, or even listen to the radio, as the it kept losing connection every few minutes. Personally i do not like having to check in at the pub next door, no reception at hotel, when you need extra tea or toilet roll you have to ask at the pub not ideal.

Hotel is in convenient location

All good when we arrived. Room was well prepared with tea, coffee and milk sachets. Lovely towels too. However on the second day of our stay the room was not serviced so we had to buy tea and coffee. Even worse, the towels weren’t replaced so we had to use damp towels the second day. As we paid the full price for each day I think the room should have been serviced the second day.

We booked two rooms for the trip back from Edinburgh to Teesside after our holiday.
The hotel is conveniently located and considering the Fringe is on was priced at a much more acceptable rate.
Rooms were modern and cosy with coffee making machines. We never went to breakfast because we arrived in the early hour of the morning.

In my wife and daughter it even came with a surprise guest already in bed!! This should never have happened and my wife and daughter were mortified. The poor guy in bed probably didnt know what day of the week it was eiher!!

Had this not have happened I would have scored the hotel higher. The porter/night-supervisor was able to sort another room but only because a guest had failed to turn up. Lord only knows what we would have done otherwise.
