The hotel and restuarant attached were amazing, we werent expecting much as we saw it in a retail park on the maps, but was very surprised with how clean, tidy and very friendly the staff were. The hotels ideally situated just off the M90, so makes travelling about even easier.

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

Good stay - room a little cramped for a family.

It was a nice enough room but very cramped. It didn't feel like a family room - just a normal room with extra beds squeezed in to be honest. The room was clean and tidy the the restaurant and breakfast excellent and very cost friendly. Our room was next to the door, so it was a little noisy - especially with people leaving early. Other than that - it was a good room, affordable, and I'm a good location

I definitely recommend the hotel. The room was very clean, well looked after, and comfortable. The staff were all great. Shout out to James, Ryan, JR, Emma and everyone whose names I've forgotten. Highly recommend the restaurant. The food was very good. We particularly enjoyed The Carvery. It was a breeze taking the train into Edinburgh, but I wish we had time to explore Dunfermline, it's a beutiful small city.
