We really enjoyed our over night stay in a superior room. The hotel is lovely and the staff were very friendly. The room was spacious and had everything you would need. The only downside was the mattresses were brick hard and killed my back. Breakfast was good.

Superb value for money. Our room was spotlessly clean and serviced every day. It was great that our towels weren't replaced when we hung them up. I would highly recommend having an evening meal there as both of our choices were delicious. Great location - we went into Edinburgh three times and used the park and ride at Wallyford which is a 15 minute drive away. Stunning views from the restaurant. We shall definitely recommend The Lodge to anyone who wants to stay in the area.
