One of the best hotels we stayed at in Scotland. If I ever go back to Edinburgh, I would put this hotel at the top of my list.

Very nice, comfortable, and clean. Rooms located above the pub. Only issue was the room entrance was outside and required climbing several stairs. Persons with limited mobility would find it challenging.
