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

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.

Good to stay, not so much to eat or shower.

Food in the pub part was just about ok. Very much tasted like it was re-heated and dry. If it were served fresh it would have been good. Shower pressure was terrible. Everything else was good.
