    Appreciated this hip new hotel: excellent food and affable and welcoming staff. The house was beautiful and absolutely gorgeous, perfect for my needs. The setting was absolutely perfect and marvellous, adjacent to Edinburgh as well as hard to unload. I tried quick meals at Snax Cafe, within 300 metres of the property.

    Perfect getaway after our wedding!

    We loved it here! The staff were super friendly and even surprised us with a sweet gift for our wedding. The rooftop bar was a killer spot for cocktails after dinner. Breakfast was bomb too, and felt totally worth it. Only thing was our room could've used a bit more natural light.

    top-notch spa
    slow check-in

    I really loved the stunning views from the rooftop bar and the delicious breakfast in the elegant dining area. The spa offered a refreshing steam room and relaxing massage treatments which were top-notch. The only hiccup was the slow check-in process, but it didn't take away from the overall experience—just make sure to arrive a bit later if you can! 🌅
