Unfortunate incident.
Lovely room, great food and friendly staff. Unfortunately due to a leak coming from the room above, water flooded into our room through the ceiling.
The bar manager came very promptly and dealt with it the best that he could but unfortunately we had to vacate the property for the remaining 2 nights of our stay.
He contacted us the next day regarding the issue and as it could not be resolved it was agreed we would receivet a refund.

Great stay in East Lothian
The food in the restaurant was superb and had a wide variety of choices that worked for us (vegetarian). The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. Staff was friendly. We had a room that had a private bathroom (not en-suite) that needed a bit of work. Only down-side was there were no towels when we arrived. We asked, but none appeared. Evening staff was very busy in the bar that was packed and I think they were short staffed, so somewhat understandable.

Besides a dirty pillow and dirty coffee/tea pots it was a nice stay. Very quiet and cozy. I like the decor but not a separate bathroom. Turns out only one room has a bathroom outside of the room.

The room cost £90 for b&b which was adjacent to the actual pub area. It was advertised with a private bathroom which is a bit misleading as it was not en-suite but over a corridor and up a stair which isn’t ideal. The room was small but very clean and well appointed except for TV which didn’t work.
The food had great reviews but was really disappointing. Ordered nachos to start and share. Salsa, guacamole, sour cream all obviously out of jars etc. and prefabricated. Had cod which was overcooked and a Cajun burger which was ok but served with the obligatory frozen chips. Choose Italian red wine at £29 which was fine but actually retails around less than £9. Leave others to decide if that’s value for money? When bill came tried to charge for 2 portions of nachos which was ridiculous. This was removed when spoke with the Manager. When I pre booked dinner expected to be served in restaurant but on arrival was informed we would have to eat in the bar as there was a private function. Nobody advised of this prior to our arrival. Staff did apologise which was more than be said for manager who was less than impressive.
In fairness all the other staff we had dealings with were helpful, courteous, pleasant and friendly.
Made an effort to stay at this hotel on our way home from elsewhere due to food reviews etc. Unfortunately didn’t live up to the hype and was in the main very disappointing. Would not recommend and most certainly not value for money in my opinion.

This is a property with very friendly staff who offer a warm welcome. The room we booked was rather small - not much room to get around the bed and very hot and stuffy on a warm night, with road noise if the window was open and no fan to cool it if the window was closed. The biggest issue was that it was not ensuite so worth checking what you are booking. My booking said "private bathroom" which turned out to be across the hall and up some steps and I wouldn't have booked the room had I realised that. I'm told there is just the one room that isn't ensuite so just be careful when you choose. Not the best night's rest because of the heat, but likely just this one room as it was so small. Can't fault the people though - very friendly.

Welcoming Pub with nice rooms, huge bathtub and shower, good food, beer, whisky. Very helpful staff, kindly portered bags up upstairs. Only street parking so don't leave things on sight overnight (area safe, but best be careful). Would stay here again

Great pub stay
Terrific hotel in the heart of East Lothian. Facilities you would expect from.a pub - excellent evening meals and included breakfast. Room was well furbished and spacious. No noise from the pub below, some traffic noise from being on the main road but not too busy. Great location.

Good for an overnight stay
We stayed for one night on our way to Edinburgh. The room was large and comfortable with an excellent walk in shower. We ate in the restaurant where the food was fine but after the main course was served the removal of finished plates was very slow

Scotland adventure
Lovely location, good food and good service from all the staff but disappointing niggles tainted the stay. No hot water on arrival after a long drive and day’s walking, little heat from the radiator, broken handle on the shower unit and noticeably loose flooring in the bathroom. The hot water was resolved before bedtime and the manager did all he could however far from ideal. This said if the issues are addressed it is a nice place to stay.
