Fake tan stains were in the bath from previous guest. Hot water took almost 10mins to come on. Outdoor had a few broken planters and weeds coming through the floor. Kitchen was closed for maintenance so there was no food options until breakfast the next day. I could hear people going in and out their rooms until about 2am and then starting again at 6am. I have stayed previously and was impressed but this time just felt like lack of care was given.

The tv in the room didn’t work and only half the dishes on the menu were available even though it was a small basic menu and it was not near alternative places to eat so this was not good

When we arrived at the hotel we were advised there was no restaurant or bar open. We should have been advised in advance. The only other pub in the town was also closed.

Email on the day of stay to say that the hotel was only open 8-12 in the morning and that my room key was in the door to my room. Didn’t even know where to find my room! Then the key wouldn’t come out the door, rang the emergency number and yes, someone did come to help. No restaurant open or bar and for a loan female travelling, it wasn’t a pleasant experience at all.
Radiator in the bathroom didn’t work so the whole room was freezing. Had to stand in a towel as the floor tiles were really cold. On checkout, no “how was your stay”, just paid my bill and left. Won’t be staying there again. £90 for a bed!

In 44 years of marriage and traveling the accommodations were not acceptable for seniors in late 60’s. We were expected to climb a flight of steep stairs and with baggage. Given the smallest room on property, a double fouton type bed, too low, bed that was no more than a foot and a half off floor. I caught my shoe one of the platform legs at 68 and fell flat on my face. This room was dangerous. I disclose accessibility needs on every booking yet got overlooked. We always book a king or 2 queens due to my wife’s disability. That was never acknowledged. After traveling over 20 hours we were exhausted, hungry and dehydrated. At approximately 6:00 we asked if we could take dinner up to room, eat and rest. We were denied any food stating they never allow food in the rooms. The room was nothing like the description and were unable to eat due to exhaustion and the inability to get downstairs to eat. We weren’t helped at time of check-in with WiFi and weren’t able to call for even water. This stay was unacceptable and coming clear from the US extremely disappointing as we’ve saved for years for this vacation. I showed the girl who was housekeeping the website and she offered info that the room we were in was not on the website.
To top things off, I didn’t have a chance to pay through Hotels.com due to internet issues on the 23rd and at breakfast without my knowledge host charged our room in their currency costing time and a half. Please make this right. Tim Richardson.

On a major road, up from 5am as the HGVs driving past made the room shake.
No reception, key was in the door.
No answer to the 5 calls I made on my 250 mile journey ( Google maps and Google told me the hotel was closed)
No restaurant for evening meal, breakfast (they did advise of this ahead of my arrival).

The food was amazing …. However sadly the room let things down . There was no kettle in our room despite there being a tray with cups , tea /coffee etc . When queried the staff apologised and said they try and find one ……..never happened . The plumbing work in the bathroom left a lot to be desired …… very poor grouting round the bath / shower door …… the shower was extremely loose and felt it would fall off the wall ….. tiles missing from behind the sink . Toilet roll attached to wall opposite the loo ……… you needed arms at least four foot long to reach it ! . Would recommend for eating , not staying .

The hotel room was very clean and comfy and what i considered to be a massive bargain considering the price of hotels in edinburgh for the same night. The service was fantastic but breakfast was phenomenal to service and to food itself. I will be retur ing for my next trip to edinburgh. £120 for the night with breakfast for 2 people with two lattes and two teas. Phenomenal!!!

The staff here are very hospitable. Angus was fabulous in meeting needs. There’s a pretty wooded area to the sides and a nice area to sit outside. The carpet is filthy in the hallway, stairs and in the room. The Sun Inn is on a main road next to the train tracks. Since there is no air conditioning we will sleep with the window open which we couldn’t do because of the traffic noise. The shower was very nice. There was a floor fan which helped tremendously. Dinner and breakfast were good. The rooms need reuniting. There are areas that smell very bad in the hallway like old rubbish. I would not stay here again.

We were disappointed that we arrived for the nights lodging and the restaurant was closed when the advertised hours clearly said it should be open. We arrived just after 18:00. The Sun website said the restaurant was open until 19:00. Google said it was open until 21:00. They directed us to walk a half mile to another pub which was open. Room was quite noisy due to the busy highway in front. Coffee service in the room was messed up. Instead of instant coffee in the container, it was ground coffee with no method of making it. It was not a cheap room, ot should have been executed better.
