Overall Ratings & Reviews The Crown & Kitchen

great bar and restaurant all available on the premises

Breakfast was fabulous & when we needed help figuring out the bath they were really helpful!!

We enjoyed our brief stay in the quiet village of East Linton. The welcome and food was very good and the room, cosy. However, the room was very hot and lacked an ensuite. We had to venture out across a corridor to a private bathroom; this was not made clear at the booking stage.

Stayed for one night and absolutely loved it! Staff are brilliant, everything you need in the room and it’s clean and specious. Breakfast was fantastic.

We had a lovely three days in a most comfortable room with super bath and shower. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and very tasty. Every member of staff was helpful, efficient and very welcoming. Thank you.

Great location with easy access by car or rail. Excellent location for visiting Edinburugh. Spacious clean rooms with good facilities. Nice pibe with good food and friendly atmosphere. Staff friendly and very hlpful. Definitely will return.

We had a great stay here. All the staff were friendly, we loved our room with the ensuite, the pub had lots of atmosphere and we really enjoyed our dinner. The breakfast was the best breakfast we've had so far - everything was tasty and piping hot. Thanks.

It was very good in all areas welcoming and very convenient for our needs. The surrounding areas were lovely and very easy to to get into Edinburgh by public transport

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.

Comfortable and quiet room. Excellent food and beverage offering.

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.

Great breakfast, comfy beds.

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.

A great stay despite the stairs, room was spacious and a large bathroom with a great walk-in shower The bed was the best sleep I’ve had on ages

Lovely quiet hotel

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

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.

Great character room, with nice bathroom and shower, Pub does very good food on evening and breakfasts were excellent
