Thanks for your 5 star review and positive feedback. Much appreciated

4 out of 5
We love the location of this hotel. It is close to the Royal Mile and yet away from the hustle and bustle. We stayed here several years ago as part of a tour and when we decided to visit Scotland again, we started here. Remodeling made some nice changes, but we were disappointed in the menu at the "new" restaurant and bar. Concierge and front desk services are wonderful!

Thanks for your review and feedback, sorry that our new menu did not meet your expectations, we only introduced it a few weeks and we are taking all guest feedback into consideration. Thanks again.
