We stayed here overnight for an early flight from Edinburgh airport and it was perfect! Easy drive to airport, lovely food in restaurant and cocktails in the bar. The room was spacious and comfortable, it had everything that we needed. We left 5am so didn’t have breakfast.

Bed and pillows was very comfortable. The quality if the bed covers made it super wasy to fall alseep ans its only 15min drove from the airport. Quality of the room was great however the menu in the restaurant was lack luster for the price.
