    delicious gnocchi

    Just a reliable pick for a short interlude in Dalkeith with great value for money. The gnocchi I had was amazing, with perfect textures and a delicious cheese sauce. Bring a fan if you stay in a warmer room.

    The Junior Suite with Terrace was spacious and well-appointed, with a lovely patio. The breakfast was particularly enjoyable, and the friendly staff provided attentive service. The hotel lacks amenities, and its location on a busy road detracts from the overall experience. While the dinner was nice, the hotel seems to be struggling with its past reputation as a top gastropub.

    Cozy vibes and good coffee

    The new lounge area is super bright and comfy. Enjoyed a flat white that hit the spot! Food was really good for lunch too, good quality at a fair price. Only downside was a bit of noise from the hall, but it wasn't too bad considering the atmosphere.
