Went to this hotel for my birthday evening meal. Staff were wonderful and very attentive. The food (fillet steak in particular) was the best we've ever tasted. We have been several times before and love everything about this hotel. They are very child friendly so if (like us your not) when booking your table ask for one in the bar... More

We arrived on Saturday 28th April 2012 about 30 minutes early. Even although there was 30 ladies the staff could not have made us more welcome. We were shown to our tables straight away and were given refreshing cups of tea and coffee. Our meals were freshly cooked and served piping hot within a short time of arrival. The staff... More

I have worked in the 'top end' of the Hotel & Catering Industry for 25 years and just thought I would do a quick review about the service we received on the way home from Edinburgh last night. We dropped in at about 6.00pm with three very tired young children looking for an early dinner. The welcome was very friendly... More

I'd booked on-line to attend a wedding in the town, (at the castle) and I shared the place with some other guests who knew about the lodge already. Although a few miles from town and on its own, there were no end of visitors coming and going, eating and drinking, as well as staying as guests, which is always a... More

A very comfortable room - quiet and peaceful. The food was good, honest pub grub. There is a wall almost covered with certificatres and awards, form my point of view, well earnt. One for "Quality of food, Good service and ambiance" about sums it up. They have a lot of local suppliers and the menu lists the farms, butchers and... More

Stayed here overnight on Friday & enjoyed a special dinner with friends in the Gallery private dining area. What a fantastic night. The food was superb, especially the beef on the bone carved in the room & the team looking after us couldn't do enough. Susan is just the most perfect host & makes the whole experience so special. She... More

We frequently stop here for a (sometimes very) late lunch on the way south from Edinburgh. This lunch time (14:30 hrs) consisted of Steak Pie for herself and Mince and Dumplinds for me. The service is always, and was this time friendly, and they were totally un-phased about us having a late lunch. Both main courses were excellent with the... More

Four of us stopped for lunch and realised that we had over payed when we discussed it at Edinburgh airport. I called to query it and was given brilliant professional service by Susan. Food was very tasty and we are planning a lunch for six in January. Money was refunded with no hassle.
