Perfect for my son and me. We really enjoyed playing tennis, using the pool and gym. Breakfast was delicious and we appreciated it being made to order. Room was pretty tired, but it was fine for our purposes. A great stay for the price.

Fantastic, Peaceful Hotel

Such a comfortable bed, room was immaculate, staff were superb and so friendly and helpful. As I was leaving each morning before breakfast was served I was given to option of a breakfast bag which contained plenty to keep you going till lunch. All facilities are excellent and kept to extremely high standards.

6/10 Good

Good location

Stayed as a family of 4 with bed and breakfast on Easter Sunday. Our daughters received Easter Eggs when we checked in which was a nice touch! Really friendly and help-full staff!! We had a family room which was a good size and beds were comfortable. Room needed updating but was clean. We used the pool which was absolutely freezing and could not stay in too long due to it being too cold. Did not have dinner at the hotel, menu was not that great so we drove into Livingston which has numerous eateries to pick from. Had the cooked breakfast the next morning was almost inedible. Brick hard potato scone, mushy black pudding, watery mushroom, overcooked poached egg, cold bacon, tasteless sausages and no beans left!! The continental selection was a lot better! Location of hotel is good for shopping in Livingston and for visiting Five Sisters zoo.

Defo return can’t fault hotel and staff

Great stay, close to train station to get to Edinburgh. The breakfast was prefect, order what you want from the menu and it’s all fresh and the service was amazing, can’t recommend this hotel enough, will defo be back, if I would change anything it would be the bed was 2 singles put together so could feel the gap so was just like sleeping in single bed even tho we are married and I would prefer a single bed for my daugther not just a pull out bed. But other then that was a fab stay
