Top East Lothian Hotel Reviews

Marine North Berwick

10/10 Excellent

"Really a wonderful hotel with great staff"

The Leddie Hotel

8/10 Good

"Generally a great ‘boutique’ hotel, with great staff. Very clean and well presented in bedroom and communal areas. Only 5 car spaces on site but plenty free parking on road but in busy periods may be a 100+ meters away. Only real issue we had was room was too hot. A general problem in UK hotels and if no decent air conditioning, as was the case in our room, it made for an uncomfortable night. Would revisit but only when outside temperature was below 18oC to allow room to cool down. Towels were large, TV channels were okay, in room drinking facilities were good. Being a small hotel, all rooms were off a small corridor which meant clear noise as other guests walked past bedrooms along with opening and closing of fire doors. Only dropped from From 5 to 4 star simply due to temperature of room. Staff particularly good."

Arden House

10/10 Excellent

"Though an old building, it is very well maintained. Very clean and the host (Alice) very friendly and helpful. it is beautifully placed and our room overlooked the Musselburgh Racecourse/ golfing green. Breakfast (though continental) was very nice and you were able to choose what you wanted and at what time and this was brought up to your room in a lovely basket. Our whole stay there was lovely and would definitely stay there again :)"

Open Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Check in staff were very helpful. The food was mostly good but there was a bit of an issue with serving the main course and we were left waiting for a long time, with no-one advising what the issue was that was holding up the meal. Unfortunately, the steak was very rare instead of medium but we had waited so long to receive it that my husband did not send it back as it would have meant waiting even longer. Also the amuse bouche that should have been included in the summer set menu did not materialise. Other than that, breakfast was good and served quickly. I found out later there was only one chef which may have explained the delay but it would have been helpful to kept abreast of the situation. However, we enjoyed our stay and the hotel was in an excellent location with parking available, and I would certainly stay there again."
