Top Musselburgh Racecourse Hotel Reviews

Premier Inn Edinburgh East

8/10 Good

"They were renovating. But still good. The only real complaint is it’s pretty far away from the core. You have to take the bus instead of the tram which is less convenient. But great staff."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

10/10 Excellent

"The food was amazing and the staff were very knowledgeable about the area and helpful with planning the rest of our trip. The property itself was beautiful! 10/10 would recommend!"

Melville Castle

8/10 Good

"Most of the staff were lovely and went out of their way to accommodate requests or needs. Service for meals was fairly slow, so plan accordingly. Food quality and temperatures should definitely be I Improved. While the property was lovely, the furnishings were a bit shabby and worn down. It wouldn’t take much to raise the standard and impression. Finally, the write ups and marketing should be more truthful about what can be seen on property and how authentic the current building truly is. Those looking for royalty to have stayed at the ‘castle’ will be let down."
