It's common knowledge that spending a little time surrounded by trees and plants can improve your energy levels. If walking around town has worn you out, Dalkeith Country Park is a perfect place to pause and recharge your batteries.

This recreation and green space is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Dalkeith. But Dalkeith Country Park isn't the only drawcard in the area. Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre, and Princes Street Gardens are some other worthwhile sights nearby.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (133 reviews)

Beautifully renovated main dining area and bar. Lovely food and drink. Unfortunately seemed a bit short-staffed the evening we dined and service was quite slow. Ran out of orange juice both mornings for breakfast. Room comfortable and spacious-quirks included non-functional telephone and safe. Would return and recommend to others. Perhaps just a bit more attention to detail (dead plants in hanging basket outside lodge rooms) for a 5-star rating.

What a wonderful place! The building (a crescent) was beautiful. The apartment was very comfortable. The host was super friendly and helpful. It’s a decent walk to Princes Street… just over the Dean Bridge on the edge of Dean Village (a must-see). We will definitely return. Highly recommended!!!
