Top Forth Rail Bridge Hotel Reviews

Dakota Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Not the place to stay if you’re touring Edinburgh, although we took a bus to the city centre and it was cheap & relaxing, about an hours drive away. If you’re heading to the airport, or like us hopping on motorbikes to tour the country…it’s the perfect location! Staff was super helpful, very professional and very cheerful. Would definitely recommend Dakota!"
