Top Scottish Mining Museum Hotel Reviews

Edinburgh, Dalkeith , Eskbank , vacation rental. S T LET LICENCE APL' MLOOO90P

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely accommodation. Handy for the city. Very comfortable stay."

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely superb hotel, stunning interior, fitting modern amenities in with the historic interior design. Excellent on site restaurant with the exceptional waiter. The food was excellent especially the venison casserole with broccoli and then the chocolate chilli for dessert 🍨. Not forgetting the superb breakfast."

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"I arrived very late. The staff were so friendly, and upgraded me from a single to a double room, I think because the single had gone to someone else. The bed was super comfy, I've never slept in a hotel room with such a comfy mattress before. The room was a bit run down, but clean enough. The breakfast was very basic, but good enough, and again the staff were very kind and helpful offering cups of tea or coffee. Very impressed for a two star hotel at the price I paid"

Chestnut Cottage - a charming traditional stone cottage with 2 bedrooms on Arniston Estate

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage was cozy and welcoming. The beds were comfortable. The showers were hot and the kitchen was very user-friendly. Henrietta, the host was helpful & knowledgeable and an all-around wonderful person. Being a senior citizen traveling alone, she made me feel welcome and safe. I would book this again anytime I find myself in Scotland."

Dalhousie Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Premier Inn Edinburgh A7 - Dalkeith

10/10 Excellent

"The restaurant next door was lovely for a quick bite. The room and hotel were great and a good location for our needs. The staff was excellent. The only thing we found that could have been better was our shower head was leaking sideways and was impossible to keep it from creating a tiny river on the bathroom floor. If you’re booking this location for a out of Edinburgh stay before a flight - make sure you factor in traffic / travel time that is sufficient to get through a morning rush hour & always prepare for some not so great rain conditions on the drive. There are also no convenient souvenir shops near this location if anyone is wondering; so if you wanted a last minute pick up - get it in the larger cities."

Fantastic Traditional yet Up-to-date Spacious Cottage Very Close to Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great cottage on beautiful grounds. Stayed with a group of 5. We all had plenty of space."

Harvieston Hall Estate Rooms

8/10 Good

"Унікальне історичне місце помешкання, чиста , тепла ,маленька кімната. Чистий постіль Але ціна завелика . Вікна не відкриваються ,"

The Sun Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We were coming in late, so I called ahead. The front desk was very accommodating even though we arrived after they were closed. They left our keys for us clearly marked. The room was wonderful and the bed was spacious. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Our room had the old-style skeleton key so if you are not used to that it might be good to brush up on how to use it before you arrive. We've experienced that a few times in the UK so it was OK for us."
