Top Scottish Mining Museum Hotel Reviews

Melville Castle

10/10 Excellent

"The castle was beautiful. We enjoyed it immensely, it was better than a museum. Lots of unique art objects. The bar looked so beautiful! The restaurant was awesome. Holly from Reception was very helpful and made our stay better. She got us packed breakfast as we had an early flight. The room was a bit smaller than I expected, but I loved the view."

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 ,"

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

10/10 Excellent

"C’est avec un aussi grand plaisir que lors de notre premier séjour que nous avons passé ces quelques jours au Chestnut Cottage ! Merci Henrietta pour ce chaleureux accueil."

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

8/10 Good

"The place is beautiful, and our room was very good. The biggest issue was that Uber or Bolt does not pick up there. And we had to ask the hotel to call a taxi, which was really expensive (3x Uber). From Edinburgh center, ~£20 Uber and £50 taxi. Or you can go to the nearest train station for ~£15. The other issue was that there is no phone coverage in the hotel and very weak connection outside."

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"The staff at the Abbey are excellent, by far the best part about the stay. Very friendly with each encounter and extremely accommodating. We had several bags with us, and they made our check-in and check-out much easier by going out of their way to support. The room itself is satisfactory; it is about what you pay for. Nothing too extraordinary, but more than sufficient for what we needed it for. Although the bathroom wasn’t terribly well maintained, and the shower didn’t drain very well. Housekeeping was great; they came regularly and did a great job keeping the room to a high standing of cleanliness. The accommodation is also quite accessible to the city centre through both the 3 and the 29, which come quite frequently. Since there is no kitchen, having a Co-Op across the road is quite handy. Also close to some nice walking trails."

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."

Premier Inn Edinburgh A1 - Musselburgh

10/10 Excellent

"the property was well situated for travel to Edinburgh, but the Restuarant had been sold and was closed. Also some of the staff were borderline rude."
