The hotel offers lovely rooms with really comfortable beds and essential amenities, though slightly on the smaller side. Having a fridge in the room is convenient. The service is efficient and attentive, making the stay pleasant overall. The location is perfect for exploring specific sites but may be a bit out of the way for city-centric expectations. The dining options vary from horrible to really good, ensuring there's something for everyone. The facilities meet basic needs but fall short in certain areas.

The hotel offers spotless and very comfortable rooms with a lovely modern bathroom, although a bit cold initially, the staff promptly provided a portable heater. The rooms are finished to a high standard but are pretty small. The service is warm and friendly, going above and beyond to assist guests, and the location is convenient for exploring Penicuik with lovely grounds. The dining experience, while somewhat inconsistent in portion sizes, is promptly delivered by attentive staff. Overall, it's a great value for money with a few minor issues.
