Besides a dirty pillow and dirty coffee/tea pots it was a nice stay. Very quiet and cozy. I like the decor but not a separate bathroom. Turns out only one room has a bathroom outside of the room.

The room cost £90 for b&b which was adjacent to the actual pub area. It was advertised with a private bathroom which is a bit misleading as it was not en-suite but over a corridor and up a stair which isn’t ideal. The room was small but very clean and well appointed except for TV which didn’t work. The food had great reviews but was really disappointing. Ordered nachos to start and share. Salsa, guacamole, sour cream all obviously out of jars etc. and prefabricated. Had cod which was overcooked and a Cajun burger which was ok but served with the obligatory frozen chips. Choose Italian red wine at £29 which was fine but actually retails around less than £9. Leave others to decide if that’s value for money? When bill came tried to charge for 2 portions of nachos which was ridiculous. This was removed when spoke with the Manager. When I pre booked dinner expected to be served in restaurant but on arrival was informed we would have to eat in the bar as there was a private function. Nobody advised of this prior to our arrival. Staff did apologise which was more than be said for manager who was less than impressive. In fairness all the other staff we had dealings with were helpful, courteous, pleasant and friendly. Made an effort to stay at this hotel on our way home from elsewhere due to food reviews etc. Unfortunately didn’t live up to the hype and was in the main very disappointing. Would not recommend and most certainly not value for money in my opinion.

This is a property with very friendly staff who offer a warm welcome. The room we booked was rather small - not much room to get around the bed and very hot and stuffy on a warm night, with road noise if the window was open and no fan to cool it if the window was closed. The biggest issue was that it was not ensuite so worth checking what you are booking. My booking said "private bathroom" which turned out to be across the hall and up some steps and I wouldn't have booked the room had I realised that. I'm told there is just the one room that isn't ensuite so just be careful when you choose. Not the best night's rest because of the heat, but likely just this one room as it was so small. Can't fault the people though - very friendly.

Welcoming Pub with nice rooms, huge bathtub and shower, good food, beer, whisky. Very helpful staff, kindly portered bags up upstairs. Only street parking so don't leave things on sight overnight (area safe, but best be careful). Would stay here again

Great pub stay
Terrific hotel in the heart of East Lothian. Facilities you would expect from.a pub - excellent evening meals and included breakfast. Room was well furbished and spacious. No noise from the pub below, some traffic noise from being on the main road but not too busy. Great location.

Good for an overnight stay
We stayed for one night on our way to Edinburgh. The room was large and comfortable with an excellent walk in shower. We ate in the restaurant where the food was fine but after the main course was served the removal of finished plates was very slow

Lovely location, good food and good service from all the staff but disappointing niggles tainted the stay. No hot water on arrival after a long drive and day’s walking, little heat from the radiator, broken handle on the shower unit and noticeably loose flooring in the bathroom. The hot water was resolved before bedtime and the manager did all he could however far from ideal. This said if the issues are addressed it is a nice place to stay.

Firstly, this host does not make it clear that all accommodation is above ground level and not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Bathroom was in need of a wipe down as dust in bath , shower control fell off , towels had clearly seen better days ruff and washed out . Shower looks good as rainfall and additional shower ,however you needed to climb over the old style bath , again no suitable for anyone with a disability. Bathroom not onsuite and cold. Room welcoming but basic , no chair to sit on . No water in room . Decor and furniture clearly old and shabby sheek No visible breakfast menu. Asked for poached eggs waitress took order and returned to say not available! Breakfast when arrived was poor quality, 1half cooked fried egg,1 sausage ,1slice of bacon, 1teaspoon of cheap beans, cheap potatoe scone hard as a brick.Horrible black pudding and some other unidentifiable slice. Cheap bread white no option for brown bread . Clearly do not source from local farms . Option was coffee or juice , coffee white or black ! Such a pitty as located in a beautiful village location.
