Other than a slow check in owing to confusion with the group arriving at different times, the stay was very comfortable. The rooms were newly refurbished, modern and very clean. The breakfast buffet offered all you could need, attentive staff, and available early. The hotel is situated in the ideal location to head to East Lothian promptly for an early tee time.
