The Linton Hotel

Small pub-hotel, nice location. Our room was quite small but we hadn't paid for the upgrade to a larger room, we would recommend doing this. The restaurant specialises in steak and the smell of cooking reaches the rooms even on the top floor. No carpark but the on street parking is free. Short walk to the station which also has a free carpark. Served full scottish breakfast in the morning, friendly staff.

The room was small and cosy but clean and tidy. The food in the restaurant was great. Good menu and cooked perfectly. There was not a big choice for breakfast. It was either a cooked Scottish breakfast or cereals but I think you could have had scrambled or poached eggs with toast if you wanted. There is a bar in the hotel which is frequented by locals who are very friendly. Had a great couple of evenings in there.

Staff were all lovely! Locals also very nice, real friendly village feel in the bar. Food was good and lovely little garden to sit out the back and escape the heat! Rooms were basic but did the job for our one night stay. Saw some photos online before going that worried us but room and bathroom and all public spaces very clean so don’t be put off!

Great staff, good food. Room and hotel a bit tired and dated but nonetheless clean and comfortable. NO PARKING!

Had a couple of problems with the room which were raised with staff to fix. Food was very good as was the service. All rooms are on upper floors and there is no lift so this could be an issue for people with mobility issues.

Stopover on way home from holiday at Linton hotel was really good. Staff great from the very start, the lady behind bar moved her car so we could park outside hotel with our luggage. Room over looking front of hotel really nice, quiet even though main thoroughfare out front, comfortable bed, en suite modern, decor in room good. Breakfast tasty. Would certainly stay again.

Village location, roadside parking available, small but friendly, bar and restaurant lovely home cooking. Room adequate allthough the shower presdure was not good, clean and tidy, stayed here a few times only criticism kettle needed a clean inside. And I felt a little uneasy as I was challenged on payment the morning after my stay luckily I produced the receipt. Maybe a little miscommunication. Overall nice stay and I would recommend for foreign visitors, as an ideal stop on route to Edinburgh and beyond.

An overnight stop over before a meeting. The hotel is fairly old and looks a little tired but was comfortable enough for our overnight stay. Staff were extremely helpful and the breakfast excellent. Only downside is that parking was very restricted, we were fortunate to find a space outside.

A bar and restaurant in the same building as the hotel. Friendly staff. Easy walk to the train station for travel into Edinburgh.

Lovely little room, great pub, fab breakfast, thank you

Our stay at The Linton Hotel in East Linton was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel is set in a beautiful area, perfect for a relaxing getaway, and we instantly felt welcomed by the warm, friendly team. The customer service was excellent throughout, nothing was too much trouble, and every detail was handled with care. Our room was spotless, with a wonderfully comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was an absolute highlight! fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, the perfect way to start each day.

Stains on carpets and chairs, dirty glasses and cups, no pillow case on one pillow, water pressure in shower just a trickle.

Such welcoming staff who were so helpful in the morning. Breakfast was wonderful, really tasty and lots of variety. The full Scottish breakfast was a firm favourite! The room was super clean and quiet. A lovely stay if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle, which a quaint village feel. This has a family feel to it! Thank you, my 7 year old son would love to stay again.

Had a one night stay here on route to the Highlands. Spotlessly clean and bed very comfy. Choice of cereal/ full Scottish on offer for breakfast. I opted for poached eggs on toast, which was nice. No car park as such, but plenty of on road parking. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.

Food was outstanding, both evening and breakfast. Room was very small, not clean and uncomfortable.

Lovely staff, great atmosphere, super cooked breakfast, wonderful location, spotlessly clean, thank you will stay again.

Place was dirty room 5 was so small you could not swing a cat around in it. Bed was uncomfortable and needed a new mattress.

1 night stay with breakfast, excellent for our requirements. Clean comfortable and friendly service.

The staff were lovely and very helpful. The building was clean, room was ok. Could have done with a wipe over on mirrors and bathroom surfaces. The shower could do with being replaced as it was certainty lacking in power and full of mold/limescale. Also a shower tray would be useful to place toiletries on while showering. It would also be useful to have information in the room in regards to food menu times served and breakfast times etc. Breakfast didnt start till 08.30 so to late for us to even get some cereal as we needed to leave at 08.30 for an event. We did eat at the hotel for tea it was a lovely meal but i would have expected my steak to be cooked to my preference (medium) from a steakhouse, it arrived well done I did not raise this as we went close to last ordering time and most of the steak was moist anyway. Im sure they would have rectified this if I did raise it. We enjoyed walking around the area and there is a park near by that our daughter enjoyed. There is also a coop close by. Parking was easy enough directly outside the building.

Our room was possibly the tiniest hotel room I have ever stayed in. There was a 12-18" space down either side of the bed. We put our bags on the floor at the end of the bed but had to step over them to move around the room. The door hit off the end of the bed when open so only one person could leave the room at a time, a but like using a cattle gate when hiking. There was a tiny TV perched on an equally tiny & ancient table and the tray containing the kettle & teacups overhung the edge of the table which didn't look too safe. The water pressure in the shower amounted to a small dribble. The staff were very nice and we enjoyed our dinner & breakfast in the restaurant. The bar area looked nice too. Although the room price was very low, it would have been better to have known about the size of the room before booking and we would have probably looked elsewhere. The photos feature lots of close-ups which give no indication of the size of the room and are quite misleading.

East Linton is a lovely village in East Lothian. The hotel has nice rooms, ours had a super king bed and overlooked the lovely gardens. The room was nicely decorated and clean, but a little cramped. Breakfast was lovely, but 7.30-8.30 is early when on relaxing break.

Our room, number 3, was on the front of the building, opposite a very busy train track, which resulted in disturbed sleep. Trains ran throughout the night. The window was an old sash window with single glazing, which we had to pad out to stop from rattling. The room was very small, with no room for a bedside table and barely any room to get into the bed, which also wasn't the most comfortable. Breakfast and the lady serving it, was the best part of the stay.

Room was awful. Cramped. Bed was uncomfortable.

Great little village close yo the A1 - perfect for an overnight stop from Scotland. Very friendly staff at check in who showed us to our room which was small and dated Evening meal was delicious but there was a limited choice of drinks- no cider and only one white wine. Breakfast was included which is good but no marmalade or fruit and limited choice. It was tasty though. Preston Mill is situated within easy walking distance and served as a great after breakfast visit.

The member of staff in the bar on arrival was lovely. Nice little pub .Good breakfast. Dinner menu looked good. Sadly we didn’t sleep well as we were just opposite the train line and it was windy, the bedroom windows rattled and also kept us awake. My husband got up in the middle of the night and put cardboard in the gaps to help.

The food and the bar were excellent. Room was small but clean comfortable and adequate. Only complaint was low water pressure for the shower but that did not override the positives. The location was convenient for great golf and tourist attractions. I will go back the next time I am in the area.

Loved the town and area. People very hospitable. Cute hotel and very reasonable but the room was so small the bed hit the door. If you don’t mind extra tight quarters then go for it.

Booked a garden room, but got room overlooking road. No waredrobe to hand clothes, just rail and hangers. No bed-side cupboards, was not a king sized bed. Fir money, very poor value. The smallest en-suite shower room I have ever encountered

We arrived at the hotel limited on road parking.we checked in an paid for our room we where given directions to the room which was on the third floor with the smallest bathroom I have ever seen the light in the bathroom kept switching it’s self of and flickering as well ,the bed just fitted into the alcove with maybe a foot either side making it difficult to get in and out off. There was no headboard and view was over looking the road and railway line .we had to open the window as it was warm so it was a little noisy when the trains went by We went out early the next day came back at around 6pm and the room had not been serviced and nothing was replenished so no coffee or toiletries.the food on our first evening was ok but breakfast was very limited four cereals toast or a Scottish breakfast which had no sausage it was not very tasty and pretty unappealing we didn’t bother going down the next morning and had a lay in until the room next door woke us,breakfast was only served 7.30/8.30am .We had just done a road trip staying in 5 properties over 10 days and this Hotel was the biggest disappointment and the most expensive.

Made to feel very welcome by friendly staff . Excellent breakfast super bath towels great beer. Hope to again.

I booked 3 days stay through Expedia. 1st day was Sunday. As soon as checked in and arrived, I told the receptionist that I will only stay for 2 days and needs a refund for a day. She told me that she already advised the owner. Monday, Sept. 16, 2024 - I reminded them again about my refund for a day and the lady told me that it’s all good and the 1 day refund will be credited back to my account. I called expedia customer service and they contacted the owner (Patrick). He said that he can only approve half of the day because he werent informed about my request (which is not my fault if the staff is too dumb not to tell the owner, and I was advised in the first place that she did informed the owner). So someone is lying or did not do the job well done. It’s been 3 weeks and they never credited any refund at all. I hope their cheap hotel can benefit from that funds that I did not use at all. Been to different countries around the world and I can say that their hotel has the worst service of all time. They don’t even provide daily toiletries. The staff aren’t friendly and can’t even greet you whenever they see you. Worst experience. I like Scotland, but the experience in this hotel makes me feel that I don’t want to visit their place anymore. For people who are planning to go to the area, please dont go to this hotel. This is my most Terrible experience and won’t ever recommend their hotel. Just go to the hotel near the city. Never to this hotel. I swear to God they are the worst

Last minute room booked due to our car breaking down on the way home from edinburgh airport. Staff were lovely and helpful and made us feel at ease at a very stressful time. We were able to pay extra to keep the room for a few hours while we waited for a hire car

Had a lovely stay. Staff very helpful and friendly.

We really, really wanted to like this place and in the end we didn’t. It has a lot of potential and hopefully the family running this place can get it sorted. The staff was friendly but we went into Edinburgh for the evening and had trouble getting in to the hotel when we got back late. We had told them we would be coming back late so we were surprised at the trouble, I wish they had just given us a night key. The room we had was at the top of the building and somehow collected all of the cooking smells from the evening. The mattress was past its prime and uncomfortable. There was something wrong with the water pressure so showering was challenging. Dinner was good and was a good value. Breakfast on the other hand was nothing short of amazing.

Good sized family room, lovely and helpful staff. A packed lunch was made for us both mornings of our stay as we had to leave before breakfast. The food in the restaurant is lovely and service was great.

Couldn't be more helpful and friendly

Friendly staff, great price....perfect for a one night stay

Checking in could have been better organised.

Small pub-hotel, nice location. Our room was quite small but we hadn't paid for the upgrade to a larger room, we would recommend doing this.

A pleasant staying,nice little village!!

We had a very comfortable stay at the Linton hotel. We weren’t hungry when we arrived so asked if we could just have pudding and a pint which was greatly appreciated, homemade and delicious. Lovely breakfast in the morning too. Just outside of Edinburgh, perfect for our onward journey.

Want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Edinburg? Stay just a bit outside to the south east as we did. The staff is quite friendly and the accommodations are clean and comfortable, while very humble and quaint. Extremely small town charm is evident everywhere.

This is a decent, country village hotel. Nothing fancy, but really good value if you need to economise while visiting North Berwick, or playing golf at one of the East Lothian courses.

Lovely wee village and setting. Parking on street right outside the hotel. Friendly, helpful service from everyone. Great big bed in our room and nice en-suit (although the macerator in the toilet was quite noisy) Food in their restaurant excellent standard.

Stayed here on my way to the Museum of Flight the next day as it’s only a couple of miles away. Managed to park in front of hotel but there is no actual car park. Would have had to have found a street parking space otherwise. Room was comfortable & food was good. Staff were very helpful throughout. Reasonable price considering it’s not too far from Edinburgh

staff very pleasant - breakfast delicious

Service from staff and the room were excellent. Food was fantastic, as was the friendly atmosphere in the bar from both staff and locals. Only downside was the showers in both our rooms, from very poor to almost inoperable. Hoping these are shortly to be replaced.

Food was excellent breakfast and evening meal, drinks were good - average price. the rooms were clean and maintained, the only downside is the water pressure in the showers and sink. overall I wold stay again.

We had a lovely stay. Made very welcome by friendly staff. The room was very clean and all we required. The food is excellent. Produce from local sources. The adjoining bar was relaxed and price off drinks very good. We’ll be back. Well done the Linton Hotel and steakhouse.

More 'hostel' than hotel, rather disappointing and not great value. We booked 2 nights, double room in the Linton Hotel and were very disappointed. It's a good job we didn't bring our cat as the room (room 5) certainly didn't have room to swing it! There was hardly space to get into bed and no bedside cabinet on one side. This wasn't a double room, just a small single with a double bed squeezed in. I would estimate the room to be less than half that of an average Travelodge or Premier Inn room. That said, the bed was comfortable and the room quiet. The en-suite was cold being at the end corner of the building and there was no shampoo /soap etc. (We had to ask and even then just got 2 small bars of soap). Towels were provided which were of good quality and size. The TV worked but the remote didn't so we couldn't find a way to adjust the volume. We did ask for this to be fixed in the morning but apparently (we were told) the staff were too busy with a funeral to get it sorted and the handyman wasn't available all day. Breakfast was basic and not well cooked. Fried sausages were hardly cooked and not good quality, quality of the bacon and tomatoes was also 'basic', though they were cooked okay. Haggis and white pudding were very poor imitations of the real thing. There is an award winning butchers in the village - Why not use them? There were only four other people in the dining room hence no excuse for the food not being cooked properly. We had expected better.

Had a really lovely stay, staff were so friendly, room was amazing, everything needed was there. Restaurant served delicious food in the evening and the breakfast was fantastic

The room was nice and very quiet. The food (both evening meal and breakfasts) was very good - evening meal being reasonably priced with lots of options. We've scored Linton Hotel as an average on some basic housekeeping points which hopefully they will learn from. The bedroom was clean and quiet, but basic Hotel housekeeping surely requires at least one full toilet roll....not a part role only with the guests having to ask for one! We stayed two nights, but no housekeeper replenished the tea, coffee and milk . We don't mind cleaning the cups ourselves, but surely this should be a fundamental action if these facilities are in the room, guests shouldn't have to ask for basics! The bathroom and bedroom had nowhere to dry towels and again these were not replenished. If this is not part of Linton Hotel's 'services' at least provide a heated towel rail and tell the guests in advance. Likewise there was a TV with supposed access to hundreds of channels via the Internet......except it didn't work! There were no instructions, my partner did ask one of the staff....who said 'it hardly ever works!' They need to work on these points. We stayed there because we couldn't get two nights anywhere else. Its attention to detail that gets good reviews!
