Cannot fault this hotel. From check in to check out all of the staff were friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. The whole experience was relaxing with amazing views over the golf course and the sea beyond. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfortable, slept like a log. The food in the restaurant was good value, cooked fresh and was well presented - delicious.

Beautiful hotel in lovely surroundings. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Booked to stay one night as we were attending an even locally but wish we had stayed the whole weekend. The hotel is modern, clean and spacious. The rooms are well fitted out with thoughtful attention to detail. The food in the restaurant was great quality with good portion sizes and very tasty. I’d love to see an alternative to plastic single use milk portions and toiletries.

Superb value for money. Our room was spotlessly clean and serviced every day. It was great that our towels weren't replaced when we hung them up. I would highly recommend having an evening meal there as both of our choices were delicious. Great location - we went into Edinburgh three times and used the park and ride at Wallyford which is a 15 minute drive away. Stunning views from the restaurant. We shall definitely recommend The Lodge to anyone who wants to stay in the area.

We only had one breakfast, so cant comment on the dinner service, but we were very satisfied and would have no hesitation in recommending Craigielaw.

The hotel is nice. The rooms are spacious and clean. But the bed was atrocious. You could feel every spring. I slept for 1h before waking up with back pain. After trying to layer every duvet and blanket on top of the mattress, my partner went to reception to find us another room. The room we were given was sleepable, but the mattress was sloping and I had to place a pillow on my side so I wouldn't roll out of it. If I wasn't staying with more people, we would have left and probably slept in the car and I think we would have slept better. The people on the other room also complained of their bed. Breakfast was cold and generic. There were two girls and a guy waiting, but only the guy seemed to be working and running to serve everyone while the girls stood at the bar watching. We ran out of coffee, juice, sugar, milk, eggs, bacon.. and there wasn't much of a rush in replacing it. My brother was meant to be staying there next week.. I told him to find somewhere else. Wouldn't go back if it was the only place left. The car and a garage coffee would have been better.

Superb value for money. Our room was spotlessly clean and serviced every day. It was great that our towels weren't replaced when we hung them up. I would highly recommend having an evening meal there as both of our choices were delicious. Great location - we went into Edinburgh three times and used the park and ride at Wallyford which is a 15 minute drive away. Stunning views from the restaurant. We shall definitely recommend The Lodge to anyone who wants to stay in the area.

Courteous and helpful staff. Particular mention for Josh who, amongst other helpful actions, provided Cullen Skink for my wife when it wasn't even on the menu! Very friendly staff all round, made us feel welcome.

Cannot fault this hotel. From check in to check out all of the staff were friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. The whole experience was relaxing with amazing views over the golf course and the sea beyond. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfortable, slept like a log. The food in the restaurant was good value, cooked fresh and was well presented - delicious.

Attending wedding in area and chose to stay here for few nights. We’ve had a first class stay. Room was spacious fresh and clean. Staff went above and beyond. Both nights had dinner and again complements to the chef. Would definitely return.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. The room was very large and comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had two meals at the restaurant and they were lovely. The staff were wonderful, very friendly and helpful. All in all a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Disappointed with breakfast considering the amount of money I was charged. I think if they knew the chefs were going to be off this should have reflected in the price I was charged. Vastly over pricey

The hotel is nice. The rooms are spacious and clean. But the bed was atrocious. You could feel every spring. I slept for 1h before waking up with back pain. After trying to layer every duvet and blanket on top of the mattress, my partner went to reception to find us another room. The room we were given was sleepable, but the mattress was sloping and I had to place a pillow on my side so I wouldn't roll out of it. If I wasn't staying with more people, we would have left and probably slept in the car and I think we would have slept better. The people on the other room also complained of their bed. Breakfast was cold and generic. There were two girls and a guy waiting, but only the guy seemed to be working and running to serve everyone while the girls stood at the bar watching. We ran out of coffee, juice, sugar, milk, eggs, bacon.. and there wasn't much of a rush in replacing it. My brother was meant to be staying there next week.. I told him to find somewhere else. Wouldn't go back if it was the only place left. The car and a garage coffee would have been better.

Perhaps we should have asked for a disabled room as there was no shower mat, grab handles or seat in the shower, also the toilet seat mounts need tightening up, room 28. Apart from that everything else was great! The room was well equipped and the bed was comfortable, staff were very polite and the view from the window onto the golf course and estuary were spectacular, glad I took my binoculars, I saw 3 cruise ships leaving Leith and loads of other vessels! Thank you all for a nice relaxed weekend away!
