The bed, pillows etc were great. The personnel were very helpful, sweet and accommodating. The room was very nice and the whole boat gave a sort of Agatha Christie-vibe (in a positive way^^). The bar served amazing drinks! The location was good too, only a few minutes from the tram station.

When we stayed at your hotel, we were genuinely impressed by the exceptional service we received—particularly from Leah, who I believe was the manager on duty that day. She was absolutely amazing: warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Leah was full of useful information and ensured we signed up for the IHG membership, which we truly appreciated. Even after we checked out, she kindly let us stay in the lounge while we waited for our airport taxi. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and her professionalism and friendliness really stood out. We were also deeply appreciative of how far both Leah and her team that day gone—literally and figuratively—to provide such a high standard of care. Their efforts did not go unnoticed, and we left feeling genuinely looked after. Thank you so much for a memorable stay! We will be back !

Edinburgh is, without a doubt, one of my favourite cities in...

Edinburgh is, without a doubt, one of my favourite cities in the world — a place that feels like stepping into a storybook. Every corner has a soul, every street whispers history. From the cobblestones of the Old Town to the elegance of the Georgian New Town, the city is a seamless blend of past and present. There’s something almost magical about the way the mist rolls over the castle in the early morning, or how the light turns golden at sunset along Princes Street. The atmosphere is both mysterious and comforting — it’s a city that feels alive, yet calm; ancient, yet full of creative energy. Walking through the narrow closes, you can almost feel the centuries of stories that have unfolded there. Cafés tucked away in quiet courtyards, traditional pubs with live music, and the ever-present scent of rain mixed with roasted coffee make every stroll feel cinematic. Arthur’s Seat offers one of the most breathtaking views you could ever imagine — standing there, with the wind on your face and the whole city spread out below, it’s impossible not to fall in love. The people are warm and genuine, the food scene surprisingly vibrant, and the city itself seems designed to inspire. Whether you’re exploring ancient castles, browsing vintage shops, or simply sitting by the Water of Leith watching the world go by, Edinburgh has a way of capturing your heart quietly, deeply, and forever. It’s not just a city you visit — it’s a place you feel.

Livingston is a quaint, calm neighbourhood.

Livingston is a quaint, calm neighbourhood. Although not easy to access an Uber, there are bus stops if you walk a few minutes, and Livingston North train station is of course a stop for the different rail services. We walked for about 15-20 mins to get to a station. Save the number of taxi operators ahead of your trip, if you're travelling with lots of luggage and want convenient drop offs and pick ups from/to your space in Livingston.

An absolute delight to visit, lots to see and do.

An absolute delight to visit, lots to see and do. We will be returning and probably staying in Dunbar itself, as we were staying about 10 minutes out of town at a holiday site. Very nice, but would have preferred to not have to drive so much. Belhaven Beach is really lovely, with the Bridge To Nowhere, and we went to East Beach and walked round the castle. Just brilliant. Such a lovely friendly town, be sure to visit the John Muir Museum. We had a day in Edinburgh, but should have stayed longer to see more of it all.

Lovely quiet resort close to amenities with an excellent bus service.
