The room was okay and clean. However, there were some issues with the breakfast service. The food was not freshly cooked and seemed to have been pre-cooked and left on plates before being served. The bacon was hard, the potato scones were hard and lukewarm, and the poached eggs on toast were overcooked. When we complained, the waitress said the cook never listens, and the duty manager seemed unconcerned, stating that nobody else had complained. Additionally, when we asked for a refill of tea, the waitress simply added hot water to the pot with the same tea bags. For the price of over £200 per night for bed and breakfast, this level of service is completely unacceptable. While it may be adequate for a military club, it must improve significantly for paying guests.

We found this restaurant recommended on TripAdvisor while searching for a hotel in Edinburgh. We were informed when booking that we would be staying in the Annexe, just a short distance from the main entrance and down a flight of outdoor steps. The room was small but comfortable, with a cozy bed and a quiet atmosphere at night. The room had a shower but no bathtub, as well as three upholstered chairs. While one chair was armless and suitable for a desk, the other two armchairs were narrow, potentially uncomfortable for those with wider hips. The breakfasts were excellent, with fresh fruit salad served daily but lacking a bowl of whole fruits such as oranges and bananas. The hot breakfast options were freshly prepared and delicious, including a fantastic porridge, full Scottish breakfast, and scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. The tea and coffee were freshly brewed, a nice touch compared to self-service machines in many hotels. We also enjoyed dinner at the restaurant one evening, particularly enjoying the venison and pheasant bourguignon starters. Additionally, we spent a relaxing afternoon in the cozy lounge in the main building, which featured comfortable sofas and a good selection of magazines.
