Only ever gone for the horse racing but already looking at a long weekend here as it is only a short hop into Edinburgh and not too far from North Berwick, so good central point.
I still need to see more of the old historic Musselburgh too.

I was born in Musselburgh and come to visit family. However we do activities while here. Musselburgh is a typical Scottish town with the road going through the centre of shops. Like many towns a lot are closed. It is pleasant with the river running through and many places to walk. It is close to the beach which is relatively clean. It is a good based to get into Edinburgh and a bus service which means you don't have to take the car. On the other side is the coast road which takes you to some lovely places. Alao a bit of history there.

The town seems a little run down in places but the racecourse and the harbour looked good. Train links to Edinburgh and the east coast. Close to A1 motorway and Edinburgh bypass. Has a good selection of supermarkets quite close together, Aldi, Lidl, Tesco and an Asda just off A1 motorway. Navigation around town fairly easy and driving through also.

Needed transport into Edinburgh.
Needed transport into Edinburgh. Had to ask reception about this although had looked online before hand but obviously not familiar with the area.
Nothing available about this in a folder.
One of the receptionist was new and didn’t know the answer but another did.
Musselburgh was ok on day we visited but just a small town.
Nice walk along The Forth of Firth to Joppa and Porto where you could get a drink/cake or an ice cream.

Gorgeous historical building and grounds.
You can get a bit lost around all the stairs, so be sure to ask for a ground or first floor room if you have needs and/ or like access to outside more.
Room and bathroom was a little too hot and small but better than cold I guess! Just felt a tad claustrophobic in single wee room that was located through quite a lot of passage ways - good for some people but not for others. Just be sure to speak to the hotel about room needs. There was some sort of fan or something going on through the night, not sure if outside or other room.
Hotel was a wonderland and staff are fantastic, kind and courteous.
Due to the things I mention above I feel it was a little over priced. But I guess your paying for the up keep of such a beautiful historical building and its staff.

Accommodation was convenient for the Ladies Golf Open, held at Muirfield 2022., which we attended.
Would have been convenient for playing golf in that area which appears to have plenty of courses to choose from.
this was our final stay after 10 days in Scotland. The property and the rooms were super clean and well maintained. the staff were very accommodating and changed our dinner reservation on the fly (highly recommend making reservations if you plan to eat). The lounges were super posh and we had a nice relax after dinner. next time we would likely stay here 2 days the next time we’re in Edinburgh.
It was a great opportunity to stay in a renovated castle, with the use of two floors & the roof top which had excellent views over Edinburgh & Blackness Bay.
The 7ft bed was really comfy & basically we had everything we needed including loads of breakfast & lots of hot water for a relaxing bath after a long day.
Our hosts Iain & Sue were also lovely and made us feel very welcome indeed.
The view is just gorgeous here. The location is great for getting into Edinburgh on main bus routes. Beds were comfy and showers good. The living area was super comfortable and the dining area was great, with a well equipped kitchen.
We travelled with 3 young children and had more than enough space and it was a lovely comfortable place to relax when we weren’t out.
hotel was very good value for money, exceeded expectations,good sized room with tea/coffee very clean well decorated housekeeping staff warm /friendly, nothing too much trouble for them overall an excellent hotel well recommended & will definately consider a further stay when in the area, local bus stopped directly outside hotel for trip into Edinburgh
The best place in musselburgh to stay in.
Very clean tidy and amazing host. Alice will make sure you’re feeling welcomed and at home.
We took a large room with multiple beds. Amazing view. Great breakfast and very close from shops.
If you like to walk it’s 30 min to the train station or down the street for a bus ride.
Beautiful rooms overlooking the gardens, lawn and the large cedar tree and beyond. Staff made us very welcome despite an incredibly busy weekend. Breakfast selection all very fresh with lots of choice. Very secluded and peaceful, with an interesting history yet close to Musselburgh and all its attractions.
Amazing place very historical ( Roman ruins, Queen Mary, Elizabeth and Margaret rooms, Battle of Pinkie, Outlander fans, Davinci code nearby, 7 mins from Edinburgh Waverly Train Station) “Best kept secret” Restaurant food was incredible. Great little hike to see the ruins and Queen Mary marker.
The room is very spacious, 1 king size bed + 2 single beds, good for family. Amenities are good. My friends wanted to join me last min and the hotel didn't charge more. Breakfast IS fleshly made. Given that there are not many hotels in musselburgh, Revelston still a very good place to stay.
Spectacular place, honestly it was way nicer then I thought it was going to be. The owner was super friendly and knowledgeable about the property. A little out of town but easy to reach with a train and a little taxi ride but so calm and peaceful after the chaos that is Edinburgh.
The cottage is twee however I was expecting that, its charming and in keeping with the period of the property. The garden is indeed beautiful and being in time for the tulips was an extra bonus. Great location for exploring Edinburgh and East Lothian.
Lovely house alongside the river which was clean and modern. Great place for a family trip to Edinburgh. We know Edinburgh well as we have lots of family here but have never been to Musselburgh before, we would stay again.
I was in the area birdwatching and the apartment was ideally situated especially for Fisherrow harbour and Musselburgh, but also for other places around the coast such as Aberlady Bay and Gullane.
Communal-area for breakfast and throughout the day for tea and coffee well equipped
Staff were nice friendly and approachable
Would recommend to friends and family if heading to Edinburgh
Very clean bedroom and comfortable bed. The hotel was in a good position and quite near the beach so could have a walk there.The bar an restaurant we’re good and staff friendly. Food good.
The hotel was perfect and met all our expectations. It was close enough to the city and was an easy drive in. Dinner was great in the restaurant and the place had so much character.
The staff we’re really friendly, the breakfast options we’re decent and the location of the hotel was in a good location for easy transport to Edinburgh Town center.
