Spectacular

We enjoyed a fabulous stay. Thank you to all the staff. The children said they had the best night's sleep ever and enjoyed the best dinner ever. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. The views are breathtaking and the relaxed environment left us feeling immediately at home. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you all once again.
Julie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We liked everything about the property & surroundings. One annoying problem was sound of voices & doors closing outside our room in the corridor very late at night & very early in the morning.
Christine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Vielleicht darf man bei dem im günstigen Preis inkludierten Frühstück dann keine Ansprüche mehr stellen. Der Kaffee war lauwarm und es gab neben Cerealien, nur a la Carte. Die Auswahl hierbei ging aber in Ordnung. Insgesamt ein tolles Erlebnis, auch, weil die Lage absolut perfekt ist, wenn man Abgeschiedenheit in Ruhe bevorzugt. Schöner Golfplatz direkt angrenzend und darüber hinaus Meerblick. Tolle Zimmer zum fairen Preis, im November.

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.

6/10 Good

Beautiful Gholf coarse, bed needs new matras. But in general staff are very friendly, helpful.

Stunning

This has been my favourite find so far. The location is stunning, environment relaxing, the staff are fantastic. I have enjoyed many return visits to dine in the lovely restaurant and to stay. The children feel this is like a home from home and treat some of the staff like family.

Stayed here as we had a wedding nearby. We were able to check in early and the room was very clean and a good size.

Cannot fault, would totally recommend

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.

We had a one night stay at Craigielaw. Thouroughly enjoyed our time there. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spacious well equiped and spotless. 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.

Perfect for a quiet weekend away

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.

Pleasant stay. We were wary about staying at a golf course hotel (not being golfers) but we had a lovely stay. Friendly staff, close to E Lothian towns, lovely evening meal, easy parking. A good alternative to over priced Edinburgh hotels.

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
