Hotel terbaik di Penicuik

We stayed at the Riccarton Inn for three nights in July as we were attending a wedding at the nearby Free Company.  After originally booking a city centre hotel we decided to look at something a little closer and found The Riccarton which looked to be nearby, with nice rooms and at a good price. Before booking we contacted the venue via FaceBook to see if there were any room suggestions and we were told that rooms 1, 2 & 5 are double rooms but they suggested room 1 as the best pick out of the three if it was available…… it was, so we booked it. Getting to the venue was relatively easy, it was a 15 ish minute walk from Currie Hill train station although the majority was uphill so probably not the best route to take if you have reduced mobility.  There is a bus stop just over the road from the venue and if you catch the 44 from the city centre it drops you right there (the bus stop right outside the venue, i.e. on the same side of the road, takes you back into the centre on the 44 bus.  Buses are easy with TapTapCap so you can use your debit / credit card or device (always use the same card or device to make sure the cap applies).  A single journey is £1.80 and it caps at £4.40 for a full days travel.  We said that the next time we stay at the venue we’d definitely finish our journey on the bus instead of the train.  Oh, the venue is also on the N44 route which is the night bus service, ideal if you go out for a few drinks and it saves on taxis.  There are a few different local taxi services as well as Uber, the couple of times we used a taxi we did use Uber in the end as they were actually cheaper and we found them a little more reliable. Check in was really simple, we didn’t prepay but the cost of the room was charged to the card we booked with on the morning before we arrived.  All we needed to do was pop a signature onto the booking confirmation at the bar and we were handed our keys, one for the main door to the venue (it gets locked at midnight so you can let yourself in) and one to the room.  We didn’t pre-request breakfast but we decided to add it on for two of the mornings and paid for it at the bar…….. I would highly recommend the breakfast, at £8.95 per person it is most definitely worth it (more on that later). The room itself (room 1) was a decent size, it had a very comfortable bed, a built-in closet and plenty of drawer space.  The en-suite bathroom had a good size bath with over bath power shower, toilet and wash basin… again all spotlessly clean.  The towels were really fluffy and properly dried you instead of just moving the water around which is always a good plus.  At night the room did get a little warm but as long as you don’t mind your window open and you leave the bathroom door and window open you do cool down a little.  There are tea/coffee making facilities in the room and a hairdryer is also provided.  The WiFi code is provided on a welcome card which we found in one of the drawers in the desk.

Stayed here prior to collecting guests from Edinburgh. It is the most amazing house, I believe George Gillespie built it for his mother in the 1790s(?) and you are staying in a family home, with the most amazing furniture, books, eclectic ornaments, but with all the home comforts. Huge, high bed in my room, I felt like a princess climbing into it, and slept wonderfully, waking up to birds. Kettle provided, my only gripe was a small cup, but then I mainline coffee in the morning! Breakfast was in a beautiful room, perfectly laid out, huge choice of cereal, fresh fruit, and the cooked breakfast was perfect. It was an easy walk into Colinton, ten minutes, and I imagine easy to get into Edinburgh. Small gates to get into the property, I didn’t want to tempt fate by trying to get my van through them, but lots of parking on the road outside. The host, whose name I didn’t get, was such a gentleman, I only wish I’d had more time to speak to him about the history of the house. Ten minutes walk to see the Colinton Tunnel which is Scotlands longest mural, well worth a visit. Absolutely recommend staying here, it’s beautiful with a gorgeous puppy and a cat that ignored me ;) clean, quiet, and you’re staying in a historical house that I wish I’d had more time to explore, especially all the books.

Beautiful place from the outside. The rooms could be nice, if the upkeep was better. Getting from the lobby to your room is a trek, which includes walking through the conference/party room. For a family room, the set-up was very poorly planned and not at all convenient.

The castle is amazing you just step back in time.. Filled with beautiful decor and antiques from days gone by.. This venue is very authentic, lovely rooms, comfy beds, very clean.. Excellent customer service and the receptionist was very obliging walked us to our room, the restaurant. Gave us a tour and told us all about the history. The restaurant had an amazing atmosphere, set in the cellars under the castle. The food was excellent and well presented. Breakfast was also served with many choices on the menu.. We really enjoyed our two nights stay and would highly recommend a stay in this historical setting..

It was very nice room. Clean, Comfortable, Silent. This room is operated by chinese host. Host was so nice and gentle. He tries his best to make me comfortable. it takes 20 min to get to the city centre by bus. I want to stay here once again.

Mathew and Laura were by far the most friendliest people we met in the hotel/ hospitality business. So welcoming with a great smile. They were available to assist us at any time we needed their assistance with an undivided attention
