    Location just off restaurant and staff as well as the establishment. Plus, 15 minutes drive from Dalhousie Castle Falconry. Excellent service, luxurious king room with copper bath and sky TV plus good facilities.

    Wi-Fi was very poor.

    log fire
    homemade soup
    good value
    busy road
    lack of amenities

    I had a nice evening by the roaring log fire and enjoyed the homemade soup for starters. The lamb dinner was satisfying and they catered to my dietary needs smoothly. It was good value for the experience. The staff were helpful.

    The busy road nearby impacted the overall ambiance, and I noted a lack of hotel amenities in the area.

    delicious gnocchi

    Just a reliable pick for a short interlude in Dalkeith with great value for money. The gnocchi I had was amazing, with perfect textures and a delicious cheese sauce. Bring a fan if you stay in a warmer room.

    The stay at The Sun Inn was quite enjoyable, with delicious food and friendly staff making us feel welcome. The room felt too warm, and the service during breakfast was a bit slow, which detracted from the experience.

    The perfect location for our family party made it an excellent choice. The secure car park added to the convenience, while the powerful shower and warm room were great. Breakfast was enjoyable, but the juice and coffee options could use improvement. The.

    great breakfast
    nice rooms

    The sun inn offers nice rooms, and the breakfast was great. I was impressed with the service as well. It's located close to dedicated vegetarian restaurants, a plus for me. I enjoyed a lovely dinner one night that stood out.

    struggling reputation

    The Junior Suite with Terrace was spacious and well-appointed, with a lovely patio. The breakfast was particularly enjoyable, and the friendly staff provided attentive service. The hotel lacks amenities, and its location on a busy road detracts from the overall experience. While the dinner was nice, the hotel seems to be struggling with its past reputation as a top gastropub.

    fair price
    hall noise

    Cozy vibes and good coffee

    The new lounge area is super bright and comfy. Enjoyed a flat white that hit the spot! Food was really good for lunch too, good quality at a fair price. Only downside was a bit of noise from the hall, but it wasn't too bad considering the atmosphere.

    Charming Stay with Attentive Staff!

    We enjoyed our night in a beautifully decorated room. The staff offered a warm welcome. Tip, Request a room away from the road to minimize noise. Breakfast could use a bit of improvement, but the ambience made it worthwhile!
