A lovely big room with a view overlooking the race. Very happy with everything. Staff friendly and helpful.
This 15th-century castle dates back to Mary, Queen of Scots, and is set in 40 acres of stunning parkland. Edinburgh city centre is 8 miles from Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate.

Beautiful accommodation and gardens. The customer service was exceptional. We would definitely come back and spend more time here if we're ever back in the UK.
Located in Musselburgh, within 1.9 km of Portobello Beach and 8.7 km of Edinburgh Playhouse, The Ship Inn provides accommodation with a shared lounge and a bar, and free WiFi.

I would stay again if the mattress was better. A lovely clean room with twin beds and great shower in the bathroom. Surprisingly quiet at night.
On Princes Street, opposite the Scott Monument and National Gallery, Mercure Edinburgh City - Princes Street Hotel has an excellent location, a friendly atmosphere and views of Edinburgh Castle.

The Mercure is an excellent location for visiting Edinburgh..... within walking of all the major attractions. The room was only small but lovely and clean. Was a little noisy at night with the Marks and Spencer delivery trucks coming and going during the night....
Situated in the centre of Edinburgh, the Motel One Edinburgh-Royal is 5 minutes’ walk away from the train station, and only half a mile from the Castle. Guests can reach the historical St.
Located within a 5-minute walk of EICC and a 12-minute walk of Edinburgh Castle, Hampton By Hilton Edinburgh West End in Edinburgh features a fitness centre and rooms with free WiFi.

Just very disappointing, nice looking pictures online but the reality is far removed. Probably ok for 4 lads looking for a place to crash and go into the city but the slightly more discerning amongst you will find this second floor property, complete with ghetto style entrance and stairways rather lacking.

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.
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.
The staff are so welcoming, friendly and helpful here - nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is delicious and very generous, and dinner in the Bistro is exceptional. The hotel is seeped in history (we visited because the Tower appears in our family ancestry), creating a wonderful atmosphere and the substantial grounds are beautiful. Without question, the highlight are the scones served for afternoon tea - we have tasted a lot, including those in top London establishments and these were by far the best, anywhere, ever!
We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Fa’side castle. It is definitely a unique experience to stay in a building with so much history. The location is excellent as well. It is a quick 20 min drive to the city of Edinburgh. I really enjoyed the hospitality offered by Sue and Ian. The breakfast spread in the room allowed us to start our day exploring the Scottish highlands and Edinburgh on the right note.
This place is amazing! It's just like the photos, but even better. The garden's huge and beautiful—perfect for the kids to play or to have a morning coffee. Inside, it's super clean and fancy, with everything easy to use. It's great for a family getaway. The area around is unbeatable. There are these cool hidden spots to catch the sunset and see the whole city.
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 room was comfortable but needed paint scrapped on the window panes. First floor lounge areas were nice. Garden and grounds were great. Dinner was excellent. Breakfast was ok. On the plus side--the hotel is well aware of the need of major update and has already scheduled that for the winter. Then this will be a very romantic hotel.
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.
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.
We booked Carberry Tower as a stopover en route to England and we were so impressed with the hotel! Beautiful building and stunning grounds, delicious food and friendly staff. We had a junior suite for under £200, which we thought was fantastic value. We will definitely be back!
The location was perfect for Musselburgh racing. The room was spotless, and our stay was very comfortable. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. We opted for breakfast in the morning, and I would recommend it. At an additional cost of £10 it was excellent value.
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.
Updated rooms, excellent shower with hot water and good water pressure. Shared kitchen/dining area with sky light and mini fridge. Great location, can take a bus directly from outside the inn to downtown Edinburgh.
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.
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.
Bed was comfortable, with lovely on suite. The breakfast waiter was very friendly and helpful. Good choice of buses from just outside hotel to get to beach or central Edinburgh
Excellent out of town location set in lovely grounds with easy access to local park & ride facilities. Plenty of parking and chill out areas. Restaurant good.
