Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate, hotel in Musselburgh

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.

Lovely location - very interesting building if in need a bit of TLC. Nice grounds and garden - which also needed attention. Hotel was a little like a Hollywood film star, who’s star is on the down rather than the up - a little bit tired and faded splendour. Kat and Amy on reception were extremely helpful with anything we needed.

Mercure Edinburgh City - Princes Street Hotel, hotel in Musselburgh

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.

I don’t know why the rating is a little bit low for this hotel because to me it’s really good. Our room is very spacious and clean. They also provided amenities. The reception is also very nice too.

    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.

    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.

    A well run hotel with relaxing atmosphere, sociable & very pleasant staff only too willing to make our stay enjoyable. Clean bedroom & surroundings with a lovely fresh smell as you enter the hotel. Very good restaurant with well priced meals. Tasty cooked breakfast to start the day & served until late morning, no rush. Edinburgh is within easy access with a regular bus route running just outside the hotel. There's plenty of parking area with digital security registration.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We loved everything about Arden house, style, room size, excellent breakfast, the host are wonderfully accommodating. I highly recommend Arden House to any of my friends, who wish to visit Edinburgh . I'm definitely going back. Staying at Arden house made my first visit to Scotland very special indeed 😀 Happy

    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.

    Stunning building and grounds. It was worth stay just for that. I will always remember this hotel as the northern lights were on show and we got a lovely view from the beautiful garden. I only wish I had photos to share. The staff were really attentive.

    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.
