Good pub. Won’t be for everyone as the clientele is mainly older fellows, but it’s nice for a cosy drink when you’re in Dalkeith town centre. When the Justinlees was shut, me and my boyfriend and our dog visited (yep the pub is dog friendly, there was a lovely dog walking about off leash so if you aren’t into dogs I would avoid) - I’m not sure if it still operates as a hotel, on looking for bookings online it was closed. The women’s toilets are upstairs, and there’s no lift, so if you were disabled or older and not good with stairs you’d struggle here. I think they have men’s toilets upstairs and downstairs too. It would also be difficult to enter if disabled or in a wheelchair and only has a very narrow front entrance. Upstairs, there is a lot of lovely stained glass in the doors of the toilets. Only one cubicle in the women’s, can’t speak for the men’s however as I said, there is another men’s toilet downstairs. The flusher was a bit broken and it was a bit dark but the toilet was perfectly clean and serviceable. This isn’t a huge pub, but it is the sort of pub where everyone seems to know each other and gives the vibe of having many stories told in it, and many generations of families visiting over the years. It’s quite small in terms of seats, we ended up near the dartboard, but it’s very cosy. Don’t go here if you’re expecting your hipster filament bulbs and craft beers. I hate places like that so I was pleased to find the Harrow Hotel had none of that. As I said it’s in the town centre near Morrisons, bus stops, various shops and restaurants so you have plenty to do round here. The pub is often quite busy and noisy on weekend evenings, so I would arrive early to ensure you get a seat. Gives a very different vibe to my regular pub (Justinlees inn) but it’s an equal favourite. I must go again soon! One star removed because the bar stools/ stools at the tables near dartboard are sooo uncomfortable. Would be great to get some chairs with backs. Julia

Good, traditional pub. No craft beers, but 70 shilling, tartan special and export are all the excellent.

Never before have I been served an Anaemic Guinness. Warm, with a split tepid head and an atmosphere as dead as half of the customers.

Harrow is a nice pub in Dalkeith. It's been there forever. The locals are friendly and I'd say it attracts the older clientele. Prices are pretty reasonable and always busy on the weekends. There is horse racing and football shown in here. Great wee local pub.

I popped in here with a friend it used to be my local I'm dismayed & shocked The bar was crammed mostly elderly customers ( who traditionally don't spend much) the Dart board seems to have gone There used to be many young people ( bigger spenders) playing darts The pub had a team and home matches brought the cash in and similarly a Dominoes team The lounge is dismal a shadow of its former self Shut down Thus used to be booked out for private functions ( being next to register office and churches) The carpets are filthy & worn The other upstairs room used to be hired for meetings All functions were catered for and food menus in the bar I don't know if the Harrow is just badly run or the owner has just given up I'd love feedback from the owner

I have been at the Harrow for three months, everything is good. The cleaners do a great job and the proprietor is a professional and approachable man. They are currently making improvements throughout the hotel with a minimum of disturbance to the guests. Big hotels could learn a thing or two from the Harrow about how to make guests feel welcome and respected.

Location is perfect for the chapel. Room 1, was a newly decorated room, but comfort was absent. The owners went with cheap thin mattresses and pillows, left at 6am after giving up hope of any sleep. The interesting light feature: former corridor emergency light, just raised the discomfort level adding to the lack of sleep as it permanently lit the room in hideous luminous green.This room also boasts: smallest, coldest shower, cracked and chipped floor tiles, matching yellow silicon around the toilet base and corners. After eating in the restuarant, I can recommend sticking to the bar. Steak pie was overcooked, poorly seasoned, lacked texture, colour and flavour, puff pastry top had lost its puff, and was inedible. I did try contacting the owner, twice, but they couldn't be bothered to respond or acknowledge any issue. Be aware reviews are censored through their booking website. In sum: it's a pub, with rooms, no care for customer service, not comfortable and simply not worth the money. Suggest you avoid unless an insomniac.
