Had a really comfortable stay, the room was lovely, I stayed for 3 nights and had a comfortable sleep each night. The room had air con which was much appreciated. Lovely large walk in shower with shower gel / shampoo. Nice size TV. My only issue was food at the adjoining restaurant. I had a pizza which was chewy and the edges inedible, one morning with my breakfast I asked for an extra piece of toast for which I was charged £3.95! I think very excessive for a slice of toast! But I would certainly stay at the hotel again and highly recommend.

Lovely family friendly hotel. Rooms kept nice & clean + all staff really friendly, if looking for a nice meal the on site restaurant does a lovely breakfast & main meal with good choices on the menu. Location wise not too far from Edinburgh City Centre/Airport etc plus roughly 30 minute drive along the coast to North Berwick which has some stunning beaches 👌👌

Really lovely place, staff very friendly. Really easy to get to by car, but satnav doesn't quite tell you the right way. You need to go to Dobbies which is next door, and there are signs to get there. Parking easy, rooms lovely, breakfast great - all in all, a great short stay.

Stopped at the Melville Inn for dinner after a day out. It was great that we were allowed inside with our dog 🐕 they had dog treats at the entrance that felt welcoming for people stopping in with their furry friend 🐶 food was lovely and staff were friendly. I will definitely return if back in the area again 😊

A favourite place to visit. Unfortunately on this occasion the food was not up to the usual high standard. My wife's Sea Bass was course and the prawn sauce was unappetising. My Hunters Chicken was overcooked and therefore tough. Service and staff were excellent and very attentive.

Despite it's name, The Melville Inn as a gastro pub, rather than a a place to stay, so no stars for rooms. I have used The Melville Inn several times over the past few years, and always find the staff to be professional, but not distant. With a genuine willingness to help. The food has always been good. I've given a score of 4 stars for location. Although The Melville Inn is not situated centrally (that's why it doesn't get 5 stars), I don't consider it an awkward place to get to, and I use public transport. It is, after all, a country pub.

Fantastic food and great location, staff are all very friendly and being dog friendly was an added bonus meaning our family could take our dog along.

Good service from Blair. If the food were any better it would be average. Crushed potato rather than mashed potato. I had turkey and mushroom pie. All the mushroom,whole closed cup mushrooms, were at one side of the Pie and all the chunks of turkey at the other.

Stopped by whilst out on the motorbikes for a quick lunch. Unlike some places, there were no disparaging looks because of our bike gear, in fact our waitress, a young lady whose name, unfortunately escapes me, had a lovely conversation with us about the bikes. The food was very good, a decent choice of 0% alcohol beers, and great service. Can't ask for much more.

Went for dinner here last Saturday. Originally booked a table for four people at 7pm, however, we had two extra people that wanted to join so went inside to speak with the staff to see if they could accommodate. They were friendly, and advised they could accommodate six people if we moved our table sitting time to 7.30pm, which we agreed to. We arrived and were told where our table was, all okay. Lots of people in the restaurant, as expected on a Saturday night, though we did not expect to be left waiting till nearly 8.20pm for someone to come over to our table! No one even came over to recognise we were waiting. We ordered and waited a while for the food to come out. When the food was delivered, no one asked us if we required anything else (like sauce or drinks). Some guests went to the bar to order their drinks, and to also ask for some ketchup for me. The ketchup never came, so I had to get up over half way through my dinner to ask again. One of our guests sent their starter back (that they ordered to come out at the same time as their main), and another had so much fat on their steak it was ridiculous. My dinner was missing onion rings, the gherkin, and sauce it should have come with, though I didn’t realise this till I went back to my room and looked back at the menu. Two guests ordered fish, which had undercooked batter and dry flesh. When we raised the fish issue to the server when he came to clear us, his explanation sounded a bit ‘fishy’, making us think the fish actually comes in frozen and isn’t prepared on site. I went back into the restaurant about 45 minutes after we left to complain. I didn’t want to complain in front of our guests. The staff explained that they had multiple people call in sick, so they were pushed for service, but that they would pass my comments over to their GM so they could contact me to discuss further, surprisingly, no one has reached out. The customer service from this restaurant is really lacking. The only positive from my experience here was that I could take my dog into the restaurant. There were poo bags, treats, bowls, and water available at the front door, which was a nice touch.

Great location just off Edinburgh bypass, lots of safe parking, warm welcome, rooms very clean & cheerful. We were on level 2 and used efficient lifts due to health issues, pub and beautiful spacious gardens superb. Very handy for bus into Edinburgh just across the road, a 29 or 3 goes every 15 mins took only 30mins to get to Princess St £2 each way. Breakfast was lovely hot or cold and great choice, nice eating area, tables spaced out well and very attentive staff. The pub clearly has an excellent reputation not just for people staying there but day shoppers, outlets close by. Can make waiting for food a little lengthy at peak times. Very dog friendly as well with good signage telling you this and free treats! The only tip I would suggest for other visitors is to bring a make up mirror to position by window as lighting in bathroom mirror is poor. The windows do not open but there is Aircon, it was sunny outside and rooms were comfortable for sleeping. Great place great location would definitely return.

The room was a great size and comfy. The bar and restaurant next door is great. Really friendly staff and delicious food. The atmosphere is very charming, with space for families and fur babies 😁. All in all a really nice place to stay for a weekend away.

Photo doesn’t show the extra gravy and green veg that followed. Roast beef cooked to perfection and Turkey was not dry as this can be a problem elsewhere. Great selection of non-alcoholic drinks compared to other places too! Will definitely be back and would recommend to others. Thank you for a lovely afternoon :)

Family dinner for Mother’s Day…was very busy but did not feel we were crammed in, we all ordered the Mother’s Day 3course which was great value for money albeit we all would have preferred if there was an option for a two course as well as the three course as three courses is sometimes a bit too much eating! Food was delicious,(thank you to the chef!) we all had the ‘Sunday roast’. Our server was Pedro he was very attentive but not on top of us, he had such a friendly manner and interacted well with his customers! He had such a great way with my 10 month old grandaughter, Such a lovely guy!!
