Top Gullane Sands Hotel Reviews

Open Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location . The room was wonderful and the staff friendly and attentive. Both breakfast and evening meal were excellent. Would recommend to others and hope to return ."

The Crown & Kitchen

10/10 Excellent

"A top traveller’s rest inn. Located in a quaint quiet village with some nice walks and scenery. Had a clean and spacious room with everything we needed for an overnight stay. Food and atmosphere in the adjoining pub was excellent as were all the staff there."

Ravelston House

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were brilliant and very helpful with everything we asked for. However, whilst in the bar there was a long wait to be served and guests were having to locate the bar assistant from other parts of the hotel. It may be advantageous to instruct a staff member to be present permamntly, especially when busy. On the Saturday it was busy and the restaurant ran out of eight basic foods items' resulting in two options available. This was at 7.30pm. Please note we did very much enjoy our stay, but these things would refrain us from recommending you to our friends. Thank you for a relaxing stay."

The Lodge at Craigielaw

10/10 Excellent

"Upgraded our room once the error in booking was realised. Good breakfast and dining areas. Clean and tidy. We were the only family there I feel amongst the golfers, which was expected but felt welcome nonetheless. We sea/dunes/golf course view from our room."

Orchard House Lodges

8/10 Good

"Great location with bonus of Highland cattle right outside. Lodges looked tired, especially the outside. Need a paint job, some weeding and a few flowers outside would make all the difference. Beds comfy and lodge pretty well equipped. Overall, a nice stay but could be better."

The Folly Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room 4, which had a sea view, was small but perfectly adequate for 2 adults as was the bathroom. The continental breakfast provided in the room consisted of instant porridge, cereal bars and 2 rather sad croissants with plenty of tea, coffee and milk. The 2 people at reception were very helpful with suggestions for free parking only a couple of blocks away. The station is less than a 5 minute walk with regular trains to Edinburgh (30 minute ride). A perfect base for the Edinburgh Fringe festival!"

The Linton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Small hotel ( essentially rooms above the bar and restaurant) in a pretty East Lothian village. Easy on-street parking, straightforward check-in , decent size room. Amenities are a little basic and I was frustrated that the shower in my room had very low water flow. Nice to have a cooked breakfast available every day. I didn't eat in the evening but the dinner menu looked tempting and good value."

The Law

10/10 Excellent

"There is nothing to dislike about this hotel or the staff."

Maitlandfield House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Average place, but all fine."
