Staff was very attentive to every need. Reception welcomed us with a nice drink and walked us to our room. We had a room that had a turret that you could get in and look out at the beautiful landscape. Max, the bartender, was great to talk with. He looked up information and printed it for us before we asked. Breakfast was wonderful.

The staff immediately welcomed us with a complementary drink, and helped take luggage up stairs (no elevator, but plenty of rooms ground floor if stairs are an issue). They have a high quality coffee maker available all day, and drinks bar for evening to relax in. I opted for breakfast. In addition to a buffet with meats, bread, cereal, fruit, pastries, they had a number of cooked breakfast options. I recommend the "Scottish". Overall, more than enough to eat and start the day. Staff were very accomodating to requests and extemely friendly. I will stay here again next trip to Edinburgh.
