“If the restaurant is any indication, a stay here promises a delightful experience; the white chocolate waffle alone makes the journey worthwhile. I'm impressed this is a family-run establishment near Rosslyn Chapel, and the dog-friendly stance is a significant advantage for many. From what I've gathered, the flexible check-in and themed rooms would certainly enhance any visit to the area.”

Fantastic stay, GREAT value!
vegan optionsdelicious currygenerous portiongood presentation
I found a good table at the restaurant even though it was quite busy. The menu had many options including choices for vegans. I definitely recommend the Katsu curry as it tasted delicious. The portion was generous and the food presentation was very good.
The bathroom was a little dated, with the shower losing pressure ONCE.
