Top Gullane Sands Hotel Reviews

The Law

8/10 Good

"This was a stop over on the way to a holiday further north in Scotland. The bed was comfortable and the staff friendly. The rooms and bathrooms are a little tired but perfectly functional. One of our rooms was to the front of the hotel opposite the local supermarket and cash point (the cashpoint is regularly used and weirdly noisy) - the supermarket opens early - if you are a light sleeper the noise will wake you up. Interestingly we booked 2 rooms at the same price and they differed massively in terms of space and bathroom size - one was certainly worth more than the other. All in all it was a comfortable stay with friendly staff and a very hearty breakfast included. I probably wouldn't stay again as the price is on the high side for what it offers,"

Open Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous lobby. Lovely setting. Good breakfast. Pleasant hosts. Until we got to the room. The room was tiny. Like, a little bigger than a walk-in closet kind of tiny. We needed to walk sideways to cross the room. The room was also very spartan with few frills to speak of. We were there for one night so it was all we needed."

The Crown & Kitchen

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

The Lodge at Craigielaw

10/10 Excellent

"Both of the ladies (Shirley) and ( I forgot her name) at the front desk greeted us with a smile and genuinely very very helpful and made us feel like we were family. The breakfast was very good and hearty! The gents in the pro shop were first class and were very knowledgeable ! I hope to be back!"

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Super pleasant stay with comfortable bed and seating areas. Will recommend this hotel to others."

Orchard House Lodges

8/10 Good

"The lodge was quiet, clean and private. The host was fantastic and very responsive."

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."

Faside Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional history, plenty of snacks and food items left in room for breakfast, highly recommend staying here!"

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."
