Bankton Rooms & Lodges

We had a wonderful stay. The bedroom was beautiful, spotless, and spacious, with a lovely bathroom. The food was excellent, and it was a pleasure to relax outside in the sunshine while enjoying the best coffee I have tasted and an amazing pizza. The staff were absolutely lovely. The location is ideal, being so close to the train station for easy trips into Edinburgh. We are already looking forward to our next stay.

Absolutely nothing.

Quietest accommodation on our Scotland trip, friendly and helpful staff, fantastic location near the train station, walking paths and supermarkets.

Loved the building, the architecture, the decor. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The grounds were lovely. The bistro was delightful. Meals were beautiful and the young waitress went out her way to answer questions we had regarding our stay.

Lack of contact with staff. Everything is done through the portal. The only human contact we had was with the bar staff and waitress. No breakfast options, meaning you pay per person for a breakfast on the go, which consisted of a small pot of Greek yoghurt with granola and fruit, a chocolate croissant and a small bottle of fruit juice. Please note there is a garden centre local which does a fabulous breakfast for less. The £150 security fee which was just released this morning.

The location was good and chosen because it was near to family.

The property was unmanned which wasn’t an issue…until it was. The shower door came off its rails, however, with nobody to tell we made the best of the situation. The morning after I fixed it myself. The breakfast bag ordered didn’t arrive. A breakdown of communications, perhaps. Eventually, it was brought to the door, largely because the person looking out for messages went out of her way to make it happen.
