Sweet Chestnut, Dunfermline by Marston's Inns

Check in easy, breakfast very good value for the price, staff friendly and clean room

The staff is really froendly

I didn't have breakfast but room was good, comfortable bed, could do with more coffee sachets and milk but over all good

Had continental 3 days but no marmalade on menu or fresh fruit for 2 of the days. Green tea is not a lot to ask for.

Stayed here a few times. This time i arrived and checked No problem the guy was really friendly Arrived at my room to drop my case off. On arriving back I found the room was cold. Went to shut the window and noticed there was no handle on the window. So it didn’t shut fully. Also the air con unit (I think that’s what it is) just above the front door was making an awful noise the majority of the night.

Didn't stay for breakfast due to problems with room. Are elsewhere

Very good internet and reasonably priced pub food, Carcery is a must try. The manager and staff were generally pleasant and helpful. There seemed to be a slight communication issue with housekeeping, the bed wasn’t made, and only the tissues were replaced while the used cups and glasses were left behind. It appears we may have needed to inform the team at the dining area directly. However, the staff were responsive and addressed our concerns once raised. Conveniently located near many restaurants. We parked at Dalmeny, free street parking and took a train yo Edinburgh city, just 2 stations away and around 20 min. Convenient if you have a car Very close to bridges, nice visit to Queenferry

Great wee hotel. Quiet, clean and friendly service. Breakfast was really good and made for you; not on a buffet style. It was therefore hot when it arrived. Close to shops and places to eat so fab.

Room extremely clean and bed very comfy. Check in staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast excellent value for money. Service given with a smile.

Great place to stay for working nearby

Excellent food and service hotel was also very comfortable

The reception is inside the restaurant. Easy parking and very convenient to dining options.

Very good for price but food was not so good had ordered carvery but when we went to the counter the food was cold and no mash no cauliflower cheese . Chef said they had been very busy .

Very comfortable, would stay again

Shower was very poor the water was standing in the bottom of the shower and wouldn’t drain away correctly The beds was very uncomfortable overall it wasn’t very nice

Perfect for an overnight stop

The bed here was very comfortable and much better than numerous Travelodges we've stayed in recently. Despite it being a twin turned into a double the join wasn't very noticeable and the mattress was very comfortable. The only gripe for me was the shower head did look aged and the drain in the wet room didn't clear the floor quickly enough so you're stood in 2inches of water by the time you've finished but grab bars in all the right places. As a wheelchair user I found everything very accessible and would stay again. You do need to go into the pub for check in and handing the key back. We didn't eat there but did plan to, maybe next time!

As a place to stay this is ideal it has easy access from the motorway network and a range of eateries on the retail park. The staff were more than pleasant and check in was easy,however prior to arrival i received over 20 emails requesting various things relating to the four rooms I had booked including an invitation to book breakfast, on-line check and departure. I made one booking but all four rooms were billed separately activating fraud alert at my card issuer that i then had to resolve. to say it annoyed me would be an understatement. I even phoned there call centre and they told me to ignore the online check in, get it sorted. The adjacent carvery that is owned and run by Marstons seem extremely popular with the locals the chap running it was clearly well known to the customers and his mashed potatoes were divine. It is a nice quiet place to stay.

Hotel is ok at this price, location is convenient for eating out.

Checked in in the evening and staff were helpful. Room was basic, which was expected. I did seem to have a problem with my key, but the bar and reception staff were really helpful to resolve. The Aircon in the room seemed to only produce heat (minimum temp 22 degrees Celsius), which made the room very stuffy. Opening the window was the only way to cool the room, but being close to a busy dual carriageway, road noise was then a bit load. At breakfast, there was only 1 staff member around for serving people, who definitely didn't want to be there and customers seemed to be a massive inconvenience for her. There were items unavailable and the breakfast overall just seemed to have a hostile and negative atmosphere. Avocado on toast with eggs was nice, the pancakes were a rip off (3 measly small pancakes with some mushed frozen berry thing on them). Overall, room and breakfast was a bit expensive for what it was, we did sleep okay, but breakfast was a huge let down, and worse still, I saw that we could have got a significant discount on breakfast if we'd have booked it with the room, which was not an option on Expedia.

Although advertised the hotel does not have Aircon. And unable to open the window as it was damaged The hotel itself is next door to the pub, thus there are no staff in the hotel itself. The staff did not want to know, and actively ignore any issues as they are too busy in the pub There appears be little or no maintenance in the hotel. There were two contractor groups who had been there for a couple of weeks and had complained daily about issues, but nothing had ever been done

The hotel facilities were acceptable for the price. However, there was some noise from outside late at night, and the hotel lacked an elevator, which could be a bit inconvenient for travelers with heavy luggage.

Licalisation central

Food in the pub part was just about ok. Very much tasted like it was re-heated and dry. If it were served fresh it would have been good. Shower pressure was terrible. Everything else was good.

Room was outdated, everything seemed very old, wouldn’t stay there again. In fact, out of 5 hotels I’ve stayed in the UK, this is the only one I wouldn’t go back to.

Check in was smooth. Friendly staff. Immediately went to room and within minutes of being in the room, 2 men walked in leaving my child stood scared as I was in the bathroom at the time. Whilst scrambling to get decent they said oh we’re here to fix your window. I shouted please come back in 5 mins. They never returned. One of these people had checked us in just minutes before so knew we had checked in. There was no handle on the window which left it permanently open. It wouldn’t have mattered as it was warm and I probably wouldn’t have noticed but it turned out to be a boy racer spot. Which I also wouldn’t have minded if they hadn’t played tunes to each other all night with their horns. It went on until after 1am. Then at 8am the grass cutters were out to cut the grass under the window. We also had a main light out in the room. The temperature control wasn’t working. The bathroom had no fan so the shower filled with steam. I’m just glad it didn’t set anything off. The curtains and net blind were so grimy and stained it was a bit disgusting. It’s the second Marston Inn I’ve stayed in within a month and I was hoping the first one was just a one off but it seems to be across the chain. Rooms should be checked after turnover. Either the staff need more time to fully clean up or they need paid more for more incentive to keep their employers happy.

Rebecca was super friendly and helped us out when we needed it. Facilities are great!

It was a nice enough room but very cramped. It didn't feel like a family room - just a normal room with extra beds squeezed in to be honest. The room was clean and tidy the the restaurant and breakfast excellent and very cost friendly. Our room was next to the door, so it was a little noisy - especially with people leaving early. Other than that - it was a good room, affordable, and I'm a good location

Very convenient

Clean and comfortable accommodation for stop off on journey

Looked this hotel and would return to same if I can find a Marston anywhere. Everything was just near perfect, just the show which isn’t adjustable for smell people.

Reasonable, good hotel.
