Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Grosser Parkopatz und grosses Pup. Das Essen am Abend war gut.
Bett zu klein für zwei Personen. Inbegriffenes Frühstück sehr mager, lount sich nicht.
Very comfortable and clean. Great location with the restaurant next door, a supermarket and fast food outlet across the road.
Room was clean and the staff were pleasant.
The rooms were in a separate building from the bar /reception. This wasn't clear on booking. Very basic for price paid. Had to walk across if you needed anything, which got annoying after a few trips - there was a phone in the hall but it didn't work. Breakfast was awful - poor quality and expensive. Tea, coffee, juice etc was extra. Much better value to go to McDonalds across the road.
Breakfast had good choices and was very good Room was clean and comfortable Dinner was very good
Not a lot was as we had expected
Staff friendly
Limited amount of refreshments in the room....tea coffee for one cup for one person not two when clearly double room an two names. Only towells for 1 shower You have to go over to reception in another part to get more
Breakfast good and friendly service not enough for continental breakfast
The entrance to rooms needs cleaned up and more seating area room
Location
Nothing
It was in a very good location for my works
omlette was burnt, portions were small, staff were friendly [only positive] as a result in staying for 10 nights only had 2 breakfasts
The dinner was good, big menu with plenty choice.
The bathroom is needing update and the shower pressure is poor The breakfast was disappointing
Central location, comfortable rooms and friendly courteous staff
Restaurant was very busy, did not appear to have enough staff and had to wait for main meal to be served
Все було добре, зупинились із дітьми на 1 ніч. Гарне розташування.
Clean and comfy. Spacious room.
Window didn’t open much.
Loved paying nearly£200 a night for this luxury and £6.74 for a pint!! £4.00 in a local pub. I drank and dined elsewhere after the first night.If I had not payed in advance I would have gone and found somewhere else.
Air conditioner did not function. Extractor fan in bathroom did not function, nor did it in a replacement room which I eventually got after five days. No illumination for the bathroom mirror in either room. All the above are due to lack of maintenance and a penny pinching by management; in my opinion .These above items had required attention before I arrived!
The bedroom was perfect for my spacial issues
Had to walk to another building to check in, key fob had to be reset twice and back to order new towels
Bar/ restaurant/ staff, comfortable bed.
Room needed a upgrade, Expensive for size and decor, poor toiletries
Unfortunately not a lot of good things to say about this hotel.
Extremely overpriced for the standard of hotel. We paid £175 for one night in a double room, excluding breakfast, purely because it was the only nearby option for a wedding. The room was very basic and dated, and unfortunately the experience got worse from there. We paid an additional £20 for early check-in, which had been arranged in advance so we could get ready before the wedding. We were extremely tight for time, yet when we arrived there was no note on the booking to indicate that the room had been arranged for early check-in, and there was no sense of urgency from the staff. We were eventually given access to a room that hadn’t been cleaned from the previous guests. We had to change in the room and use a bathroom that still had the previous guests’ towels strewn around it. The cleaning staff were actually very apologetic and helpful, despite the situation clearly not being their fault. For £195 before breakfast, I would expect a significantly better standard and level of service. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t stay here again.
rooms spotless very peaceful
a bit pricey for one night with no breakfast
Breakfast food good; all staff excellent - very friendly and helpful
Room key cards worked intermittently causing issues for family members; only one choice of coffee available at breakfast - machine broken apparently; no orange or other fruit juice available free as you would expect for breakfast for a big chain like Marston's, if we wanted some would have to pay extra - ridiculous; over-charged for early check-ins and still awaiting refund
Clean and powerful water pressure for tge shower
Bath/shower. Bathroom extractor not good at all. Whole room steams up.
Staff pleasant and helpful. Rooms comfortable.
Family room not made up as promised and then provided with a dirty, stained mattress on the floor - very poor.
The Breakfast
The staffs attitude due to a problem with the reservation by Booking . Com Breakfast had been included with the reservation, but the Staff were adamant that it hadn’t and would have to be paid at an additional cost Room was what prepared as per booking. Booked a Twin Room with single beds, but was given a room with 1no. Double bed WiFi was impossible to connect too We were made to feel very uncomfortable and only after complaining for over an hour and showing proof of booking schedule were our problems resolved!! We will not be using this hotel again, nor would we recommend it too anyone who would not be able to stand their ground to get what they paid for
All ok
Needs a painting here and there
Very nice beds, clean, coffee bags a lovely touch
Goed gelegen locatie, wel buiten de dorpskern.
Het is een locatie die meer geschikt is voor werknemers op doorreis en minder een toeristische locatie, vlakbij een supermarkt en een Mac Donalds
Nor much
When I arrived I had to check in at the reception desk near the bar. There was a pub quiz going on and there was a loud speaker blaring the music quiz about 1m from my hear. It was nearer to me than the receptionist. She had to leave her seat and and speak directly into my ear. In the room the tv had section of screen that did not work. The remote control would not switch off the TV. The room was seriously overpriced.
Breakfast and staff were very obliging. Food great
We were both happy
It was adequate although it was expensive for the level of accommodation.
Easy access
Very clean. Good food in the restaurant. Staff friendly and efficient.
The air conditioning. The beds were comfortable.
The room and bathroom were really dirty and rundown. Walls and doors had dirty finger and hand marks in multiple spots. Carpet was wet in a few spots. There was a lot of mold in the bathroom. The room was also very dusty and clearly was not cleaned deeply for a very long time.
Er valt niet veel over te zeggen. Het is door ons gebruikt als tussenstop en het ziet er wel zo'n plek uit ook.
The location was perfect for our trip
As it was the Scottish golf open, all accommodation prices in the area were vastly higher than usual

Aircon
Nothing
Nice staff, nice Bar. Accommodation was nice and serviceable for a day in Dunbar with near by tesco and petrol station
Staff extremely friendly & helpful
Very small room - small bed which was very uncomfortable.
Il personale molto gentile e disponibile. Posizione. Il parcheggio la stanza.
Nulla era tutto decisamente soddisfacente
Het vriendelijke personeel. De kamer was ook zeer mooi
Rooms immaculately clean and beds comfortable. Food delicious and staff friendly and attentive.
The advertising picture is misleading. The actual rooms are in a very bland block overlooking a parking lot. The room had no cupboards nor sufficient space for suitcases. Not recommended for anything other than a one night stopover. We left early.
ALL the staff were very helpful and polite and so nice
all was really good
Friendly staff, we encountered some problems with our room like the tv remote not working and hotel room door not locking (both battery issues) however once aware, staff fixed the problem right away. Hotel is in a great location with walkable, local amenities and free parking.
Nothing comes to mind.
Staff were friendly and helpful
The Food wasn't as expected, in Scotland I would expect porridge to be made on site not out of a pot, the omelette for breakfast was disgusting and burnt
The staff were friendly and helpful.

Food was poor, beds were shocking air con not working heat in room was horrendous
The location was fine for our purpose.
General standards were average.
Clean comfortable room.Quiet.
Breakfast has changed, no juice unless paid for separately & it was full of ice
The rooms were very clean, staff friendly and having cycle storage was good as on long distance cycle ride
Nothing
Hyvä pysäköintipaikka. Mukava henkilökunta.
Rooms were spacious with a great shower. Food was excellent with a fantastic breakfast.
Nada
Convenient location for us as close to the A1. The staff were able to provide an iron and ironboard which were very useful as we were attending a wedding. On Sunday a member of staff visited a supermarket to purchase yoghurt as none was available for breakfast.
The quality of the breakfast was good but it took ages to cook. On Saturday we requested more tea but it did not arrive.
Easy access to A1
I had requested Oat milk prior to arrival and at breakfast was told they had run out and had no other alternative milk to offer me. So I had no tea or cereal for my breakfast,!
Close to the pub, good dinner and breakfast, plenty of parking.
The car parking as many hotels don't have that Room was clean and tidy
Burgers and lorne sausage were a bit overcooked Gammon in mixed grill very salty but apart from that dinner and breakfast good
Location
Very basic
Good location close to main road . Comfortable spacious room and clean . Friendly staff
Not having breakfast included in the bed rate . The window of our room was right in front of the electric charging station & we’d have loved a blind or net curtain for more privacy ….
Accommodation away from main pub.
Only allowed 1 hot or cold drink with breakfast otherwise it’s an extra charge.
We stayed at The Pine Marten Hotel for 2 nights as we had a wedding to attend locally. The hotel was in a great location, right next to Asda and McDonald’s. We had dinner at the Restaurant which was lovely. Check in and out was very easy and everything was well sign posted.
Location
Having to go through a busy bar with young children to get to reception for the room key
It's super easy to accommodate 6 of us in separate rooms for work.
Location Plenty of free parking Easy, efficient check-in All staff friendly / efficient / professional. Room in separate accommodation block away from pub / restaurant Good security to access room Room had all required amenities.
More electrical outlets would have been preferred. Heating not very efficient - but at what now appears to be national hotel standard. Bathroom was "Wet Room" - would have been better if shower curtains met floor to contain water better, rather than wet whole floor of bathroom.
Clean room, fabulous shower!! Comfortable bed, good air-conditioning. Excellent breakfast that set you up for the day. Friendly and professional staff. All of them.
No covered walkway between the 2 buildings.
Location and staff
Nothing comes to mind
The room was lovely and comfortable. The location is good. The breakfast was lovely.
Other noisy guests who thought it was appropriate to bang and giggle louder as they came through main door between 11 and 12 at night
Personal sehr zuvorkommend und unkompliziert konnten wir die Bikes sicher unterstellen
Lage teilweise älterer Bodenbelag
Accommodation was.clean. okay for a night. Basic, but comfortable bed. Happy with security as needed touch pad twice to get through doors to access bedrooms. Staff friendly.
Check in is actually in hotel. So we needed an iron, so we had to go to the hotel to get it brought over to the room. Bfast misleading pricing. One family member went there first. More expensive than the £10.75 for Scottish bfast. As it reads as if included, but juice coffee is only included if you also purchase the continental. Its written on the otherside of the menu this info. They paid over £30. So rest of the family went to the garden centre/asda for bfast. Shower pressure is not the greatest.
Great location, easy to find, good value for money.
It was perfectly located close to the A1 for our purposes
It was what we expected and paid for.
It is always clean & warm
Nothing
The rooms were large and comfortable with excellent refreshments, the food in the restaurant was lovely- great vegan options , the room had a bath, the staff were friendly, helpful and efficient
Nothing
Clean bedroom etc
The shower over the bath , I did not like as I had a bad leg. A handrail fitted would be useful
Extremely convenient next to A1 for travellers to Edinburgh / North East
Hard to fault
The staff where lovely and really helpful and cheerful. The dinner was fine-in the nicest way possible you know what you get with a Marstons its the same everywhere. It was nearby to McDonalds and shops so there where other options for food and things. The rom was clean enough and a bath is always wecome with a young child.
Being a vegetarian there wasn't a great deal of options on the menu for me and the room was a little tired and some of the silicone could use replacement but other than that good comfy stay with loads of parking.
Good disability facilities. Plenty of parking. Excellent staff.
Location.
Room was nice and quiet and breakfast was good value
Pleasant stay so nothing negative to report
Accommodation. Room was very disappointing considering the price Food very average
£100 each per night and no breakfast!!! Definitely not value for money. Original package offered breakfast. One given did not but price went up. Not value for these premises.
10/10 service in the resterant and hotel

I thought the rooms were very comfortable and Quiet..
Nothing really
The staff were really helpful and could not have done enough to make our stay pleasant.the room was spotless would recommend it to anyone
Nothing was all good
Comfy beds, restaurant nextdoor, easy car parking, reasonable price. It also had an Asda opposite so I could grab the food for our next stop.
It wasn’t obvious that I had to pick up the keys from the restaurant. It really wasn’t a biggy, it became quite obvious very quickly, they had probably sent me a message but I hadn’t spotted it, I’m useless at picking those up.
Clean and comfortable room.
Tissues and a toilet brush would have been useful.
Not much
Everything. Rooms drab, dated and need serious refurbishment. Bath shower dirty with sealent bkack, mouldy, peeling off. Bed uncomfortable, old sheets duvet cover with holes in Breakfast terrible, hard boiled poached eggs cheap bread, awful coffee. £185 for one night. Ridiculous
room was huge and clean, staff were amazing and friendly and the food was of course exceptional! definitely stay again soon. thank you

Nothing!!
Brilliant staff at restaurant . Particularly Aiden ( apologies if I got the name wrong 🤗)
Breakfast poached eggs on second night were not runny , but that's my preference I suppose . Could have offered yogurt with fruits . Very heavy cereal and bread options. Will say that the service was excellent !!!
Das Scotish Breakfast ist empfehlenswert
Lovely staff
Booked roo. For 2 adults and 2 kids only bedding for 3 people with 1 towel Breakfast was a massive choice we had the full Scottish and it was terrible dry and way overdone
