Had a one night stay here in the Pentland Suite family room. Children were delighted to have their own separate bedroom and both bedrooms were very comfortable.

We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed a good dinner and breakfast, although everyone in the hotel seemed to come for dinner at the same time so kitchen and waiting staff were a little stretched.

Ideally located for the Pentland Ferry service to Orkney, we would definitely stay here again if in the area.

With early morning ferry reservations looming, we stayed at the Castle Arms so that we would be able to start the day fresh and have a sort drive to the ferry. We were comfortable and well cared for during our short stay. We had dinner in the restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed it. It looks out on a lovely garden area as did our room. The room was spacious and once I got rid of my "inner american"... I was able to figure out the shower controls.
The room was spacious and had tea amenities. If you are British or Scottish, of course you would expect this. I think of it as a wonderful extra!
At breakfast, I was in the mood for only some scrambled eggs and I specifically said that I did not want any toast. The cook must have felt sorry to send out only a plate of eggs and nothing else (even though that was all I wanted) and there must have been an entire dozen on my plate! Anyway, my plate was heaped with a pile of fluffy delicious scrambled eggs. Positively heaped!

Stayed here for a night whilst touring around Scotland. Very handy for visiting the Castle of Mey which is just down the road. The annex room was clean, spacious, comfortable and warm (the heating was on, even though it was early June and the weather was unusually warm!) and had the benefit of easy access to the car park and not having to carry luggage upstairs. We had booked a twin which comprised both a double and a single and were given choice of a room with either bath or shower. Plentiful tea, coffee, biscuits etc in the room. Evening meal was lovely - the Steak and Ale pie was tasty and huge! Service could not have been friendlier.

As most other people have said, this is an acceptably quirky place in an area of Scotland with a derth of good hotels. John & Myra certainly make this hotel a joy to visit. Yes the rooms are a bit "Sixty-ish" Yes they could do with a bit of work, but they are clean and tidy and are good value.
The area had a power cut (Due to storms) just when we arrived and John & Myra took it in their stride. A very nice dinner was served by candle light and the whisky tasted even better in the dim light. The power came back on in time for bed and a good night was had by all.
All in all a delightful stay in a traditional Scottish Inn hosted by traditional Scottish hosts
