This hotel meets all expectations and more. Peaceful, homely and comfortable. Nothing is too much trouble for the friendly staff who are only too willing to oblige. The food is cooked to perfection. If you cannot see it on the menu, the chef will oblige by prior request. The bar has a good selection of wines, spirits and beers at prices you would expect as being normal. The full cooked breakfast is highly recommended to start the day and will keep you going on your venture out until returning for the evening meal. The room was very clean, warm and tastefully furnished. The bed was very comfortable and two good nights sleep was enjoyed. This hotel is ideally situated for a trip into Edinburgh and it is adviseable to take the train. The station is literally 2 mins walk at the end of the High Street of Aberdour. The trains run every hour at twenty past the hour. Return journey for two cost £13.50. Return to Aberdour from Edinburgh Platform 16 is every quarter past the hour. Saves driving and paying costly parking fees in Edinburgh. So, all in all the Woodside Hotel, boasts an excellent base and a very warm welcome after a day out sightseeing etc. Highly recommended !!

stayed here for two nights in september 2011. couldnt have wished for a better place to stay everyone was lovely .even though it was 8pm when we arrived they booked us in for dinner. the room was warm and comforrtable with everything you could want and if you wanted anything else tou only had to ask. nothing was too much trouble.in the dining room they have the most beautiful staind glass ceiling from a ships dining room.its worth staying there just to see that.i will definetly be going back when i'm up there again.

I stayed at the Woodside for a long weekend with my partner. The room was very comfortable, clean and very reasonably priced. From the moment we stepped into the hotel we felt welcomed, the staff were so helpful and would do anything for us. We decided to eat in the beautiful stained glassed ceiling bar and came away very full and satisfied! I recommend their Haggis Fritters and special Woodside Chicken Curry!!! We are planning on going back there again.

The staff are friendly without being intrusive, they ask if every thing is ok and mean it, there is a sense that they are genuinely interested in your comfort and will fix anything if needs be. The hotel has a lovely ambience and you feel instantly relaxed on entry. Everywhere is clean and the beds and rooms comfortable. Would thoroughly recommend a visit and with easy train access to Edinburgh from the local station it makes a quiet place to stay after a busy day sightseeing in the capital.
