Stayed here prior to collecting guests from Edinburgh. It is the most amazing house, I believe George Gillespie built it for his mother in the 1790s(?) and you are staying in a family home, with the most amazing furniture, books, eclectic ornaments, but with all the home comforts. Huge, high bed in my room, I felt like a princess climbing into it, and slept wonderfully, waking up to birds. Kettle provided, my only gripe was a small cup, but then I mainline coffee in the morning! Breakfast was in a beautiful room, perfectly laid out, huge choice of cereal, fresh fruit, and the cooked breakfast was perfect. It was an easy walk into Colinton, ten minutes, and I imagine easy to get into Edinburgh. Small gates to get into the property, I didn’t want to tempt fate by trying to get my van through them, but lots of parking on the road outside. The host, whose name I didn’t get, was such a gentleman, I only wish I’d had more time to speak to him about the history of the house. Ten minutes walk to see the Colinton Tunnel which is Scotlands longest mural, well worth a visit. Absolutely recommend staying here, it’s beautiful with a gorgeous puppy and a cat that ignored me ;) clean, quiet, and you’re staying in a historical house that I wish I’d had more time to explore, especially all the books.

This is the most fabulous place & setting for a couple of nights stay, sadly let down by staff & services. It doesn’t surprise me to see what others have reviewed. This place clearly has been & could be so much more. I’ve no doubt the pandemic has hit them hard & they are struggling to recruit enough of the correct staff. The positives: Lovely historic setting & ambience. On site Spa & Falconry. Lovely airy clean rooms. Food ok to good. Plenty of parking. Breakfast included. The negatives: Poor staffing & services. Some staff just try too hard with ‘Amazing’ & Fantastic’ in their vocabulary constantly. Probably to appease the American market. The Orangery restaurant is very poorly run. Staff do their best, albeit could work with a little more haste, they just can’t cope. Similar excuses about booked tables that are never taken! Staff are generally un-knowledgable about services & timings & things were always going wrong. We laughed most of it off & just called it Fawty Towers, what’s next? :) They could do so much more with the veranda, the bar & Orangery. Bare in mind you are out in the country & taxis can be limited & costly. To summarise - we would stay again for the right price, probably out of the Festival season. Keep doing your best guys & gals but owners beware, you need to manage this place so much better

It's far from the city center, not very convenient. There are no supermarkets or restaurants nearby. I feel like living in a barren mountain. There is no elevator in the hotel and it is very difficult to carry luggage. The breakfast is rich, but the quality of coffee is poor. The dinner is good and the service attitude is average.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. We arrived far earlier than the 3pm check-in due to an early flight, and asked on the off chance if we would be able to get into our room any earlier. Not expecting at all for it to be done so quickly! They jumped into action whilst we explored the stunning grounds & had a lovely breakfast, and within the hour we were in our room. Housekeeping had created a lovely Swan display using the towels and rose petals, with a handwritten birthday card for my boyfriend as we were there to celebrate his 30th birthday. The staff could not do enough for us, especially the very kind lady on reception who was just brilliant and the trip felt so easy and comfortable as a result. Thank you SO much for a wonderful and memorable weekend, I truly cannot recommend this hotel enough. Worth every penny and just a short uber (20-25 mins) to the city, zoo, and most main attractions. We will be back!

We used this hotel following arrival at the airport from overseas and night prior to departure . It was ideal. Nice location, friendly staff. It was pleasant to walk around the wooded campus and neighborhoods of adjacent Herriot-Watt University. We will be back. ... I would note however, that some may feel the privacy in the bathroom is a bit compromised by the construction of the bathroom doors and side panels (opaque material which lets the light shine through, and large see-through cracks between the door and the adjacent wall - not completely private).

We stayed two nights at The Lane Hotel and it was a great experience. The room was sparkly clean, the bed was really comfy, shower & bath was great and all the staff were really kind and helpful! The hotel is located in a very nice residential area in Edinburgh with lots of cafe and restaurants nearby, would definitely recommend The Lane Hotel to anyone who wants to stay in Edinburgh!
