Top Gullane Sands Hotel Reviews

Marine North Berwick

10/10 Excellent

"Complimentary breakfast before our round of golf was delicious. Spa was clean, staff friendly, and the setting special. I’ve stayed at this property twice now, and will continue to explore all the Marine & Lawn resorts!"

Luxury Yellowcraig Loft close to beaches and golf at Gullane/Muirfield

10/10 Excellent

"Great place in a great location."

Family Holiday Home - 3BR Walk to Beach - Wi-Fi

10/10 Excellent

"I think our plans to to Scotland were all made two weeks before we left. Finding this affordable and cozy home was very simple with Vrbo, an app I had never used before. Our stay for two weeks was easy to arrange and approved promptly. Ashley, the owner, made herself available for any and all questions we had. Based on our experience and conversations we’ve had with Ashley, we would definitely stay at her place again. Thank you for being a wonderful host Ashley. Cheers"

Greywalls Hotel and Chez Roux

10/10 Excellent

"If you come to this region, you have to stay here for the memory of lifetime."

The Law

8/10 Good

"Great location in a beautiful little town, very friendly staff (especially the lady on shift for breakfast), clean room. Would go again."

The Folly Hotel

8/10 Good

"I liked the room food and mini fridge options for breakfast and snacks. Suited my early departure plan. Also I was able to put my bike inside at reception ground level., since it’s a small on street building. The room was functional but the sink had a slight smell which would be good to investigate. Great position."

Orchard House Lodges

10/10 Excellent

"Thanks to the host and their lodge, we had a wonderful time! We had the chance to observe the cows, we really enjoyed it. The room had all the amenities needed, we were able to make ourselves dinner during our stay. That was a plus for us. The parking was accessible and the check in message they sent us had all the necessities to access the propriety. It is a must if you are going to visit that part of Scotland!"

The Lodge at Craigielaw

8/10 Good

"Perhaps we should have asked for a disabled room as there was no shower mat, grab handles or seat in the shower, also the toilet seat mounts need tightening up, room 28. Apart from that everything else was great! The room was well equipped and the bed was comfortable, staff were very polite and the view from the window onto the golf course and estuary were spectacular, glad I took my binoculars, I saw 3 cruise ships leaving Leith and loads of other vessels! Thank you all for a nice relaxed weekend away!"

The Leddie Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable clean and well equipped room. Great bar with an excellent selection of whiskies. Excellent food with a small menu. Good service from a friendly, well informed staff who were a great credit to the hotel. Difficult and limited parking. Will certainly visit again."
