"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes.

However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Top Musselburgh Sands Hotel Reviews

Aynetree Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Greeted very warmly upon arrival, the room itself was spotlessly clean and fairly large with a very modern ensuite. The owner was very kind and personable. We really enjoyed staying here, the property is lovely and well maintained. The location is ideal, very closely located to shops, as well as the beach. The bus stop into the city centre is located right outside the property making it very easily accessible. Would definitely recommend others to stay here, thank you!"

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely superb hotel, stunning interior, fitting modern amenities in with the historic interior design. Excellent on site restaurant with the exceptional waiter. The food was excellent especially the venison casserole with broccoli and then the chocolate chilli for dessert 🍨. Not forgetting the superb breakfast."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property was wonderful... and the staff, even better! Great location! Would certainly stay here again in the future. My only complaint would be that the room felt a bit warm. I searched the room for a thermostat or way to adjust the temperature, but found nothing. Maybe I just didn't know where to look... haha! But my husband and I were able to crack the window to let in some cooler air. Also, there was a fan provided in the room."

2 Mins Walk from Edinburgh's Best Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"This property was ideal for a home base as we drove throughout Scotland. The kitchen was well equipped for all our needs and ASDA was nearby for shopping needs. Also, ASDA was a great fuel station for our rental.Also, the property is ideally located for walks to local stores and to the beach. While exploring Edinburgh, we walked to a nearby bus stop and utilized Edinburgh's excellent bus service. The only difficulty was the very limited parking but Patrick had addressed that before we rented so we knew that would be a problem. We worked around it and proved it to be a minor problem.Thank you Patrick for a great place to stay!"
