Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We always stay at this property when visiting the area of Edinburgh. Well located for public transport, amazing staff, big spacious rooms, nice food and drink, lovely spa with pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, even the local spa users are very friendly and make you feel welcome. I would recommend this hotel over ALL the hotels in East Lothian and Edinburgh. Buses run into the centre of Edinburgh 24/7, a stones throw away from the local train station and taxis/Uber are very cheap into the City. Also right on the door step of Portobello and Musselburgh which are beautiful towns to explore, 5-10 minute walk to Portabello Promenade and beach."

Kilconquhar Castle Estate

Kilconquhar Castle Estate

10/10 Excellent
"Very welcoming and friendly staff. Room is great but a little tired in places but it is very clean and tidy. The grounds are beautiful with lovely walks.there is a play park in the trees, tennis courts, frisbee golf and putting. There is also a small soft play room for under 7’s. The swimming pool and changing rooms are very clean with towels provided. Breakfast is served in the restaurant. You order from a menu rather than having a buffet breakfast. The staff again were welcoming and friendly. The hotel is in a good location,close to St Andrews, Anstruther and Elie. We will definitely return."
