Faside Estate, hotel in Musselburgh

Around 10 miles east of Edinburgh city center, the 14th-century castle on Faside Estate provides luxurious bed and breakfast accommodations.

The castle was an amazing experience! The great room was full of culture and history. The bedroom was gorgeous! The bed was huge and even had heated blankets on both sides that could be turned on separately. The roof top views were even better than on top of Arthur’s seat in Edinburgh!

The Ship Inn, hotel in Musselburgh

Located in Musselburgh, within 1.2 miles of Portobello Beach and 5.4 miles of Edinburgh Playhouse, The Ship Inn provides accommodations with a shared lounge and a bar, and free WiFi.

Bit of a curate's egg of a stay this - excellent in parts but far more things going against it. Excellent first evening with a very friendly and attentive check-in and excellent drinks and food enjoyed in the restaurant. Yet after that things got increasingly worse... I had chosen The Ship Inn as our stay at the next door Ravelston House the previous month included cold early morning showers. I DO try to support local businesses wherever possible and try to avoid the 3 Premier Inns in the district. But at least their beds are comfortable and their showers are always hot. Good options for carry-out dining in the town, and also along at Portobello.

    Just very disappointing, nice looking pictures online but the reality is far removed. Probably ok for 4 lads looking for a place to crash and go into the city but the slightly more discerning amongst you will find this second floor property, complete with ghetto style entrance and stairways rather lacking.

    Only ever gone for the horse racing but already looking at a long weekend here as it is only a short hop into Edinburgh and not too far from North Berwick, so good central point. I still need to see more of the old historic Musselburgh too.

    I was born in Musselburgh and come to visit family.

    I was born in Musselburgh and come to visit family. However we do activities while here. Musselburgh is a typical Scottish town with the road going through the centre of shops. Like many towns a lot are closed. It is pleasant with the river running through and many places to walk. It is close to the beach which is relatively clean. It is a good based to get into Edinburgh and a bus service which means you don't have to take the car. On the other side is the coast road which takes you to some lovely places. Alao a bit of history there.

    The town seems a little run down in places but the racecourse and the harbour looked good. Train links to Edinburgh and the east coast. Close to A1 motorway and Edinburgh bypass. Has a good selection of supermarkets quite close together, Aldi, Lidl, Tesco and an Asda just off A1 motorway. Navigation around town fairly easy and driving through also.

    Needed transport into Edinburgh.

    Needed transport into Edinburgh. Had to ask reception about this although had looked online before hand but obviously not familiar with the area. Nothing available about this in a folder. One of the receptionist was new and didn’t know the answer but another did. Musselburgh was ok on day we visited but just a small town. Nice walk along The Forth of Firth to Joppa and Porto where you could get a drink/cake or an ice cream.

    Gorgeous historical building and grounds.

    Gorgeous historical building and grounds. You can get a bit lost around all the stairs, so be sure to ask for a ground or first floor room if you have needs and/ or like access to outside more. Room and bathroom was a little too hot and small but better than cold I guess! Just felt a tad claustrophobic in single wee room that was located through quite a lot of passage ways - good for some people but not for others. Just be sure to speak to the hotel about room needs. There was some sort of fan or something going on through the night, not sure if outside or other room. Hotel was a wonderland and staff are fantastic, kind and courteous. Due to the things I mention above I feel it was a little over priced. But I guess your paying for the up keep of such a beautiful historical building and its staff.

    The house is beautiful and in a lovely location, easy to get to as not too far from the main road but far enough to be very peaceful. Breakfast options were good with cooked and continental to choose from. Bed was large, definitely bigger than a double, but not particularly comfortable. Good shower pressure, appreciated that despite the small sink they had a good size tap for filling the kettle. Staff were very friendly and offered some useful tips for cheap and quick travel into Edinburgh.

    We really liked the kitchen facilities plus the shower was spacious and the room itself was spacious and felt fresh. We had a good communication with the hotel before arrival. We couldn't stay for breakfast but will possibly book again and have breakfast or use the bar on site. The kitchen was located in common area with juice and milk plus butter and toasts plus jam, plus coffee and tea. We loved it, but it would be cool to have wine glasses as well in the kitchen.

    Lovely house alongside the river which was clean and modern. Great place for a family trip to Edinburgh. We know Edinburgh well as we have lots of family here but have never been to Musselburgh before, we would stay again.
