I've got to say, for the price this place was excellent and my room was more than adequate for a three night stay. The bar staff were hospitalitable and the local cafe (5 minutes away) was the perfect spot for breakfast before heading into town. I was bit emotional when I left as that Inn had done me proud. Will look for this lovely pub again the next time I visit Edinburgh!

Stayed at the Riccarton Inn on Friday night and had a great experience. The room was excellent—comfortable, clean, and well presented. The food and drink in the bar area were brilliant, with a really good atmosphere to relax in after a long day. Service was friendly and efficient throughout. Location-wise, it’s ideal—especially if you’re a parkrun tourist. Being so close to the local route made it the perfect base for the weekend. Would definitely stay again.

Clean and compact room offers good value for money. Staff are welcoming, and the pub offers excellent meals. The location is not too far from Edinburgh Airport and a pleasant 25-30 minute walk to my meeting at Heriot-Watt University. It's also on the #44 busline for access to Edinburgh, and only a 15 minute walk from a train station where I could catch a local train to Glasgow.
