Maitlandfield House Hotel

Several reviewers have describe the hotel as 'tired'. Actually, it has a degree of older dignity. Not fancy, but very comfortable. What really made the difference, and would absolutely make me choose this for our next trip to East Lothian, was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. One of us has food intolerances, and the staff could not have been more on the ball (one minor exception below). We ate at the hotel both evenings, and the dinners were excellent, with sensible portion sizes. Good home made soups to start, well cooked fish, great accompaniments. Mostly though, and I'll say it again, a shout out for the lovely staff. They made us feel very welcome and could not have been more helpfiul and accomodating.

The staff they greeted us on arrival were so lovely and very friendly and helpful. We had an early morning appointment to attend during breakfast hours and the staff very kindly offered us late breakfast after our appointment which was very helpful and considerate. The breakfast was wonderful - fresh local produce very good quality. The service overall was excellent cant fault it. Very comfortable room and quiet but great location. Overall we had a great stay here and I would stay again!

Was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the beds, the cleanliness, the hospitality and the location. Perfect spot for a lovely walk to the riverside and St Mary's. Great location for bars and restaurants. However no need to dine elsewhere because the hotel menu was great. Dinner was delicious with a nice variety to suit many tastes and served in a lovely decorated dining room. Breakfast was served in a lovely area as well.

Every member of staff were friendly and helpful. The facilities in the room were everything you would hope for and the breakfast was great - quality and choice. A previous review suggested the shower didn't work. They probably didn't realise there is a power switch outside the bathroom as well as the on/off on the shower itself, although this is quite normal.

Clean and well presented. A bit tired in places but on the whole a very nice stay. The staff were extremely helpful and added to the stay experience. I stayed during Scottish Open golf week Thursday to Sunday. Room was clean and comfortable. The food was wholesome and nicely cooked.
