Lovely place

Lovely welcoming host who was very accommodating about an early check in to suit our needs. Clean, comfortable room and in a great location. Made us a special early breakfast so we could have something substantial before we headed off.

A good stay

Breakfast was lovely..lots of fresh options. We had an unusual welcome by the gentleman of the house, when answering the door I had to explain why I waz there. He didnt know which room category we had booked but said the double was now available. We booked a much bigger room so we could get a double bed but happy to take the double. I dont think it was quite ready. Towels were just on the chair one tiny soap and one tiny bath wash randomly in the bathroom. Cookies with tea and coffee was a nice touch. The bed was foam spongey and the shower very light in pressure. When we asked about local restaurant recommendations he wasnt sure. We met Mary a lovely lady . Would I stay here again yes I would..i just think we caught them off guard. We ttied to message re our arrival time late afternoon but the website would not let us send. Stay here you will be looked after.

Very comfortable stay and amazing breakfast. We stayed here just one night to get to and from Edinburgh airport. The X18 bus comes right to the property (1hr ride) for about £5 or you can take a cab (25min) for about £40. We were pleased to see there were plenty of fast food places around that are open until 11pm or midnight - not all small towns in Scotland are like this. Only downside is we could not find an email address with which to contact the hosts during our travels, and since we don't have UK numbers we had to rely on courtesy phones to get in touch with them regarding check-in. Would highly recommend The Gables and their lovely hosts.

Wonderful homely and welcoming place.....

Stayed at The Gables for a weekend in August 2025. Had a wonderful experience, and the convenient location of The Gables made our lives easy. The hostess, Mary, was an absolute diamond. She greeted us warmly and provided us with a wonderful cooked breakfast each morning. The rooms were spacious and very clean. Would highly recommend a stay at The Gables for anyone looking for somewhere homely and welcoming within a short drive to Edinburgh.

The home is absolutely charming! Mary and Donald were so sweet and helpful, we felt very warmly welcomed. The room was a bit small, but the bathroom was large and comfortable! Breakfast was filling and fresh, it’s clear lots of love and care go into it. The only issue we ran into was frequency of buses and trains, but if you’re willing to walk for 20 minutes to the train station you can get into Edinburgh within an hour.

The house was built in the 1870's. It has lovely charm. They are so very kind and accommodating. My room was nice and clean and comfortable. There's bus stops near by that you can catch to the middle of town and a train station to take you to Edinburgh that's 20 minutes from the house. Everything is convenient. Highly recommend!
