Tentsmuir Forest Holidays

A nice small hotel in a very busy part of the old town. The hotel is located in an interesting area but not easy to access. Rooms are tiny but air conditioning worked well. Staff was extremely helpful providing tips and advice. Breakfast is served in a connecting restaurant but was disappointing with limited selection and little variety. I’m glad I had the opportunity to stay at the Grassmarket Hotel but don’t think I would choose to stay at the hotel in the future.

Great Nostalgic hotel, beautifully appointed rooms and the location was perfect to visit the city of Edinburgh.

Sadly Not the 5‑Star Experience We Hoped For We were really excited to stay here for our honeymoon after reading so many rave reviews from others celebrating special occasions. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t match the hype. Other than a quick “congratulations” at check‑in, our honeymoon wasn’t acknowledged at all, which was disappointing given how highly the hotel markets itself for special stays. Our room was airy, but tired in places. While the heated bathroom floor was a nice touch, there was very little storage and the sink didn’t drain properly. We also had to ask for a hairdryer, and whilst the receptionist was polite, the staff member who came to the room was surprisingly rude and made us feel embarrassed for not being able to find it. Whilst breakfast was delicious, it was confusing and not well explained. There is no price on the menu and it was unclear if you were paying per item or if there was a standard price and you could eat as much as you liked. The staff were really friendly but portion sizes were small for the price. Housekeeping came early on the morning we were checking out, which felt rushed. This was a shame as it was one of few interactions with staff. Overall, if you’re staying in the main hotel, you’ll likely have a much better experience and feel well looked after. But if you’re placed in the house across the road, it does feel like you’re an afterthought, which is a real shame for what was meant to be a luxury honeymoon stay.

Location was perfect - lots of cafes/food places next to the apartment and center to major landmarks and attractions. For those Harry Potter fans, Greyfriars Cemetery and The Elephant House was a two second walk down the street! The apartment was clean, and beautifully remodeled. Loved that it had a laundry room and they provided us with pods. Also the host was responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend. A great location, lovely staff and excellent size accommodation. The staff went above and beyond and were very helpful. Thank you
