Loved the town and area. People very hospitable. Cute hotel and very reasonable but the room was so small the bed hit the door. If you don’t mind extra tight quarters then go for it.

We really, really wanted to like this place and in the end we didn’t. It has a lot of potential and hopefully the family running this place can get it sorted.
The staff was friendly but we went into Edinburgh for the evening and had trouble getting in to the hotel when we got back late. We had told them we would be coming back late so we were surprised at the trouble, I wish they had just given us a night key.
The room we had was at the top of the building and somehow collected all of the cooking smells from the evening. The mattress was past its prime and uncomfortable. There was something wrong with the water pressure so showering was challenging.
Dinner was good and was a good value. Breakfast on the other hand was nothing short of amazing.

We loved our stay at the Linton Hotel, the only issue was that the shower seemed to have no cold water supply, meaning it was too hot even on the lowest setting. Other than that everything was fine.

We had a lovely stay. Made very welcome by friendly staff. The room was very clean and all we required. The food is excellent. Produce from local sources. The adjoining bar was relaxed and price off drinks very good. We’ll be back. Well done the Linton Hotel and steakhouse.

Lovely stay, very friendly staff.
Just a note if you like staying out late it is a pub and it works around pub opening hours, don’t panic and call the number on your room key they’ll open up for you.

Lovely wee village and setting. Parking on street right outside the hotel. Friendly, helpful service from everyone. Great big bed in our room and nice en-suit (although the macerator in the toilet was quite noisy) Food in their restaurant excellent standard.
