In a very quiet and clean neighborhood, the room is soundproof and quiet. It is a very British-style exquisite hotel. The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic. Our room rate includes breakfast, and the a la carte is very good! The hotel laid out a small bed for my little daughter before we checked in, and prepared delicate biscuits thoughtfully. This is the most comfortable and satisfying stay we have lived in the UK for one month. It is great value for money and highly recommended!

The staff were exceptional in every way. Jackie and her team consistently went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. The food was top quality and gorgeous. The room more than met our expectations, it was really large and airy, and no roadside or bar noise could be heard at all in the bedrooms. The bathroom had both an extra large shower and a beautiful free-standing bathtub. I cannot recommend The Reaburn highly enough and will definitely return and will recommend it to anyone I know going to Edinburgh

Our stay at this resort was simply perfect, an experience we will never forget. The property stands out for its magnificence, warmth, and impeccable cleanliness, making everything incredibly comfortable and relaxing. Our room, which we affectionately nicknamed “the palace,” was a true marvel: spacious, elegant, and thoughtfully furnished. The living room and bedroom were large, bright, and welcoming, while the spotless cleanliness made us feel at ease from the very first moment. The bathroom, also spacious and immaculately clean, added another level of comfort and quality to our stay. Another highlight is the resort’s location, nestled in a quiet and breathtakingly beautiful area. The serene atmosphere and stunning surroundings made every moment a true delight, offering a sense of peace and harmony that is hard to find elsewhere. In conclusion, this resort is a little slice of paradise, highly recommended for anyone seeking a vacation full of relaxation and beauty. We can’t wait to return!

The interior designer/decorator of this gorgeous hotel is brilliant. The lush textures, the thoughtful touches, rich colors and color palettes, the coziness, quiet luxury and beauty of each room and area was just perfection. You wanted to just melt into a velvet chair or take tea next to the huge windows overlooking the city or read a book on a plush sofa in some cozy corner. Beautiful.
