Dryburgh Arms Pub with Rooms

Travelling towards Edinburgh and found this little gem. Wonderfully friendly welcome. Terrific service. Beautiful room. Outstanding breakfast. Just a great spot to stay. Couldnt do enough to make our visit the best it could be. Would highly recommend for a good stopover.

We had a last minute stay on a Saturday night. We were informed that live music would be on that evening but that we shouldn't be able to hear it from our room. I couldn't hear the music but I could hear: - Slamming of the heavy door at the bottom of the private staircase (to the guest bedrooms) until the early hours of the morning. This was a separate space to the pub/ bar area - Periodic loud singing and shouting from the foot of the staircase until the early hours - Pub goers outside our bedroom window shouting/ singing until the early hours of the morning. Admittedly, guests were taken back inside after I poked my head out the window asking them to be quiet. Single glazing made it seem like they were in my bedroom. - Loud dance music with a strong bass line until well after midnight Upon raising these issues the following day I was told that they were a busy pub who try their best to control the noise, and that they were sorry. Not good enough after a £100 stay! Surely being able to sleep is a bare minimum when booking a room?! There were good points, staff on arrival were friendly and welcoming and whilst the room was far from luxurious, it did have everything we needed. I would however expect far better for the price.

This is very much a locals pub in a not very attractive village that has no other amenities. If that is your thing then this could be for you. Sadly, from the website and previous reviews, we thought we were booking a boutique hotel, but the rooms were not of the standard that we would normally choose, and we wouldn't have felt comfortable having a night cap at the bar. The breakfast was ok, but again served in surroundings that are not what we are used to. For £115 quite honestly we would have expected more and we have paid less for better bed and breakfast.

From start to finish we’ve had the best stay ever. Leanne was very welcoming, The room was spacious and comfortable. Suzanne was superb in the bar. We really enjoyed talking to Tam, Rab, John and many more friendly locals. Finally the breakfast was perfect thanks to Ruthie. Many thanks Rab and Andrena

I needed a sleepover to break up a long drive - the room was lovely and exactly what I needed. Leanne was super helpful and responsive and gave good recommendations for places to eat.

You are guaranteed the warmest and friendliest of welcomes by Leanne and her team. We were blown away by their generosity and willingness to go the extra mile for us. We had a wonderful stay - the Scottish breakfast was a big hit. Highly recommended.
