Good Hotel Guide Review
Expect a ‘cheerful welcome’ at this gastropub-with-rooms, which stands by a bridge over the Union Canal in a conservation village. Fires burn in a bar popular with locals; in the ‘inviting’ dining room, produce from local suppliers and the walled garden influences the menu of pub classics (fish and chips; pie of the day) and more elaborate dishes (duck breast, confit leg, celeriac purée, pickled pear, chicory). There's an outdoor terrace for sunny days. Upstairs, ‘snug’, pleasingly simple bedrooms have a canal view. Breakfast brings sausages from rare-breed pigs, and freshly laid chicken and duck eggs from Ratho Hall. Convenient for Edinburgh Airport. Sister hotel The Ship Inn is in Elie (see main entry).
