Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

8/10 Good
"Great location. Close to the airport, also to all major route east, west, north and south. Edinburgh city center is 20 mins away. Wonderfull setting on 2 golf courses, so plenty of nice walks. Free parking. Worst thing is driving out of the hotel and joining the A71. Horrible junction."
