THE SUN INN, NEWTONGRANGE

LOCATION This former mining building the stays of which, The Scottish Mining Museum, is five mins afar is an doubtful environment for a boutique road house and restaurant.

CHARACTER I knew this as a quirky and rather lifeless beer hall that did food. What a transformation. It has been refurbished especially as a infrequent place to eat; intimate, personal and honourable of the "boutique" tag.

ROOMS None are generous, and the apartment is unequivocally usually a room with a mezzanine and sauce room. Its low copper bath unequivocally is special, however, and unusually gentle for dual to lay in for hours. Fine mattresses and bed linen have for a great night"s sleep. The bedrooms at the front could humour from trade noise. Striking complicated dcor, with lots of warm, plain oak.

FOOD We stayed on a Tuesday and the restaurant/bistro was full and buzzing. Breakfasts are inexhaustible and the lunch and cooking menus are sundry and imaginative; Scottish furnish is promoted reduction the tartanry. Everything was beautifully baked and presented and the use was perfect.

WE LIKE The actuality there was no need to head in to Edinburgh for a great meal, that would have been the box formerly in this locale; really gentle lonesome outward bar, again a monument in this piece of the world.

NOT SO KEEN The dcor of a small rooms, since their size, is a bit complicated going, creation them feel a small cramped. There were a small teething problems with the plumbing.
