Passed by a number of times and always wondered what was like. Went for a meal and was treated to friendly staff, reasonably priced and tasty food. Lovely experience in great surroundings. Not average pub grub like I had expected.
Cozy little gem with warm/kind staff, clean accommodations, delicious pub fare, and surprisingly good breakfast and coffee. I can’t recommend this enough as a reasonable accommodation just outside the city and/or a great meal anytime of day. Thank you all for a wonderful stay!
Popped in for dinner on the way back to the city, no booking but staff were very accomodating considering we also had a young child. Lovely decor, good meals and friendly staff. Was nice to eat a decent pie!
I am just home from here. My friend and I went out for dinner. Our meals were very nice. The staff were amazing, so professional yet so friendly and wee happy to have a wee chat while serving. It was a young man and a young lady, who said this was their first time running the restaurant on their own. They did so well, if they had not mentioned this I would never have known, such was their professional manner. To who ever is in charge, hold on to them, they are credit.
I Stayed at the Sun Inn weekend 28/29 October as i was working in Edinburgh.
What a great place, fantastic staff, very welcoming and friendly and the lovely room and the fabulous food, evening dinner and breakfast.
The Sun Inn is about 20 minutes from the centre of Edinburgh, safe parking overnight and makes a very good base.
If i am working again in Edinburgh i will use the the Sun Inn again.
Many thanks.
Lovely inn! My husband and I stayed here one night on our way into Edinburgh. It was a lovely spot with a wonderful outdoor patio for drinks (and food from their restaurant). I wish I knew the name of the staff member that served us at breakfast, but he was so sweet and wonderful and we super appreciated him. Also loved the fun woodland creature wallpaper throughout the inn!
Didn't stay over so can't comment on rooms. However regularly go here for lunch or coffee. Very dog friendly and staff can't do enough to help. Brilliant
I got ready at The Sun Inn for my wedding and the staff were super helpful - accommodating us in every way possible. Super comfortable room and delicious food all round. Highly recommend - especially for anyone getting married in Dalkeith!
Last Friday 5 May 2023 my friend Carol and I held a Ladies Night at The Sun Inn for my late daughter’s Legacy Fund. It was arranged with the Manager Jill who advised the best courses to have for a large number and we decided to have a 2 course sit down meal for 91 ladies with a glass of fizz. The meal was absolutely delicious with everyone commenting on it. The staff were so helpful and delightful. We had such a fun night and we can’t thank you all enough for such a wonderful evening.

This wasn't my first trip to the Sun Inn, but it was a wee bit disappointing in comparison to previous visits.
We chose to sit outside as it was a warm summer day, but the outdoor seating options were all a bit run down. The large tables and benches are falling apart a bit and there's mould and fungi growing from the tables. The smaller tables were all a bit shakey and unsteady.
But we persevered and ordered lunch. I had the goats cheese salad which was beautifully presented and nicely balanced, my mum had the Cullen skink scotch egg, which I tasted, was very delicious, and, again, beautifully presented.
For mains I had the cod with mash and green beans. This fell a bit flat for me, underseasoned mash and overcooked fish, visually just OK, overall a wee bit dry unfortunately. My mum had a burger which she said was "fine".
I'm sure I'll be back again as it's a great wee local spot, and there's plenty more to try on the menu.
