About The Sun Inn
For anyone who wants an uncomplicated overnight stop rather than a destination in itself, The Sun Inn at Lothianbridge in Dalkeith fits the brief. With just five rooms, it has the feel of a straightforward pub-inn rather than a large hotel, making it a practical choice for couples passing through Midlothian, golfers heading to a nearby course, or visitors who just need somewhere central to rest before exploring the area.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks available in room, and free WiFi, while a 24 hour reception means arrival times are flexible. Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar on site serving breakfast, so guests can eat without needing to head out, though there are also pubs, bars and restaurants nearby for those who fancy a change of scene.
The location works well for day trips, with Edinburgh Zoo within reach and Musselburgh around six miles away. Free on-site parking makes it an easy stop for those travelling by car, and the surrounding area offers golf and other entertainment for guests looking to fill a day beyond the inn itself.
