About The Ship Inn
Musselburgh, just along the coast from Edinburgh, is the setting for The Ship Inn, a straightforward pub-hotel on North High Street. It makes a handy base for exploring both the town and the capital without the city-centre prices, while still putting golf, fishing and a run of local pubs and restaurants within easy reach.
Rooms are en-suite and come with drinks available in-room, and the property runs a 24-hour reception so arrival times are flexible. Free WiFi is provided throughout for anyone working or staying in touch. Downstairs, the bar and restaurant serve as the heart of the place, with breakfast included to set guests up for the day ahead.
Beyond the doors, Musselburgh offers entertainment and dining options nearby, and the town's golf and fishing make it a good choice for those after an active break rather than pure sightseeing. Edinburgh itself remains just a short distance away for anyone wanting a day in the city.
