Food Reviews

Excellent

Went with son and dog for dinner last week. Lovely welcome and we relaxed with actual newspapers by a real fire! Christine was delightful and made us so welcome. Very tasty and well presented food. We'll be back!

Cocktails and dinner

Lovely dinner here and the atmosphere was 10/10 , a home from home feel. After hearing all the stories before coming here we were a bit wary but oh wow how that has changed our minds- Couldn’t have asked for a better service or meal , the food was delicious and the cocktails were amazing!!!

Tremendous private meal

Such a warm welcome from the new owners at the Open Arms Hotel. They have breathed new life into this East Lothian institution. Tremendous private meal in the Heather Room. Keep up the great work. We will be back.

The food was first class

A lovely break at The Open Arms Hotel. The staff were excellent and went out of their way to accommodate our needs. The food was first class - we had dinner in the hotel restaurant, which was delicious. The hotel also has lovely décor, perfectly suited to the style of the property.
