When is the best time to go to Garvald?

The best time to go to Garvald is during the late spring and summer months, from May to September, when the weather is generally mildest and the days are longest. During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 15°C to 20°C, making it pleasant for exploring the surrounding East Lothian countryside. The longer daylight hours, especially around the summer solstice in June, mean you have more time to enjoy outdoor activities like walking, cycling, or visiting nearby attractions such as Tantallon Castle or the Scottish Seabird Centre. Couples looking for a peaceful escape will particularly appreciate Garvald in late spring when the local gardens and fields are in bloom, offering picturesque scenery for leisurely strolls. The warmer months also mean local pubs and restaurants often have outdoor seating available, superb for enjoying a meal or a drink in the evening. For those planning to enjoy the natural beauty and outdoor pursuits, the summer offers the most reliable weather, though it's always wise to pack layers as Scottish weather can be unpredictable.

Top Garvald Hotel Reviews

Dalhousie Castle

10/10 Excellent

"The experience at Dalhousie Castle was truly unforgettable. The dining options were impeccable, with every dish crafted to perfection. The suite I stayed in was beyond words, with breathtaking views and luxurious amenities. And the staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and memorable. It was truly a dream come true."

Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, James was great when he checked us in, he showed us to our room and gave us some tips on travel to Edinburgh and how to get to the beach from t he hotel. The pool was good. The room was big and clean .but there were. Pair of children knickers left in one of the drawers from previous guests.but the beds were comfy and the room was clean..it was a great base for travelling Edinburgh and close to amenities and a very good bus service"

The Linton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Small hotel ( essentially rooms above the bar and restaurant) in a pretty East Lothian village. Easy on-street parking, straightforward check-in , decent size room. Amenities are a little basic and I was frustrated that the shower in my room had very low water flow. Nice to have a cooked breakfast available every day. I didn't eat in the evening but the dinner menu looked tempting and good value."

Premier Inn Edinburgh East

8/10 Good

"This is a well-located hotel on several bus routes with a handy Tesco next door. The room was clean and comfortable despite showing its age in places, and both the bedroom and bathroom were spacious. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection of hot and cold food in unlimited supply. However, the hotel needs a bit of an overhaul, which perhaps it's currently getting according to some posted signs. The restaurant is in a sad state overall, with carpets and furnishings very worn and stained, and badly in need of replacement. The 50-year-old steakhouse (where breakfast is also served) was hardly open outside of breakfast hours, and the bar closed at 10 on the rare nights it was actually open. Staff availability seems to be an issue, but we must say that the staff at breakfast worked hard and were very pleasant. We would return for the location and the breakfast but hope to find a refreshed hotel next time."
