The Spotlight on The Hawes Inn by Innkeeper's Collection

Scenic Riverside Escape with Easy Access to Edinburgh Gigs

Modern comforts meet historic charm at The Hawes Inn by Innkeeper's Collection, a cosy country-style hotel overlooking the iconic Firth of Forth railway bridge. Located just a 20-minute drive from Edinburgh city centre, this inn offers a peaceful riverside retreat that still keeps you close to the action. With classic interiors, roaring log fires, and a traditional pub atmosphere, it’s an ideal base for concert nights with a touch of Scottish charm.

Rooms come equipped with flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms, and tea/coffee facilities, with many offering beautiful views of the river and the Forth Bridge. You're also within minutes of local attractions like Deep Sea World and two nearby golf courses, if you're extending your stay beyond the music scene.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading into Edinburgh for a show, this inn is a great pick for a quiet night’s sleep after the encore. The hotel’s location just outside the city centre means less late-night noise and easier parking. With 12:00pm checkout, you can sleep in after a late show, and the attached pub means no need to hunt down a nightcap. While public transport options are available, driving or rideshare may be more convenient for late returns.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a scenic, social base
- Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list act and wanting a peaceful stay
- Couples on a romantic weekend with music and views
- Fans needing a chill post-concert recovery space
- Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind being just outside the city

Food and Drink Options

The attached country pub and restaurant serves hearty dishes like braised pork belly and cheese-topped fish pie – perfect after a gig. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’ll find evening dining and a warming log fire into the night. Breakfast is available the next morning, ideal if you’ve been out late. There are also other eateries a short drive away in the nearby town of South Queensferry.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about classic pub charm than clubbing, the on-site bar is a lovely place to wind down with a pint. For more nightlife, head into Edinburgh for a wide selection of bars, clubs, and live music venues – all within a 20-minute drive.

What People Say

Guests love the river views, historic atmosphere, and friendly staff. The pub is frequently praised for its food and character, and the rooms are noted as clean, comfortable, and quiet. Many appreciate the location as a peaceful alternative to the city bustle.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the building is a bit older, with stairs and no lift – something to consider if accessibility is a concern. Being outside the city means you’ll need your own transport or plan ahead for cabs after a late gig.

The Bottom Line

A charming riverside stay with character, comfort, and easy access to Edinburgh’s music scene — perfect for fans who want a relaxed night after the show.

Had a lovely one night...

Liked: Bedroom was lovely very clean. Nice big comfortable bed. Super shower. Great view from windows too. Staff very attentive when making plans for a bday meal on the sunday. 12 oclock check out was a bonus as youre not rushing after breakfast to leave.
Disliked: Garden area to have drinks and food quite run down. Could do with bit of an upgrade. Quite expensive for certain items on menu having to pay extra for things like fries etc that would normally come with meals. Cut off time for sitting outside with drinks. The noise of cars revving up and passing past hotel on the street on sat night was awful.

Nice location, nice food, shame...

Liked: The room was spacious and clean, the location is iconic, the evening meal was good.
Disliked: It would benefit from secure cycle parking. Disappointed with the limited breakfast (breakfast was included but we were only allowed one choice off the menu)
