Summary: The Murray Arms is an excellent place to stay ,two minutes from the Pentland Ferry terminal. It is spotlessly clean with a nice bar and restaurant. The staff couldn't be more friendly and welcoming. The breakfast and evening meals are excellent, would definitely return.
Andy Oct 28, 2025 07:11:05 PM

Laurel Sep 28, 2025 12:38:31 AM
Summary: So pleased to find Murray Arms. It was 5 minutes from our arriving ferry. Upon checkin by Suzanne, we were assigned private off-road parking. Our room for 3 nights was comfortable. The staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming for all - babies, dogs, and patrons. The meals in their restaurant were first class. They have dive boats for scallop harvesting. Our scallop dinner was the best EVER!

Summary: Pros: The Murray Arms is ideally placed for the ferry terminal. Very convenient and easy to find. Rooms were clean. Restaurant was good for dinner. Cons: the walls are very thin and can hear neighbours easily.

Summary: We stayed with them overnight and the accommodation was great, as was the breakfast. We also had dinner here as it had great reviews for seafood. Sadly we were left quite disappointed as none of the food impressed and the sea bass was particularly bad. Our waitress was great, but there was some commotion behind the bar with the younger staff and you could tell that there was some conflict, just enough to make everyone uncomfortable without anything actually happening. I'm all for the younger generation to get work experience, but they still need to be professional. We also had drinks in their pub and although everything was fine, it somehow had the feeling of walking into a local old man's pub where everyone knows eachother and looks at you suspiciously. Nothing happened but again, there was just something off about the atmosphere. Overall I'd definitely recommend staying here, but not too sure about eating / drinking here.

Summary: Verry good restaurant. Room and bath are clean. Good, comfortable bed. Suppose, I've got a single room as the bed would have been to small for two adults.
William Aug 26, 2025 04:07:07 PM
Summary: Decent room, good food. Peaceful.
Paul Aug 18, 2025 10:12:51 PM
Summary: The Manager makes you feel right at home , first name terms and genuinely interested in how you day has been . Service was excellent. The food was fresh, scallops were caught at 4 every day .
Randi Jul 28, 2025 01:59:48 PM
Summary: The proprietors are very friendly and accommodating. The place has a lot of charm and is clean and perfect for our needs.
