"Booked a room here the day before arrival, which to be honest, due to circumstances beyond my control had to cancel early on the day before arrival. Arrived yesterday with my gf, walked into the bar, and ordered 2 drinks whilst saying I had booked a room. But which I cancelled but need the room now please if available. Bar man looked at me blankly and said your the guy who tried to cancel, I sad yes but now we do require the room. Sat down with drinks, to then have a woman (I presume the barman/managers wife) shuffle over to our table. After a long and boring conversation about who booked what and when and who cancelled and why. I said we do require the room after all, she then murmured something about having to put the radiators on then shuffled off. After shuffling back she she said “so you do want the room?” I said yes please if available, she said well can you pay now! In mid pint I do not like to be interrupted, so I said I will pay after I have finished my drink thanks…..shuffles off. Shuffles back…She then delivered the fantastic line “you don’t know whether your coming or going do you” I sipped my pint of neck oil and laughed and said “I do we’re going” and it is possible for someone to cancel and then rebook. We drunk up and left! Pros Lovely little resident dog think he was a terrier, nice lil fella! Maybe employ him behind the bar? Cons awful attitude from bar staff/management Very bates motel/hills have eyes vibe for the film buffs who may read this review. Typical small village pub/hotel locals all crowded rnd the bar with happy smiling shuffler above, then the your from not round here routine to me any my gf. Picked on the wrong guy here though! Recommendation We drank our drinks which were nice, then booked in one minute, to stay at meadow farm hotel. 1 mile away, Great smiley faces of staff greeted us on arrival, had a lovely meal and a few drinks. Room is clean, spacious, and value for money. Avoid the green dragon inn!! Much nicer places/ppl near by."

"dinnae mess wi' the canny man’s. that is the marmite of edinburgh pub restaurants. let them explain me; they either love the fact that there is a long list of rules (which are enforced with almost brutal enthusiasm by the personal) banning everything from credit card cameras to backbacks handys, or they hate it as a series of ridiculous positions. I accidentally enjoy the retro/other secular feeling to take money, hide my handy, read the world's most famous elite menu, then write my own order on pads down before it gets at a special place, so the waitress will pick it up. I wouldn't want to do it any meal, but there are hundreds of restaurants where the customer is always being followed to extreme mentality, so it feels right that it says a place that are the rules, are lost if they don't like it. Of course, this is only possible because it can attract customers to their own conditions. some come for the easy Soviet block customer service, some the pretty incredible British museum meets junk shop interieur. which brings me back, however, is the incredible wine list of beer selection and the fantastic selection of high-quality open sandwiches in which the canny man’s has specialized. all in all, I would advise everyone to try it once; whether they go back or not she will be on both sides of this special morning idea marmite debate."
