Sweet Chestnut Dunfermline – Video Room Tour & Guest Review

Are you thinking of visiting Dunfermline or looking for a hotel that is close to the M90 motorway?

Located just off J3 of the M90 the Sweet Chestnut Dunfermline is perfectly located if you want a convenient hotel North of the bridges before heading into Edinburgh.

It’s also located in the leisure park so there is plenty around including a cinema, bingo hall, garden centre and choice of places to eat.

Read on for my review of the Sweet Chestnut Dunfermline based on a 1 night stay in November 2023. We stayed in a family room which cost £88 not including breakfast.

At the second roundabout take the first exit to the left. This will bring you into the leisure park.

The Sweet Chestnut is located beside the Dobbies Garden Centre.

Hotel Parking

There is plenty of free parking at the hotel.

The car park is located at the front of the hotel so you may want to request front-facing rooms if you want to keep an eye on your vehicle.

The reception for the hotel is located inside the Marstons Inn pub building. On entering the main door bear right slightly and there is a reception desk towards the rear of the building.
