The room was modern and clean with sweeping views of the sea. We could see Isle of May from our bed. We had a top floor room and there was no noise at all. Comfortable bed. The hotel breakfast was surprisingly good...perhaps the best Scottish breakfast we had the whole time there. We had one dinner in the restaurant, which was fine but nothing special. The hotel is on the opposite side of town from the restaurants/shops, but it is a very pleasant 5-10 minute walk which didn't bother us in the least. There is a path that leads straight down from in front of the hotel to a beautiful coastal view and path. ##### Brandon Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven Jul 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities N/a ##### Steven Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Wendy Apr 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Room was clean but basic but was a 2 star. No towel rail to dry towels on & no change nxt day... as no refill on coffee /tea/milk etc had to ask for them which they did provide. ##### Wendy Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynda Aug 30, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff /owners were excellent and we would use again if in this area. However, we would have preferred daily cleaning of our room. We stayed for a total,of 4 nights and no cleaning of our room was undertaken during that time. Towels are only changed on the 3rd day but we had to prompt this change as we did with the emptying of the bins. These matters were rectified immediately once we pointed it out but it appears no one is checking the rooms are being serviced. The breakfasts were very good and the service from the staff re carrying luggage to room etc was very good too. Car parking excellent. As much hot water as you like, and the room was kept warm too. This hotel has obviously had a lot of money spent on it by the owners over the last few years but small matters such as more towel hooks in the shower room are needed. The towels and bedding were lovely and white and smelled nice and clean but it would have been nice to have the room cleaned daily eg mopping room floors and vacuuming the stairwells. The bed was comfy but we had to make it up ourselves daily. Only our pillows were plumped up ! This wasn’t a deal breaker for us but so much more could be made of this hotel. But we enjoyed our stay. ##### Lynda Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robyn Jun 9, 2025 ##### Robyn Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John May 2, 2025 ##### John Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gillian Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Gillian Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian Oct 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Okay even if you don't golf.

The breakfast was average, the staff were okay, not unfriendly but not attentive either. For the money paid I think they need to up their game.
