Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The (small and without a view) room had been recently modernised and decorated. It was adequate for our stay of 2 nights. The staff were helpful, courteous and efficient. The breakfast was a mixture of good and not so good. It was certainly plentiful and the ‘starter’of granola and exotic fruits was something else. On the down side, the fruit juice was watery and over-sweet. Also, the chef could perhaps turn the gas down a little when grilling the bacon. All in all it was a very satisfying experience and there was no need for a supplement before lunch.

A gem on the Anstruther coast

An amazing hotel with wonderful staff and amazing food at the restaurant. The rooms are unique albeit slightly quirky but always high quality and comfortable. A real gem ....
