The Chestnut is sweet
Pros:

Just a very nice hotel and restaurant

Cons:

No real beer only lagers, so if you don't like lager there was no other choice

Conveniently located and the rooms are lovely.
Pros:

The rooms were lovely and clean, the staff were amazing and very helpful.

Cons:

Unfortunately the carvery was really lacking and the cooked breakfast was the same. Food ordered from the menu was a lot better though. BUT it's not a big deal because you're surrounded by restaurants.

Pros:

Was a good location for where we needed to be.

Cons:

The food was not upto standard. Carvery in the evening the turkey was over cooked and dry, yorkshire puddings oily, carrots hard and the gravy was like tap water. Breakfast in the morning all eggs fried and poached overcooked instant coffee sachets on the continental table

Basic, functional, clean & good value for money. Friendly and professional staff
Pros:

The proximity to many food outlets and especially the staff at the Bar/Carvery/Restaurant

Cons:

The square toilet seats!
This may sound a bit petty but it was THE worst thing about my stays, most uncomfortable things ever!!!

Pros:

The hotel is separate from the bar/restaurant, so it's really quiet. The rooms are large, comfortable and have everything you need. The breakfast is large, and a good selection. The staff are really friendly. It's in a good location and as a solo traveller, I felt really safe here.

Cons:

Unless you are using the Park & Ride, you do need a car, but the area you are in is stunning. It was easy for me to get to Edinburgh, around the Fife Coast and also up into the Highlands all as day trips.
