Pros:

Initially had problems finding the room, and also how to access the room at night when reception was closed. Breakfast - little choice if you don't eat a cooked breakfast.

Pros:

I booked a stay at the Cove Bay Hotel last minute during my travels. I loved the location and overall feel of the hotel. It was clean and quiet - the perfect place for some respite after being in the city. Staff were extremely friendly and the food from the restaurant was amazing! I hope I will be able to return soon.

Pros:

Nous y sommes restées qu'une nuit au mois de mai mais l'accueil était très bien. La chambre était spacieuse avec une belle vue sur mer. Le petit dej est copieux et très bon.

Cons:

Le bourdonnement lié j'imagine aux moteurs des climatisateurs

Comfortable and convenient
Pros:

The room was comfortable, spacious and clean. Food was good. Parking available on site. The location was perfect for our needs.

Cons:

Room (cabin) 3, whilst comfortable, was above the bar and was very noisy on the Friday night and quite noisy on the Saturday night.
Fresh fruit was in short supply at breakfast on the Monday (due to a busy weekend).

Schönes, altes Gebäude mit renovierten Zimmern, Parkplatz hinter dem Haus und Blick aufs Meer vom Speisesaal.
Pros:

Sehr bequemes Bett, geräumiges Zimmer mit Blick aufs Meer. Frühstück mit frisch zubereiteten Speisen.

Cons:

Man muss ein Zeitfenster für das Frühstück festlegen, was aufgrund der frisch zubereiteten Speisen (wie Eier und Toast) aber auch ok ist. Der Service war etwas hektisch, aber freundlich.

Il più bell’albergo in cui siamo stati nel nostro giro in Scozia
Pros:

Albergo in stile marinaro con vista sul mare. Staff super cordiale e camere grandi
Abbiamo mangiato nell’albergo sia a cena che a colazione e ne vale veramente la pena cibo ottimo porzioni abbondanti e ottimo prezzi
