Lovely hotel with stunning views.
Pros:

Lovely family room with a stunning view over the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh to the Forth Road Bridges. Staff were polite and friendly on arrival and departure. In fact all of the staff were very helpful.

Cons:

There wasn't anything I didn't like in the hotel. We were bed and breakfast, and my only gripe really was that there wasn't much choice at breakfast if you didn't want a cooked breakfast.

The staff were very kind, friendly and went the extra mile to provide some toiletries for us.
Pros:

The location and view are amazing

Cons:

The decor could do with a bit updating rather than the very “brown” interior, be great to make it blue and bright like its location

Amazing location, well worth a visit
Pros:

We stayed in an exec family suite: the room was spacious and the views over the bay were incredible. The staff were friendly and welcoming and really helpful.

Cons:

Very slight criticism, but the bathroom was dated and for a suite, it would be nice to see this upgraded. It took nothing away from our stay, so not a negative, just a suggestion

Another great return visit
Pros:

Great location, food was amazing and staff all very friendly. Plenty to keep kids occupied.

Cons:

Room 101 was supposed to have a balcony or terrace but there was only a walkway with no direct access from the room which was very overlooked. Also think soft play area should be included - £2.50 for 30 mins (even for 18 month old) was very expensive.
