Hotel sicher ok, aber nicht Zimmer Nr. 27
Pros:

Lage des Hotels, Frühstück ausgezeichnet.

Cons:

Das Zimmer Nr. 27 liegt im Erdgeschoß auf Gehsteigniveau. Durch Milchglasscheiben sieht man nicht nach draußen, kann aber ständig die vorbeigehenden Leute hören. Durch die unmittelbare Nähe zur Durchgangsstraße ist es die ganze Nacht über sehr laut.

Excellent apart from our noisy room
Pros:

Food was excellent, as was the view from the dining room.

Cons:

Room 27b was noisy from the aircon running outside. The outside patio with bbq was small and not inviting but we wouldn't have used it anyway.

Lovely birthday dinner.
Pros:

The staff were excellent. Made our stay relaxed and comfortable.

Cons:

The nosie from the pub below our window. However, they are in the process of installing double glazing, which should make a world of difference.

Vill gärna gå tillbaka
Pros:

Personalen var super trevlig. Frukosten var fantastisk och maten väldigt god. Man fick välja i en meny det man ville ha och det lagades på beställning. Så gott! En riktigt bra upplevelse!
The coastal path var fantastisk. Gå till Crail från Anstruther! Det tar en stund, men det är värt varenda minut.

Cons:

Jag hade gärna velat ha mer info i rummet om allt man kunde göra i området. Det blir alltid bra om man får direkta tips när man kommer.

Great place to stay
Pros:

Great location for exploring the East Neuk, plenty places to eat and drink in Anstruther although booking a must in high season. Breakfast at the Bank was excellent and staff were friendly, efficient and hard-working. Nice beer garden, with a private section for residents.

Cons:

Weather was hot and sunny during our stay which meant rooms were rather warm. There was a fan in the room though so not much more hotel can do.
Parking could be tricky, with the nearby free car park being pretty busy especially during day-tripper hours.
Neither point would put us off staying again though.
