Lovely stay in Anstruther
Pros:

Great location. The breakfast is amazing - you get a lot of choice from a nice à la carte menu and everything was really tasty. We also liked the hotel guest beer garden at the back that caught the sun in the afternoon

Big room and everything was very clean

Cons:

The furniture was pretty dated and the mattress wasn’t great - we only stayed one night so not an issue but maybe be for longer stays

Lovely hotel with a great location and view
Pros:

Location and room. The breakfast and dinner wait staff were lovely.

Cons:

The staff for checking in at the bar could be friendlier. Room was very warm. The staff did manage to come up and open the inoperable window to let some air in. The refrigerator did not cool and felt as if it was overheating in the cabinet. Nothing was done about it.

Historic inn within short distance to the waterfront.
Pros:

Check in is at the bar, which is beautiful. We had an evening meal in the restaurant which was very good with a great view to the water.

Nice place to relax and enjoy
Pros:

Great location in the town, room was "super size", felt like we were in large apartment. Staff helpful and food good as well.

Cons:

No onsite parking, but able to "off load" luggage out front and staff told us where we could park the car. Very narrow "old" streets, understandable.

Dommage que les chambres côté rue ne soient pas insonorisées
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner est formidable et le personnel agréable

Cons:

Impossible de dormir dans les chambres situées côté rue non insonorisées malgré le confort des chambres…tarif excessif pour ce type de chambres qui donnent l’impression que l’on dort dans la rue

Une belle étape bien située pour rayonner dans la region.
Pros:

l'emplacement par rapport à la region.
chambre spacieuse, claire et très propre.
petits dejeuners excellents que l'on prend dans la veranda qui a vue sur la mer (au loin)
l'hotel (chambres et parties communes) a été recemment renové : c'est tout en blanc; clair et lumineux.
Accueil excellent.
Ce petit port est très sympa avec de nombreux restaurants de qualité.

Cons:

juste une tablette ou meuble dans la salle de bain qui est spacieuse aussi pour poser ses affaires de toilettes.
Pour la salle de bain encore : une petite question : pourquoi les anglais s'obstinent ils à mettre un robinet d'eau froide d'un côté du lavabo et le robinet d'eau chaude à l'opposé du lavabo au lieu d'un vrai mitigeur ??! cependant, ce n'est pas seulement dans cet hôtel que la remarque vaut....
Le parking n'est pas proche (200 m) mais ce n'est pas un problème.
