Excellent seafront pub hotel with great food and comfy rooms
Pros:

The hotel is well situated on the seafront. Parking space is ample. The reception function carried out from the bar was very welcoming. The room was attractively decorated and comfortable with crisp bedlinen and an ample double bed with good mattress. The bathroom was well equipped and modern. There was no intrusive noise. The dog friendly restaurant and bar had good ambience and was packed with locals. The menu is well balanced with well presented and prepared pub food and well priced. Some desserts items were sensational. The very busy staff were very efficient offering prompt and friendly service.

Cons:

Cannot fault this excellent British/ Scottish pub establishment

Pros:

The food was delicious and the staff are friendly.

Cons:

Food was expensive, the extractor didn't work in the bathroom and the window handles were broken. The downstairs room we were in was also very noisy as it was adjacent to the pub.

Warm and cosy
Pros:

I stayed at this hotel for two nights with my little dog. The interior is truly charming and steeped in history. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, and I loved the Scottish décor and the cosiness of the furnishings. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had been recently refurbished. I had a burger and cheesecake for dinner, and they were delicious. A special thank you goes to the staff – they were all so friendly. And a heartfelt thank you goes to Eilioh 🙏❤️, who even looked after my little dog’s wellbeing. I’ve left a little piece of my heart here and I’ll definitely be back.
