Pros:

I liked the location and cleanliness.

Cons:

I didn't like that I (and others) had to shut the doors to our rooms really loudly as they don't fit well and otherwise they wouldn't lock.

Anstruther ist auf Grund der Lage an der Küste ein Aufenthalt wert!
Pros:

Die Unterkunft liegt in der Nähe des Hafens und zahlreicher Lokale. Mit Glück ist ein (kostenloser) Parkplatz im Umfeld zu finden. Zimmer, Bad und Frühstück sind positiv zu bewerten.
Der Ort ist Ausgangspunkt für eine spektakuläre Küstenwanderung von Anstruther nach Crail (zurück mit dem Bus).

Cons:

Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist - wahrscheinlich auch auf Grund der Nähe zu Edinburgh - eher zu hochpreisig.

Enjoyable stay with good price, which I’d recommend to anyone.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good. A good selection of food and plenty of it. The location was very good. An extremely short distance to walk to the harbour front.
The staff were very helpful, efficient, friendly and pleasant.
The room was clean and comfortable (nice towels!) and a nice touch with a nice biscuit.
Good check in and out times.

Lovely stay at the Harbour Inn!
Pros:

The staff were absolutely lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. The room was nice, large and very comfortable. The continental breakfast was great and exceeded my expectations. The Inn was also perfectly located in Anstruther. We would definitely return

Cons:

The bar area didn’t have comfortable seats.

Ottima attenzione ai particolari
Pros:

La posizione, l'arredamento, l'attenzione ai dettagli

Cons:

Se devo trovare per forza un difetto, il WiFi non funziona molto. C'è da dire che anche la mia connessione privata è stata molto debole e instabile in tutto il paese.

Overall we enjoyed our stay! It was a little pricey for the accommodation but overall a good stay.
Pros:

The location was great, easily walkable to everything. Close to the water. Staff was friendly and the local bar down stairs was a great place to meet and talk with locals.

Cons:

Rooms were a little tight corners, had to unplug several things to charge ours phones, shower was small with nowhere to put anything in the shower (shampoo, soap, razor).

Great option for a stay at the Harbour area of Anstruther
Pros:

Good location close to the harbour. The room was recently renovated and decor very stylish. Staff were friendly and helpful. Dog friendly and staff made such a fuss of our dog making sure he had water and treats which was a nice touch. Breakfast was continental but a fabulous selection and the options for toasting lovely fresh bread and egg boiling facilities. Great experience for a small Inn.

Cons:

A bit of noise from the street, especially traffic. It is an old property but the owners have clearly put a lot of effort into upgrading it.

For a one night stay it was good, but possibly would have found it a bit cramped if there for longer
Pros:

Location is excellent, near the harbour. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was do-it-yourself, plenty of choice, but in quite a cramped area.

Cons:

Various fittings were a bit shaky, and the room was a bit cramped.

Expensive and so very disappointing
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Twin room was small, dirty, en-suite was in a cupboard with the shower hanging off. The toilet seat was broken. Blind was broken. Damp up the walls. See photos. We complained, but no response. Left after 1 night. Didn't want to stay

Pros:

Not much

Cons:

The room is tiny, and I mean tiny !!
So uncomfortable for 2 adults to stay in there.
The beds were very small and sloped off sideways.
The ensuite was again extremely tight.

But the worst, was the rave music DJ that was on. It was horrendous. Loud banging music all night til 1am !!
That is not what we signed up for. It is literally ridiculous to ask 2 adults to listen to that when trying to get to sleep !!
We also had the benefit of the light show which shone up through the pub skylight and in to the room window through the broken blinds.

I think for Booking.com to be sending customers there is very, very bad.
