Pros:

Appartamento famigliare di fronte all'Anchor Hotel. Spazioso, con cucina, salotto, due camere da letto e bagno. Struttura pulita ed accogliente. La zona è tranquilla e silenziosa. Alla sera abbiamo fatto una passeggiata in questo piccolo e silenzioso villaggio affacciato sul mare.

Consigliato per atmosfera e accoglienza
Pros:

Il punto di forza è sicuramente la posizione, ottima per visitare la zona e raggiungere facilmente le principali attrazioni, tra le quali il castello di Dunnottar ( 20 minuti )

La struttura ha un fascino autentico, con uno stile tipicamente scozzese e un'atmosfera marinara che la rende davvero caratteristica. È un hotel piccolo e accogliente, dove ci si sente subito a proprio agio.

Se cercate un ambiente intimo, ricco di personalità e in una posizione strategica, l'Anchor Hotel è sicuramente una scelta che consiglio.

Pros:

As with all these reviews one has to relate the rating to the cost. It's not a 5 star spa hotel, but it is a very reasonably priced option for an overnight or couple of nights stay and is a very good hotel in that category. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable, harbour setting and the pub food is excellent by anyone's standards, particularly the fish dishes.

Cons:

Nothing

Grandissima Accoglienza, giovialità e disponibilità dei proprietari che ci hanno fatto sentire i benvenuti dal primo momento fino alla nostra ripartenza. Camera molto curata e immersa in uno scenario unico…

Un super point d’étape
Pros:

Point d’étape dans notre séjour en Ecosse, proximité du château de Dunnottar. Hôtel dans un superbe environnement, les plats du restaurant nous ont conquis, ainsi que le petit déjeuner. Les chambres d’hôtels sont bien insonorisées, nous n’avons pas du tout entendu la cuisine se situant au même étage ainsi que le pub au rez de chaussée, nous avons très bien dormi et avons apprécié la chambre familiale. Nous avons beaucoup aimé l’ambiance et la gentillesse du personnel de l’hôtel restaurant
