Pros:

Our room was described as a cosy standard double with sea view. We expected a small room so we were very surprised that the room size was of adequate size with a generous bathroom. We found the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had dinner and breakfast and the food was lovely. There is a easy walk to the village which is very pretty. Worth the visit.

Pros:

Older well maintained hotel with brand new bathroom fittings (walk in shower with on demand hot water). Gorgeous views from the hotel. Dinners and breakfasts were very good. Hotel staff was helpful on what to do in the area (and warned us of a bridge that was out). Not far from many Speyside distilleries.

Didn't quite meet expectations.
Pros:

The hotel room had excellent sea view. The hotel itself lacked charm or character. The decor felt tired and unappealing. It felt more like a guesthouse than a hotel. The bar area and dining experience lacked atmosphere. The sea views from the dining room were indeed great, but the dining room itself felt more like a canteen.
The food was fine. We ate there for breakfast and dinner and no complaints there. A short walk out of the hotel to a footpath leading into town with good views.

This was by far the best hotel we have stayed in. Everything was excellent from the view in the bedroom and breakfast room to the friendliness of staff. Comfortable bed. Very good breakfast. I am a fussy tourist and it honestly was a really good all round experience.
