Poor accommodation for the price. An extra day cost £45 more at £180.
Cons:

The advertising picture is misleading. The actual rooms are in a very bland block overlooking a parking lot. The room had no cupboards nor sufficient space for suitcases. Not recommended for anything other than a one night stopover. We left early.

Lovely stay in Dunbar
Pros:

Friendly staff, we encountered some problems with our room like the tv remote not working and hotel room door not locking (both battery issues) however once aware, staff fixed the problem right away. Hotel is in a great location with walkable, local amenities and free parking.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind.

Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful

The Food wasn't as expected, in Scotland I would expect porridge to be made on site not out of a pot, the omelette for breakfast was disgusting and burnt

It served our needs but nothing to write home about. Certainly not as good as the Pine Marten Harrog
Pros:

Convenient location for us as close to the A1. The staff were able to provide an iron and ironboard which were very useful as we were attending a wedding. On Sunday a member of staff visited a supermarket to purchase yoghurt as none was available for breakfast.

Cons:

The quality of the breakfast was good but it took ages to cook. On Saturday we requested more tea but it did not arrive.

Pros:

Easy access to A1

Cons:

I had requested Oat milk prior to arrival and at breakfast was told they had run out and had no other alternative milk to offer me. So I had no tea or cereal for my breakfast,!
