A posh-feeling stay at a reasonable rate. Don't miss this gem of a hotel on the Scottish waterfront.
Pros:

After traveling for two weeks, and staying in rooms from bargain to posh, I was expecting a so-so room for the price. What I got was the best room of my trip. While the room was not posh, it was clean, very comfortable, and quiet. The moment I walked, the room smelled clean; an impression that was held up throughout my stay as I saw not a speck of dust. While far from the poshest stay, the bed was the most comfortable. The location was ideal and the sound of waves and seagulls was incredibly relaxing. I was concerend about staying on the weekend above a pub, but I never heard a single sound from the pub. I had three meals in the pub and the food was superb every time. From the helpful and friendly staff to the amazing location, I have not a single complaint about the Old Brewhouse!

A comfortable stay at the seafront and close to local amenities
Pros:

I really enjoyed booking the large, sea-facing room, which I felt was good value too. The bed was comfortable, and the bar/restaurant (although I didn't use it) looked nice and was busy. Seafront location was great for views, and the location was only 5-10 mins from pubs and restaurant options.

Cons:

My only disappointment was that breakfast wasn't offered until 9:30am, which being a longstanding traveller to be very rare (IMHO, this 'absorbs' one's entire morning when you might otherwise want to get out and explore after a nice meal to start). Thankfully the weather was fine, and I went to a nearby hotel/restaurant to eat at 8:00am.

Ich habe den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würde jederzeit wiederkommen!
Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr großzügig und wunderschön ausgestattet. Im Pub konnte man fantastisch essen und das Frühstücksangebot war sehr reichhaltig. Es gab auch regionale Spezialitäten, wie beispielsweise Arbroath Smokies. Man wurde stets ausgesprochen freundlich bedient und ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage direkt am Hafen war auch perfekt und ein Abendspaziergang ist sehr zu empfehlen. Nachts sieht man die Lichter von Bell Rock!
