Pros:

La nostra camera era in un edificio a fianco, non proprio dentro l'hotel, con una scala ripida e posizionata a livello dei tetti. Camera molto piccola nessuna possibilità di aprire la valigia o appendere qualcosa. Il bagno piccolo, doccia walk-in, con una parete aperta. La camera era estremamente calda. La colazione abbastanza buona con piatti caldi preparati al momento oltre a brioche e marmellata.

Cons:

Non ho molto apprezzato questo hotel, l'ho trovato trascurato e poco pulito, il portico davanti alla struttura era sporco e mal tenuto, questo portico viene usato per il ristorante dell'hotel. Il bagno piccolo, la doccia era walk-in, con una parete aperta, ma essendo una doccia piccola l'acqua usciva e non c'era modo di far defluire l'acqua in quanto non c'era nessuna bocchetta a terra. La sala colazione presentava macchie di muffa nella controsoffittatura.

decepcionante
Pros:

La habitación está bien, pequeña , pero está limpia y la cama es cómoda. Lo mejor es el pueblo que es muy bonito y el hotel está justo en el centro.

Cons:

El precio nos parece carísimo para lo que es ( al cambio 158,83€ una noche) . Nuestra habitación estaba en un rincón con vistas a los cubos de basura por un lado y al patio interior donde están las tuberías y la maquinaria por el otro lado. No es lo que esperábamos por ese precio, no es una habitación doble de luxe. No esperábamos tener la habitación "Outlander" , que hubiera sido mucha suerte , pero sí que por lo menos tuviera vistas a la plaza. Si vais buscando la experiencia Outlander no vale la pena, creo que casi ninguna habitación tiene vistas a la plaza. Puedes visitar Falkland en una hora y hacerte la foto de rigor en la fuente, no es necesario que te alojes en el hotel porque te va a decepcionar.

A charming and welcoming hotel in a magical village that made the perfect start to our adventure
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at The Covenanter during the first part of our Scotland holiday and couldn't have chosen a better base for exploring Fife.

The hotel is located in the heart of the beautiful village of Falkland, which is peaceful, charming and almost magical. Fans of Outlander will especially love staying here, as the village was used as 1940s Inverness in the series. Walking around the village in the evening after the day visitors had gone home and early in the morning was a real highlight of our trip.

Our room was quiet, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Housekeeping did an excellent job every day, so it was always lovely to return after a full day of sightseeing.

The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay and always happy to help.

Breakfast each morning was very good and set us up perfectly for a day of exploring. Having the hotel's restaurant on site was also incredibly convenient. After long days sightseeing, it was nice to simply relax and enjoy a delicious evening meal without having to drive elsewhere. We ate there every evening and also enjoyed sampling some excellent beer, cider and whisky.

Parking was never an issue. There is plenty of free street parking nearby, which made arriving and leaving completely stress-free.

The Covenanter was the perfect base for visiting many of Fife's attractions, including Culross, Linlithgow Palace, Midhope Castle (Lallybroch), Blackness Castle and even Doune Castle.

Overall, we had a fantastic stay and wouldn't hesitate to return. We would happily recommend The Covenanter to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming hotel in one of Scotland's most beautiful villages.

Cons:

The only minor downside was having to carry our two large suitcases up the stairs to our room. However, given that The Covenanter is such a beautiful historic building, this is completely understandable and did not detract from our overall stay.

Det emmer af Outlander og Jamie Fraser
Pros:

Stedet var valgt primært pga historien/serien Outlander, hvor en central scene er optaget her. Det var en del af oplevelsen af overnatte hos "Mrs. Bairds". Værelset (Queens) var relativt nyligt istandsat og ok. Vi spiste aftensmad i restauranten og det var udmærket. Personalet var venlige og morgenmaden var god. Alt i alt en god oplevelse.

Un petit gout de déception ...
Pros:

L'hôtel est dans le joli petit village de Falkland, très calme.
Le lit était minuscule mais confortable.
Point d'intérêt avec la série Outlander !

Cons:

Malheureusement j'ai été un peu déçue par cette expérience.
La chambre qui était très petite et avec un plancher tellement bancale que j'en avais des nausées.
Le lit était minuscule (140cm), le battant des toilettes n'était pas correctement fixé, les stores ne fermaient pas correctement et impossible de les ouvrir pour pouvoir ouvrir la fenêtre (et il faisait très chaud).
La salle de bain est très jolie mais la paroi de douche est beaucoup trop petite, ce qui fait qu'on met de l'eau partout en se douchant.
Quant à l'accueil, elle n'a pas été très chaleureuse. La personne qui nous a accueilli nous a ouvert la chambre, donné les clés et s'en est allée sans nous donner aucune informations; dans l'absolu ce n'est pas très grave sauf que, nous sommes arrivées vers 20h et lorsqu'on a évoqué l'idée de diner, les jeunes femmes présentes se sont moqué en nous annonçant comme si c'était une évidence, que le restaurant de l'hôtel fermait à 17h (c'était un mardi soir). Rien d'autre n'étant ouvert dans le village, nous avons du aller à plusieurs miles de là. Le temps que l'on trouve où diner et qu'on revienne, l'hôtel était fermé. Il a fallu qu'on comprenne seules que le trousseau de notre chambre comprenait la clé de la poste d'entrée, qu'il fallait tourner le verrou en sens inverse et pousser très fort .... bref, gros moment de solitude où on a bien cru qu'on dormirait dans la voiture !
Le petit déjeuner était classique, personnellement je n'y ai rien trouvé à mon gout. Mes œufs étaient très gras et le café avait un gour de brulé.
Bref un gout de déception pour cet hôtel que j'avais pourtant réservé en premier tant j'avais envie d'y aller.
Le rapport qualité/prix n'est clairement pas là.

Cons:

At £150 a night a bit to much £100 would be about right for what was on offer
