Für einen Zwischenstopp sehr gutes Hotel.
Pros:

Wir haben hier einen Zwischenstopp eingelegt, auf unserer Reise durch Schottland. Das Hotel ist gut gelegen und hat einen eigenen Parkplatz. Abends haben wir sehr gut im Hotelrestaurant gegessen. Das Frühstück wurde größtenteils frisch zubereitet.

Unexpected gem!
Pros:

This hotel was so nice. We had a regular room but it was quite large. The bathroom was nice. The restaurant was so good!! We were able to walk down to the North Sea and we spotted some dolphins! We highly recommend this hotel.

Well kept hotel close to Aberdeen located in spectacular coastal area with an excellent restaurant
Pros:

Well kept hotel close to Aberdeen located in spectacular coastal area that is very easy to be a base for seeing area attractions - good highway connections. The hotel restaurant is deservedly busy because the food is good. Best to book a table especially at weekends. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Who on Earth has a 99 channel tv in a UK hotel room without BBC1? So had to go elsewhere to see the FA Cup final.

Mooi pittoresk en authentiek hotel om in te verblijven, lekker dicht bij zee.
Pros:

Erg leuk pand om in te verblijven. Personeel was netjes en behulpzaam. Eten diner en ontbijt was goed. Kamer rustig gelegen aan de voorkant. Leuk en mooi uitzicht vanaf het restaurant op zee. Ons vervoermiddel stond mooi veilig achter het pand.

Cons:

Door de gordijnen niet heel erg donker, maar lekker geslapen. De ventilator van de badkamer maakt veel lawaai. Het lijkt of er een vrachtwagen voor het raam stationair staat te draaien met de motor. De douches gaf lekker warm water, maar geen constante stroom. Gaf een soort van pulserend effect. Net alsof er niet voldoende waterdruk was. Verder overigens geen schommeling in temperatuur. Dus niet koud-warm, maar hard-zacht.

Goed hotel voor kort verblijf om de toeristische plekken in de buurt te bezoeken.
Pros:

Hotel heeft pub en restaurant in 1 gebouw, kijkt mooi uit over zee, ge-moderniseerde badkamer. Ontbijt was redelijk.

Cons:

2 persoons bed was te smal en tekort, je moet met je koffers veel smalle trapopgangen op tillen om je kamer te bereiken. Kraan in de wasbak van de badkamer geeft weinig krachtige waterstraal en wordt slecht warm.

Pros:

I loved the room as it was a room with a sea view, so it was just nice to sit at the window window and look out of it, the washroom was lovely and clean, all of the room was clean though and the hotel and all of the areas. I loved how there was direct bus to aberdeen city centre just in the bay area 5 minute walk from the hotel... the staff were super polite and very attentive and did a very good job at staying on top of room service. Breakfast was lovely. Dinner was lovely. The staff are very clear that they do go home at a certain time so leave us with a key to leave the premises if needs be.

Cons:

No Bath. The drawers are too big next to the bed so they are just there as you turn over so unfortunately can bang your head on the drawers.
