Sehr angenehmes Hotel mit sehr freundlichem Personal, sehr gutem Essen und gemütlichem Pub
Pros:

Sehr nettes Hotel mit gemütlichem Pub, sehr freundliches Personal, sehr gutes Frühstück und Essen im gemütlichen Dining room mit Meerblick. Das Zimmer war groß, mit sehr bequemem Badezimmer und einem kleinen Wohnzimmer mit Meerblick. Obwohl die Fenster des Schlafzimmers auf die Straße gerichtet sind, war der Lärm sehr erträglich. Wenn ich wieder nach Anstruther käme, würde ich sehr gerne wieder in das The Bank kommen.

Cons:

Nichts

Pros:

Sind sofort wieder abgereist ...

Cons:

Sind sofort wieder abgereist, mussten aber trotzdem nach Beschwerde über den unzumutbaren Zustand des Bades (Schimmel, Kaputte Fliesen überall, stechender Geruch) trotzdem einen reduzierten Preis bezahlen. Es hieß, man solle sich an den Manager per Mail wenden- keine Antwort, über Booking.com konnte man uns auch nicht helfen

Lovely stay in Anstruther
Pros:

Great location. The breakfast is amazing - you get a lot of choice from a nice à la carte menu and everything was really tasty. We also liked the hotel guest beer garden at the back that caught the sun in the afternoon

Big room and everything was very clean

Cons:

The furniture was pretty dated and the mattress wasn’t great - we only stayed one night so not an issue but maybe be for longer stays

Lovely hotel with a great location and view
Pros:

Location and room. The breakfast and dinner wait staff were lovely.

Cons:

The staff for checking in at the bar could be friendlier. Room was very warm. The staff did manage to come up and open the inoperable window to let some air in. The refrigerator did not cool and felt as if it was overheating in the cabinet. Nothing was done about it.
