Pros:

Nice room and the location provides easy access to town.

Cons:

There is no parking and even getting to the hotel to check in is a disaster on narrow streets and crazy intersections and ultimately no place to even pull over. Eventually they directed us to a free city parking lot a couple blocks away. Never mentioned these details in the listing. And the pub spilled over onto the sidewalk right outside our room and the uproar kept us awake until past 1am.

Good food, good facilities, good staff, super food
Pros:

We spent the night at the bank and were very satisfied with the location (a minutes walk from the harbour) and the room was excellent, comfy bed and clean all over, and the shower was good too. Breakfast was superb and staff were very attentive. We had dinner in the restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Cons:

Was a bit warm in the room during the night but our fault we should have opened a window before we fell asleep

Very enjoyable, the staff were excellent 👍
Pros:

Very clean, spacious room

Cons:

Parking was limited but it would be difficult to improve due to the narrow streets in Anstruther. Free parking available reasonably close by so no big deal.
