Great stay and a perfect amenity at a reasonable price
Pros:

Barbara was exceptional and very helpful at reception in organising a taxi to take us to Gullane. Her knowledge of the property, other staff members, friendliness and local services was excellent.
The setting is spectacular with wonderful panoramic views over the Firth of Forth and adjacent golf courses (Craigielaw and Kilspindie)
Breakfast was standard and good - could have had more fresh fruit and cereal options with seeds and berries and better quality muesli / porridge.

Cons:

As above - re breakfast. That apart the evening meal was good and reasonably priced and our party enjoyed the golf course and practice facilitiesly

Excellent, we will be back!
Pros:

All the food was excellent, well cooked and well presented. All the staff were absolutely first class, helpful, friendly and happy people! They maintained a high standard in all the areas.

Cons:

The chairs in the bedroom were very uncomfortable, there is plenty space to have two more comfortable chairs, or even a sofa at the wall by the window. The dining area chairs were good and comfortable, they had arm rests.
