Nice hotel but could be so much better with a little focus
Pros:

A pleasant stay, everything was ok but for the price of accommodation , food, drink etc I just felt a little bit more TLC is needed to enhance the experience.

A Real Disappointment
Pros:

We had dinner in the restaurant this evening and were hoping for something special. What we got was food which was pretty ordinary, it was over priced and the service was awful.

We definitely won't be back.

Holiday leisure golf trip
Pros:

We had stayed at the hotel a few years ago whist doing a NC500 trip we decided to return as part of a Scottish holiday and chose Royal Marine due to its proximity to the golf course. We enjoyed our stay and our game.

Ideal for our needs
Pros:

The location of the hotel was excellent as we were playing golf at Brora GC

Cons:

A slight hiccup with the room allocation. Order two twins however this some how translated into single occupancy. The staff sorted it out which was great
