Very comfortable and welcoming hotel
Pros:

The accommodation in the hotel was large and clean. The location was perfect near the waterfront and pier. The staff were wonderful and we had the best breakfast in Scotland there. The whisky selection was very extensive. We were given excellent recommendations regarding which distilleries to visit. World recommend the Havelock to others.

Aufenthalt war o.k.
Pros:

Wir waren insgesamt etwas enttäuscht, allerdings war die Lage gut, das Frühstück auch o.k., das Essen abends hat auch gut geschmeckt. Unser Zimmer war groß. Parken konnte man kostenlos auf dem hauseigenen Parkplatz.

Cons:

Wie schon erwähnt hatten wir ein sehr großes Zimmer und ein riesiges Badezimmer. Allerdings war beides mehr als ungemütlich, fast schon lieblos. Wir haben uns in den Räumlichkeiten nicht wohl gefühlt. Außerdem war es abends teilweise sehr laut, vom Pub aus und unten draußen auf der Straße. Und dafür war der Preis ganz schön deftig.

Pros:

Great location. Lovely staff. Comfortable beds. Clean, powerful shower. Very good food. Private parking.

Cons:

Nothing serious....it's a beautiful old building so sound insulation isn't good between rooms or from the bar. But nothing we couldn't live with.
