Fijn hotel met zeezicht, en zicht op Edinburgh
Pros:

Ontbijt: We kregen een menu, waaruit we konden kiezen, en dat was heerlijk. Het Schotse ontbijt, en de eggs Benedict waren prima!
De het grote bed was heerlijk: goede matras, breed,... Heel aangenaam.
Een ruime kamer, maar: mét zeezicht! We konden Edinburgh zien liggen aan de overkant: fantastisch! Ook een bezoekje aan het strand, was makkelijk en heel dichtbij! Heel fijn ook, dat we ter plaatse een avondmaal konden nemen, dat trouwens echt lekker was!

Cons:

Het bed voor onze zoon was minder aangenaam om op te slapen: smal, en geen makkelijke matras.
Het hotel lag niet onmiddellijk op onze reisroute, maar was wel redelijk makkelijk bereikbaar. Je hebt de keuze om de route te nemen, die het kortste is, maar die is ook vrij steil: spannend wel. De andere route is mooi en comfortabel.

Excellent place to stay to enjoy Burntisland.
Pros:

Location so close to the beach is perfect. The hotel
Is clean and having only four bedrooms makes the stay personal. Good parking to the rear of property. The breakfast was superb, the restaurant menu excellent. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The mattresses in room 4 noisy when moving.

Really nice place
Pros:

Really nice place. Nice bar and restaurant, with a separate, big bar for sports viewing or functions. Nice, suntrap garden area. Big room, nicely decorated. Nice staff. Great food and really nice breakfast. Also great location - just up from the beautiful bay and away from the main town centre (which is only a short walk away). Can be a bit "lively" in the town but no madness here - lovely bar and restaurant. Really nice.

Cons:

Only minor things - thin doors to room and very creaky floors - can hear a bit of noise from the bar and the TV only really worked on 1 or 2 channels- needs boosted. However, noise would only have bothered me if I was there for work and going to bed really early - it's only minor. More than made up for by the lovely place. Definitely best location in Burntisland - just up from the beautiful bay.

Cons:

Nothing stood out as needing improvement

Short stay for a family event
Pros:

Very friendly staff. Once you had your room key, you could enter the building any time of night you wanted, as long as you respected the other guests & neighbours. Room I had was en-suite, so didn't need to worry about shared facilities. They accommodated my advanced request for an early arrival (1230pm) so I could attend a family event that started at 2pm nearby.

Cons:

No obvious reception area for guests staying the night; I had to go into the restaurant area to find a member of staff (who was very helpful though).
Not realising how old the building was from the photos. This is only an issue if you're over 6ft tall, as a number of the doors aren't much taller than this. This made the shower a 'cozy' experience.
Something not every guest might appreciate is the trainline being about 150m away; wasn't a problem for myself.
