Time Machine to 1975
Pros:

It's an old hotel that has just recently been bought out so I expect nothing is going to change until it closes and has a complete refurb. If you want to be transported into the 1970's world of Open Golf, drinks in a big wooden bar, old wooden banisters, then this is your place. It'd make a fabulous film set. It'll be sad to have Buzzworks the new owners change it out of all recognition. The South Beach is an institution, it has a fantastic location and the staff are delightful. The breakfast was actually better than a similar expensive one at Buzzworks Lido Cafe. At least the poached eggs were soft. However ... The beds were appalling.

Cons:

The beds. Like sleeping on wooden benches.

Pros:

Location and dinner food.

Cons:

Breakfast was not the best, the smallest home made potato scone l have ever seen in a Scottish hotel, and a bit disorganised. Beds were clean and comfortable but the furnishings and decor need more attention to detail. Seemed a bit understaffed.
