"Beautiful beach view. Peaceful location"

6.0

Lovely location, wonderful beach view from our room. Friendly and welcoming staff. Great breakfast.

The only thing we found fault with was how hard the mattress and pillows were. I gave feedback on checkout. Had a difficult restless night with a 12 hour road journey ahead of us. Otherwise, it's a lovely hotel, I feel mean to give a lower score, but sleep is important.

"Enjoyable couple of days ."

9.0

Very clean , comfortable and lovely staff. We had a couple of really good evening meals at the hotel.

Disappointing breakfast on 2nd day . Lots of choice and could have had a full Scottish , however I chose just 3 items and was surprised at the meagre size. -half a tomato a small spoon of beans and one hard poached egg.Otherwise it’s been great.

"Would go back but would want a different room"

8.0

The staff were superb. Nothing was too much trouble. Friendly and helpful at all times. Really good location.

The room (named Smith, no room numbers used in this hotel) had everything I needed but until about 11.00 at night was a bit noisy due to it being near the kitchen extractor fan and the bar sound system.
