Bring a big jacket.....

only for when you get out the car 😀 The hotel was all we expected frm previous reviews. One night stopover for football at Cove Rangers, but would certainly go back for a longer visit. Everything was exceptionally good, except the articesque blast of wind that greeeted us in the carpark. The quality shown through from the staff to the food and the accommodation. Highly recommended.

Great stay, lovely staff, good food

Overall a pleasant stay but tainted by the smell of cigarettes. Good on-site restaurant with a great breakfast and fantastic service. Nice views down to the water from the room, cosy sofa and spacious. The bed was small and uncomfortable. Excellent car park on site, great location with a nice convenience store close by. Unfortunately the popular pub downstairs has smokers using the main entrance which leads to the bedrooms, making this area smell of cigarettes. We were glad to have a room further away but needed to use that access to the restaurant. We would recommend allocating a smoking area away from the main entrance. Minor cleanliness and attention to detail missed such as dusty plants on dining room table. Still enjoyed our stay and all the nice food!

Ridiculous levels of noise.

Very disappointed. Stayed in Room 3 for our anniversary, and had 6 hours of BLARING MUSIC from the bar/public area below. It didn't relent until midnight. Absolutely horrendous, more like staying in a nightclub with a hotel attached. Was told that they make this clear at booking- they didn't - and that it was an old building. We paid extra for a room with a sea view too. If you are after peace and quiet - AVOID.
