Great week

Nice clean modern hotel with exceptional service from staff at all times. Room was spacious and the sea view was great to wake up to every morning. Food in the restaurant was of a high standard and breakfast was fantastic.
Stephen, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. The meals were excellent, however I’d recommend that you book your time of eating in advance of staying at the hotel because the week end was very busy and we didn’t get served our meal the Saturday night until after 8 pm.
Bruce, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel. Vastly exceeded my expectation. Lovely spacious room. Mine had a terrace where it was nice to sit with a beer or glass of wine while the sun went down. Restaurant is fantastic for breakfast and dinner. Only slight niggle is frustrating WiFi which has to be rejoined at least daily and frequently more often.

This is a newly renovated hotel. Excellent room, food and staff. I’ll not stay anywhere else for future trips in that area.

Kimberley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The breakfast menu was excellent as was the dinner menu. Only problem was that we should have booked a a dinner time before arriving as it was extremely busy on the Saturday and only time left was 7.30 so it was well after 8 pm before we actually ate. The bed was very comfortable but pillows we thought weren’t high quality so spoilt our sleep.

Our stay was excellent with friendly staff ,excellent food ,clean and well appointed room but for the noise from the room’s automatic doors always sounding as if someone outside was slamming the door shut.

Mrs R M, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel phoned on morning of arrival and asked what type of bed we required (double or twin) we arrived in the afternoon and we were shown to our room and asked if we wanted to book for dinner in the evening as it was busy. Our room was new and had an added bonus of a balcony which was great as the weather was nice enough to sit out. The bed was really comfy, room has tea and coffee facilities and a fridge, the bathroom has toiletries provided and a large walk in shower. There is also a hairdryer in the bedroom. Breakfast at the hotel has a good selection of cereals fruit juices, bread and cooked items.

Fabulous Hotel

Such a beautiful hotel, staff were fantastic and the food is absolutely delicious. I stayed in room 101, which had an outside terrace. The room and bathroom were huge and the bed extremely comfortable. So great that I booked a couple of night for my next business trip. Thank you.

MacDuff with a view of the sea.

An excellent experience. I was in one of the newly built rooms in the extension. A view out over the town to the sea. Beatifully appointed room. Tastefully decorated and a pleasure to retire to.
