BRENDA

This was a one night stay before going for the Aberdeen ferry and it was in a very nice position to do that. However I really enjoyed it because it felt like a holiday because the area around is so lovely with an easy walk down to the harbour and the lovely cottages around. The staff were very friendly and the food was good. There is plenty of parking and the rooms were very nice with a comfortable bed. Absolutely nothing to dislike.

Cute small hotel with a great sea view restaurant. Full hot breakfast is included with room which was excellent and lots of choices. Lattes and flat whites were included with the breakfast. The staff are 5 star. So nice and accommodating and fast! We recommend this place. Be sure to reserve the sea view room as the room is large and has a nice size bed. The cottages are cute but small.
