Verified traveller

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our room was very clean, roomy with lots of storage and very comfortable beds. Our bed was on the wall adjacent to next doors bathroom. There does not appear to be any sound insulation between the rooms as we could hear everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, coming from next door. We had one couple next door who were obviously talking to each other while one was in the bathroom and the other in the bedroom. It went on for two hours, preventing us from getting to sleep. You should be able to do this without worrying about annoying anyone in the next room. When we checked out we asked about this and we were told that the rooms were refurbished after COVID and no one has complained about this before which I find extremely difficult to believe. They also seem very keen on leaving lights on. There was a massive security light outside our room in the courtyard which was on day and night. We also had our bedroom window open the first night but had to close it due to the noise, possibly coming from a boiler or some sort of machinery. Its such a shame about these issues as otherwise it was lovely but this would put us off going back.

Best place to stay in Anstruther.
Very nice hotel and restaurant. One of the few places to get something other than fish and chips or take-away. Couldn’t beat the location.

Nice East coast location, great coastal walks.
We stayed 4 nights. Very comfortable room with everything needed. Great breakfast choices overall, with lovely bowls of fresh fruits - though disappointed with very overcooked bacon, which we reported at the time. We walked the coast in both directions. Lovely walks, detouring into lovely little villages. Very good bus service.

Waterfront hotel in the middle of cute fishing tow
Waterfront hotel rooms are located behind their restaurant. You check in to your room at the restaurant. Our room was small but nicely furnished and had a large bathroom. A quiet courtyard has outdoor seating. Breakfast was included. It was order off the menu with a great selection. In fact this was the best breakfast of our 16-day vacation.This restaurant also serves dinner and I think it was the best in town. The hotel is located in the center of town but most places close at 9pm.
