Had a lovely stay here for one night. Good car parking. Food was lovely with a really lovely breakfast. Room was lovely. Only thing was the hot water. Took 2-3 minutes to get hot although there was a sign to say this. Water in the shower and in the sink were slow in draining away.

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.
