Craiglynne Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room staff nice lovely breakfast.parking good"

Shore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautifully created small hotel with views to die for. The food, both dinner and breakfast could not be faulted. The staff really made sure we were well looked after. We will definitely be back. One very small suggestion. Due to the very clean and modern lines of the bar and restaurant sound echoes can make it difficult to hear. As we have seen in other restaurants there is the easy solution of sound absorbing panels to mount to the walls/ceiling. These can even be printed with pictures to disguise their purpose and add local interest. Otherwise don't change a thing. It is so near perfect."

Firth Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"To begin with, staff was very helpful and accommodating. The location was right across the beach, was lucky to be there when the heatwave hit, so the location was great for me. The room (no 5) was cosy, had a fan and a fridge and both have been welcomed. Nice toiletries, from my favourite brand. The room was clean, bed was somewhat comfortable, I like hard mattresses. 😅 The room got quite hot when outside were 29 degrees, but the fan did its job. I didn't have breakfast, I don't usually do, but I did have fish and chips and a glass of wine. The fish was fresh and the batter was amazing. I stayed 2 extra nights and again, staff was accommodating, gave me fresh towels and more milk at my request. The price of the room was low at that time and considering the location, it was a bargain. I enjoyed my stay here and I would book again. 😊"

Golf View Hotel

8/10 Good

"I love the location and been staying here on and off for 20 years but just feel the price is a little steep nowdays for a single person, especially as they want to charge you extra for breakfast. Staff are lovely and can't do enough to help you. Always clean and tidy and they are doing upgrades at the moments"

Ben Mhor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel room was modern and clean can’t fault, breakfast on the other hand was not so good , £12 for a fry up….pricey and not good, the fried egg was burnt the potato scone was like rubber and the haggis was all mush, came on a rectangle plate not round or square, not fit for purpose, whoever the cook is needs to learn how to fry an egg. I would stay at the hotel again and go for breakfast somewhere else."
