10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay at the Waterfront. Rooms were beautiful and so clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing with a great choice. Parking not great as there is NO actual hotel parking. It’s either local car parks or if you are lucky enough you can park on the street after 5 till 9am other than that there is a long stay car park about 10-15 minutes walk away.

10/10 Exceptional

I review leisure accommodation for a living and was extremely impressed with The Waterfront. The accommodation was a good standard, staff very friendly, position superb, and generally everything was as could as it could be. Where it really excelled though was the food, which was some of the best we've had, and we eat out a lot. I had the best fish pie I've ever eaten and the best breakfast too. This really is a total gem of a find and we are planning to go back for longer next time. There was only one minus point - our bedroom looked out over a pavement area, which was a bit noisy at times, but to be honest we had a large TV and once we had that on it didn't bother us. Don't let this put you off the stay, it's an amazing place to eat, so definitely book a table - you won't regret it! It is obviously well known as one of the best places to dine in the area as it was busy so you'll need to secure your table.

8/10 Very good

Room and staff great. Very good food. Buzzing atmosphere. But aware of you book the rooms in Harbour View you do not get a harbour view!! It us just the name of the building! To get a view of the harbour you need to book one of the 2 superior rooms.

The staff really make this place go. It is a little quirky and parking can be an issue depending on your arrival. But this is the perfect place to stay in Anstruther. The restaurant is exceptional, but the staff really made our stay. Super nice and understanding.
