8/10 Very good

Excellent facilities,excellent food, particularly the Indian restaurant. Friendly and obliging staff. Superb beer garden and good well kept ales. Stairs and landing carpet could do with a makeover, other than that excellent.

Plus points: Excellent location. Quirkiness. Excellent cooked breakfast. In the process of being refurbished - comfortable at the moment, but needs redecorating.

Do not book this hotel if cleanliness is important to you. Although the surfaces and bathroom were clean the bedroom floor and skirting area, showerhead and window were dirty. We stayed two nights and our room was not serviced for the second day. There were various things in our room which were in need of repair. Not the standard you would expect when you have paid £100 per night. The bar area and reception were untidy. The positives are that the hotel staff were polite and location is lovely.

The staff of just two were helpful and kind. The establishment is v tired and run down; it requires total refurbishment which would, hopefully, eliminate the pervasive musty smell.

The staff were polite enough. Enjoyed talking to them, but, it states parking, there was no parking. There is street parking but not specific to the hotel, so first come first serve on the street. Rooms were tidy but cuboard under the sink was full of mold. Lots of holes in walls and I pointed at to one member of staff the waterfall coming from upstairs in the hallway (it was a dry day so maybe a shower overflow?). Dinner was good but was a struggle trying to get attention. No toilet roll in rooms but you can ask a staff member.

2/10 Poor

First day found the hotel looking very tired in need of a full upgrade. Tools and old furniture hanging about. Not child friendly. Not very clean. Bedrooms not very clean.Bed ok. One of the towels had to be changed because it had dirty marks on it. Staff polite. First days full breakfast was very nice. But second day bacon frazzled and sausages burnt. Last day no egg? Sausage tasted off left most of it. Last night loads of shouting and banging of doors at 2am! Please dont stay here. Needs a lot of work doing to it.

The stay was just for overnight on way to Edinburgh. The hotel itself ok but the town was cute walkable and right on the North Sea. Found a great pub and then a restaurant for an amazing dinner. The hotel did live up to the haunted tales as we did experience something paranormal but not scary.

The hotel was being renovated. Our room was in the process of updating and was not ready to be let out. It had clean bed linen, but needed a thorough clean not just top dusting. It was understaffed with the few staff trying to do everything and failing. I could list all the faults which are the same as previous reviews. The main problem was that all the electric appliances were run from a multiplug, including the kettle, the TV and an old convector heater brought into the room as the radiators didn't work. Unfortunately this was a last minute booking and we were unable to go elsewhere, so had to stay. To be fair the staff were pleasant and helpful when we asked for anything and did sort out an overcharging issue discovered when we arrived home but they were totally overwhelmed with trying to renovate and run a hotel at the same time.

Friendly staff. Good food. Clearly there are some issues regarding the management if the hotel as the decor was tired, some things like the bathroom extraction did not work and it was evident that underneath the beds had not been cleaned in a long time. But overall the stay was pleasant. Overpriced for what you get.

Plain but comfortable room. Bar and restaurant areas exceptoinally and clean and well organised and a credit to the staff; who were welcoming, friendly and always willing to go the extra mile. Food was beyond expectation; this is great place to eat; and takeaways seem to be very popular.
