uncomfortable seating plastic flowers
I was initially excited about my stay, especially after seeing the photos online. sadly, the reality didn't quite match the expectations. the lack of comfortable seating in the room was a real letdown. There was only one chair, made relaxing quite difficult. the absence of drawers also meant i had to live out of my suitcase. the plastic flowers outside felt a bit cheap and detracted from the overall aesthetic. i did not find my stay great!!!

Wonderful stay in Fife

convenient car park clean room delicious breakfast
The hotel has a convenient car park, and i found it easy to get a space. My room was clean. I really appreciated that. Breakfast was delicious, with a good selection of both hot and cold items (the scrambled eggs were a highlight!).
The absence of a lift made it a little difficult to get luggage to the upper floors.
