“Earl David's recent renovations shine through, especially in the clean, spacious rooms; its proximity to the beach and the Pictish caves at East Wemyss makes it quite appealing. The on-site Nepalese restaurant clearly has a following, judging by the crowds. For a base to explore Fife and beyond, you get solid value here.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Earl David Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Earl David Hotel is generally considered a pleasant and clean place to stay, with comfortable beds and well-maintained, modern rooms; some guests find the rooms fairly compact, yet still big enough to be comfortable. Many appreciate the convenience of in-room amenities like tea/coffee, water, and USB sockets. Its location is ideal for exploring the Fife coastal path, offering opportunities for scenic walks and castle views between East and West Wemyss, and is a reasonable distance from St Andrews; being close to Edinburgh is an advantage for some. The on-site Shimla restaurant, serving Nepali cuisine, is a highlight for many, often praised for its excellent food.

the staff was gentle and they carried our luggage to the room, despite there is not an elevator. the nepalese men from the staff are careful to suggest the right foods and they are really interested on our opinion about the dishes.
