“The Kinloch Arms Hotel, near Carnoustie's beach and train station, strikes me as exceptionally clean and conveniently located. I noticed that the full Scottish breakfast gets high marks, and the spacious car park certainly adds to the appeal. It seems you can expect a quiet room despite the lively pub.”
