Very run down accommodation. Cleanliness poor, bed and pillows uncomfortable, bathroom had an unpleasant smell. Told front door was open until 10.pm arrived back at 6pm to find it looked. Rang hotel for someone to let us in and we were told we should have used the door code. Next day door locked again tried doorcode 4 times and wouldn't unlock. Rang hotel again and made to feel that we had bothered them. Never any staff about. Made to feel that as we were out of season and they couldn't be bothered. Not allowed to add photos of hotel and staff without their permission.
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.
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.
Friendly staff but property unfinished, dirty under the bed that doesn't look like its been cleaned for months and in dire need of refurbishment. Also very limited breakfast choice with no options if you are a vegetarian or vegan.
Room was very tired with exposed electrical wires, the room has never been dusted (cobwebs everywhere). Worst of all the bedding on one of the beds has never been changed from previous guests. Majority of the bedding and towels had marks on them. Would never go back
All of these reviews are correct. I stayed here for one night, and it was basically fine. Towels were obviously clean (as in they had been washed) but were stained; bedding was clean. Some hairs in the shower etc âŠ
The decor is in need of
It was ok, parts of hotel are in need of renovation but basically clean. Room was small for 2 of us for 4 day stay. Breakfast was freshly cooked but a bit sparse for me as Iâm gluten intolerant and they didnât seem to understand what that meant. We didnât eat in the hotel- feel that if they upped their game on the food it would help reviews.
We had read that the hotel was being refurbished by new owners, but felt that our room, whilst clean, was unfinished. There was no toilet roll holder; the en-suite door frame had been primed but not painted; areas around the window needed decorating; a strip of new coving was not properly fixed to the ceiling and there was a strange plastic tube with a tissue stuffed in the end running across the top of the window. Personally we also disliked the laminate flooring and the fact that the window (ground floor, street facing) had only vertical blinds and no curtains. All that being said, this room was at least 40% cheaper than anything else in the area for the one night that we wanted and clearly some work had been done as the en-suite looked new with quality tiling, and the ceiling looked new.
