We had the misfortune to be booked for 3 nights. in this hotel, this week (if you could call it that!) We were asked over the 'phone to pay "upfront", something which we never usually do, but, but on this occasion we did. We unfortunately (???) could not make the 1st night because of a family problem, and thank goodness!!!... More

High Tea service today was indifferent painfully slow. I knew the food was going to be bad when I asked the waitress for a recommendation and she hesitated without saying anything. I went for the haddock, my mother went for the best sirloin steak at 17 GBP. The steak was the worst and toughest steak she ever had. She complained... More

Dear Lord_Carmudgeon, Thank you for your recent review on Trip Advisor. I am disappointed that the food was not as expected and you are quite correct in letting us know on the day. All our produce is locally sourced and we only use Scottish beef which is renowned for its quality. Yours Sincerely Mike Sheffield More

The weather was sunny but very cold for May. The hotel was very warm. The dining experience was OK. The dining room was large and empty apart from us, the waiting staff very efficient. The food was nothing startling. The bedroom (number 20) was indeed a trip back in time but two major things stood out. The TV was a... More

My friend and i spent 2 nights at the Craw's Nest. We found the staff to be very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We were warned that the hotel was old fashioned and that turned out to be true, It was like walking out of the tardis from Doctor Who and going back about 40 years. Having said... More

Just returned home with my husband from a weekend stay at the 'apparently' famous Craws Nest Hotel in Anstruther. Where does one start? All the reviews that you can see are true - this is a hotel stuck in a 70's time warp and is very old fashioned with nobody making any effort to acknowledge or upgrade this issue. Our... More

The rooms are tired - very tired indeed - and in need of some serious updating. Our original room was tiny, cold, noisy and overlooking the car park.
