We did not stay the night but popped in for lunch. Being from Fife we remember well when this was an award winning restaurant where you went for "a treat". How times have changed!! We did drive past as we thought it would be a bit expensive (given the name and reputation) and the food may not be the wholesome... More

Please ask for a room on the opposite side of the kitchen. Our room, (9) was above the kitchen and we could smell the food being cooked, mostly the smell was of cooking oil. The bathroom smelled of it too. But.... the hotel is lovely, the staff very helpful and the food is very good. The breakfast was very tasty... More

My partner and I went to New Year's Eve dinner dance, which included an overnight stay in this hotel. While the room was small it was comfortable and adequate with a comfortable bed and a large built in wardrobe. The hotel is a bit dated and does need some refurbishing but despite that it was a good place to stay.... More

Have just returned home after three nights in this hotel. Previous comments correct in that hotel tired and in desperate need of refurbishment, particularly the sad unwelcoming Residents' Lounge. Probably relies too much on past reputation and I agree that the hotel probably looked the same when the Queen visited. However, good points are food was very good and plenty... More
