Great stay, lovely staff, good food

Overall a pleasant stay but tainted by the smell of cigarettes. Good on-site restaurant with a great breakfast and fantastic service. Nice views down to the water from the room, cosy sofa and spacious. The bed was small and uncomfortable. Excellent car park on site, great location with a nice convenience store close by. Unfortunately the popular pub downstairs has smokers using the main entrance which leads to the bedrooms, making this area smell of cigarettes. We were glad to have a room further away but needed to use that access to the restaurant. We would recommend allocating a smoking area away from the main entrance. Minor cleanliness and attention to detail missed such as dusty plants on dining room table. Still enjoyed our stay and all the nice food!

Ridiculous levels of noise.

Very disappointed. Stayed in Room 3 for our anniversary, and had 6 hours of BLARING MUSIC from the bar/public area below. It didn't relent until midnight. Absolutely horrendous, more like staying in a nightclub with a hotel attached. Was told that they make this clear at booking- they didn't - and that it was an old building. We paid extra for a room with a sea view too. If you are after peace and quiet - AVOID.

This property is a bit in a corner and out away from everything but homes. It served its purpose. It's not memorable so I only recommend if you are limited on options.

This was a one night stay before going for the Aberdeen ferry and it was in a very nice position to do that. However I really enjoyed it because it felt like a holiday because the area around is so lovely with an easy walk down to the harbour and the lovely cottages around. The staff were very friendly and the food was good. There is plenty of parking and the rooms were very nice with a comfortable bed. Absolutely nothing to dislike.

Cute small hotel with a great sea view restaurant. Full hot breakfast is included with room which was excellent and lots of choices. Lattes and flat whites were included with the breakfast. The staff are 5 star. So nice and accommodating and fast! We recommend this place. Be sure to reserve the sea view room as the room is large and has a nice size bed. The cottages are cute but small.

Walk down to the water on quiet side street no tourists around except us. Great old hotel on residential area. Good parking and safe at back of hotel. View of the ocean from our room. Great staff thank you Claire for check in and dinner service. Breakfast staff also very good. Had a good laugh at me for putting blueberries and strawberries in my orange juice! Thank you

Will book again.

Booked last minute with ease. Evening meal & breakfast were delicious 👌 Comfy bed (on the short side though) & lovely large shower. Bar & restaurant areas were warm & welcoming. Enjoyed our stay & will definitely book again.
