Location and the food.

I liked everything about our stay, the staff, the room, our meal at night and breakfast in the morning
There was nothing that we didn’t like
Breakfast was good but more sparse than at other places during our stay. My wife loved the porridge with honey that they provided. Beautiful view of the ocean to enjoy while eating breakfast or dinner. The room was clean and met our expectations.
Everything was fine with the location, no specific issues with anything. Some paint was chipping off of floor boards in the bathroom.
The breakfast was just "ok"The location advertised on tv did not meet expectations
The outside areas very messy, Doesn't look like the stv ad at all
Location close to family ... Breakfast choice was excellent plus good quality as well ...the staff were professional and friendly..
Not much to be honest ... Considering the age of the building the accommodation was better than expected...
Wonderful friendly staff, amazing food, comfortable spotless rooms located in an idyllic location with amazing views.
Location was good for work. room looked nice.
Shower was dreadful, a trickle. Bed was not very comfortable and so I didn't have a great sleep.
Everything about this place is excellent the staff the room and the food
What a little gem , a short distance from Aberdeen but so worth it.such a great find,restaurant was so nice, and breakfast was just as good,we had a big room with a sea view and it was comfy, clean and quiet.
Stairs are the only issue, but not a problem,just be aware you need to carry bags up. Otherwise it has such character.
room was ok for 1 night toilet blocked water very slow coming out and slow to drain had to wait a while for the hot water to get hot dinner was ok breakfast was good
this property is no good for people with disabilities or walking issues steps in restaurant stairs to room parking round the back of the pub then steps to get in the pub
Nice quiet location. Right next to the cove.
Room we got was abit small. Not to bad as we only stayed 1 night
Great staff and good location
