    • The room
    • We enjoyed the whole stay with our family. Nice and clean rooms with a view over the sea, Lovely dinner in the restaurant and an amazing breakfast in the morning. Thanks a lot.
    • Room was spotless and comfortable. Quite small but perfectly fine for an overnight. Dinner was good value and well cooked standard fare. Breakfast was good with a buffet continental selection and an individually cooked hot breakfast, ingredients for the cooked breakfast were excellent.

    Cons -

    • No refund for 1 night as my work changed the date of my work I requested a refund and they refused Not great
    • There is no lounge seating area for guests, only the pub part and the restaurant which somewhat confined you to your room. Alcohol prices were very expensive for the standard of hotel.
    • Freezing cold room and ensuite.

    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

    7JonathanPosted on: 1-19-2026

    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.

    5EdwardPosted on: 1-16-2026

    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

    10NeilPosted on: 1-15-2026

    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...

    10TonyPosted on: 12-31-2025

    Wonderful friendly staff, amazing food, comfortable spotless rooms located in an idyllic location with amazing views.

    3MarkPosted on: 11-14-2025

    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.

    10BrownePosted on: 11-12-2025

    Everything about this place is excellent the staff the room and the food

    9GenellePosted on: 11-9-2025

    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.

    5ElizabethPosted on: 11-7-2025

    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
