Fantastic hotel for visiting sites in Fife

Mr Brian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very pleasant surroundings, beautiful building. perfect grounds. I had a single room only which was very nice and bright with strong water pressure. Would stay again. Maybe i misunderstood but adding breakfast would add £ 40.... Excellent stay

A great experience

So many positives: stunning grounds, beautiful property, fantastic restaurant and amazing staff. Negatives: The bed was far too soft and marks on furniture. Still deserves a 5 Star for overall experience.

Excellent hotel

Great stay. Friendly helpful staff. Good breakfast and dining options.
Malcolm, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good but not excellent

Superb grounds, lovely garden, comfortable room. Suggest they think about their dining room music as technobeat not favourite with the pensioner market!! One or two minor maintenance issues - basin pop up plug & escutcheon. Very helpful staff Really irritating experience with EVcharger— not hotel’s fault but part of the reason we chose it. Restaurant prides itself on good Scottish food : public health / short life span contribution could be to offer more included vegetables!!!

Best hotel so far

Stayed with our 2 dogs, very nice room, huge with sofa, so very convenient Staff were super friendly and efficient, hotel and grounds were gorgeous.

Lovely and scenery environment
Okikioluwa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lots of potential

Amazing house. Large rooms, but awkwardly set up. Bath only, no shower. No conditioner in shower, no easy place for hair dryer. Pretty dusty room. But there is a lot of potential here with some minor tweaks for a better guest experience. I’d recommend management to spend a few nights in the hotel to pick up on these small things.

Beautiful hotel, set in fantastic surroundings. Friendly, helpful staff. Great function hall, beautiful bar (The Library). The room was large, very much in keeping with the style of the hotel I'll definately be back.
