“Comfort, a warm welcome and a superb meal after a long days work !”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

A clean well appointed establishment which maintains its high standards. Meals can be taken in the restaurant or bistro, both of which offer an imaginative choice of delicious and well presented meals. The hotel staff are friendly and courteous . The choice of malt whiskies in the bar would delight a connoisseur! I can thoroughly recommend this hotel.

“First-class Accommodation!”

Reviewed 26 March 2013

Stayed at the hotel whilst taking part in the four-day Links Golf Cup. Lovely, clean, comfortable room, with excellent breakfast. The staff were brilliant - very helpful, friendly and efficient. Unfortunately the weather wasn't as good, but couldn't detract from the wonderful coastal scenery. Would recommend without hesitation. Will hopefully be back next year. John and Chris Freeman

Thanks for taking the time to write, the weather was a bit miserable! To think this time last year we were in short sleeved shirts sitting outside.

We had a three day golfing trip with friends last week. A warm welcome greeted us from Fiona on our arrival. This is a perfect location for golfers who want a clean friendly place to stay. Due to changing weather Fiona made several phone calls to book tee times to check which courses were open. We ate in the bistro... More

As ever, we received the warmest of welcomes from Malcolm (the owner) and his wife, Fiona; and from Ros. The staff go far beyond the call of duty in being friendly and welcoming. The... More

“A poor B&B masquerading as an hotel”

Reviewed 8 March 2013

The rooms are very poor and in dire need of an update, infact the entire "hotel" needs freshening up. I suggest the owner flogs some of his wine cellar to fund any refurbishment. Who on earth is ever going to spend £3000 on a bottle of wine in the restaurant? Perhaps he's hoping the winner of this year's Open, at... More

We are a Restaurant with Rooms not a hotel and don't claim to be. Thank you very much for your advice. Who is going to spend £3000 on a bottle of wine? Some one who knows what they are taking about! We sell more than you might think an have lots of wine below £30. Same old request from me,... More

“Good food but terrible service and a rude owner.”

Reviewed 24 February 2013

The rooms are ok but I would have been disappointed if I had paid the rack rate. At check in we looked at the menu for both the restaurant and the bistro to see which one we would book; we were really unsure but finally opted for the bistro. When we arrived at the bistro for our reservation we were... More

I have to say I find these reviews incredibly hard to respond to. Life is about learning and accepting criticism so you can improve and grow. There are very few customers I don't see during their stay or visits to our Restaurant, Ducks or our Bistro Donald's and they are great at giving us feed back both orally and on... More
