This hotel is an absolute gem! The rooms have been recently refurbished to a high standard and offer a great selection of ales in the bar. The shower is very effective, and the view is simply stunning. However, the price can be a bit on the higher side, but the overall quality makes it worth it. The service is top-notch, and the housekeeping is impeccable, plus you get a nice welcome drink. The location is unbeatable, right on the beach with everything you need close by, but keep in mind it might be pricey. The dining experience is a delight with American-inspired dishes accompanied by breathtaking views. Despite all the fantastic amenities, be prepared for some additional charges here and there.

The hotel offers recently refurbished rooms with a high level of comfort and a lovely view over the firth, but the window to the backyard might not suit everyone's preference. The service includes housekeeping and a welcome drink, enhancing the overall experience. The location is excellent, being right at the waterfront and very close to the beach, ideal for guests looking to enjoy the seaside. The dining experience features traditional fish dishes with a view, adding to the overall charm of the stay. The facilities meet expectations, offering guests a comfortable and convenient stay.
