So many great things about this hotel

Great hotel in a stunning location with even more stunning views. Lovely pool and breakfast looking over the sea was spectacular. Bathroom was new and rooms nice, but its an older hotel so parts of it were a bit shabby. Great staff, entertainment, pool area were fab!

Overnight stay at the beautiful Bay

Very friendly welcome and check in. The room was spacious and had very good facilities. We used the Horizon restaurant which was excellent and we had lovely food which was good value for money and had fantastic views over the bay. Breakfast was superb too. Thanks for a wonderful overnight stay. We will be returning.

My husband said the meal we had at high tea was the best food he has ever ate in his life! I would agree the food at dinner and breakfast was exceptional. Staff so friendly and helpful. Only issue was the air conditioner system and the bed wasnt very comfy. Minor though and we had an excellent stay. Cant wait to come back!

This is a family-oriented property with facilities for children (pool, various game rooms, near beach). It would e less suitable for anyone seeking walkable nightlife or off-premises dining. Staff is friendly and efficient.

Happy customer!

Lovely hotel with fantastic views and short walk to beach. Room was spacious and had everything you needed. Restaurant provided excellent meals, although basic choice. Only slight down side was the pool was small and shared with caravan park so had quite a few children in it but did not detract from stay. Location was good for sightseeing in the Fife/Dundee area.

We chose this hotel for its location for a family matter we needed to take care of. On approaching the hotel, the views across the firth were amazing!! The online check in completed a day before meant we had minimal to do at reception, with staff member being really helpful and explained that the swimming pool, gym and games area were included in the price, and xould be used as often as we liked and positively encouraged us to use it. The food served for breakfast and evening meal was fantastic. The choices for the evenings were not overwhelming so it was very easy to select something. The hotel room was very clean, super large bed and very good shower. I was so happy with this choice and would happily stay there again.

Lovely hotel

This is a lovely hotel in beautiful location looking across the Firth of Forth. Very comfortable rooms, well equipped. Restaurant had a good choice of dishes, reasonably priced and well presented. Service was excellent. Facilities on site were good. Pool was adequate although I would not have liked to be there if it was busy. Nice wet room and sauna. Hotel is stated as 3 star but I would score it higher. Excellent location for exploring Fife or going across to Edinburgh. Only negative was that I paid for a room with a view. Technically this is what we got, but part of the view was blocked out by the height of some bushes in the grounds. Some severe pruning required!

I politely let them know we were unsatisfied both during the stay and in an email afterwards. No actions were taken at all. They say ‘thank you for raising this”. Really loud music going on when we arrived and until past 11pm. We were very close to the noise though they said that if we didn’t attend the celebration they have a policy of assigning us a room far from the noise. Did not happen. They strongly advised we book a table for breakfast so as to get any food at all. The latest possible time for it was 8:30am. Almost completely empty restaurant even after 9:30 am so we were really not sure why they made us wake up early on our holiday. Restaurant closed early in the evening, we ordered Chinese which was the only option. The ceiling panels in the spa are almost falling down. The steam room was out of order. The gym requires an additional payment, no note on that on their website. Definitely not worth the steep price. Never going back. The receptionist was great though, booked us a taxi driver that took extra care that we would be at the train station on time.
