Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently situated close to the Castle of Mey, providing easy access to the Pentland ferry to Orkney. While the bar area offers some views of the Castle of Mey, the North Coast location is picturesque. The room service was somewhat lacking in hospitality, but a welcome drink was a nice touch.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were spacious and modern, and the bathroom was lovely. The service was decent, but it seemed like the staff had little experience in hospitality. The location was perfect, near the Castle of Mey and in an area we hadn't explored before. The dining options had some tasty beef dishes, but the sausages were a bit cheap. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were modern and spacious with a lovely bathroom, but the service lacked hospitality experience. The location was great, close to the Castle of Mey, but the dining options were limited. The facilities were good overall, but there were some small issues with the price.
