Mixture bit over all lovely hotel
The first night was fine, bar staff great and bubbly. Apologies for not having a sea view from my room as there is construction work going on. Did seat me at the window for dinner. I was wakened @ 6.30am with noises coming from down stairs. Second morning it was 8an with banging noises. Really nice hotel though and once complete would stay again

On or second a 3 week trip through Scotland. The best nights sleep, best dinner and friendliest staff we have ever met. Yes I am telling all my fellow travellers about this wonderful place. The parking is on a slope, so park at the top if walking up hill is a issue. Best of the Best, Thanks you for such a wonderful stay.

An oasis in MacDuff
All good and very friendly staff. Two points: Surely the days of tinned grapefruit segments and other fruit for breakfast are past? Second, the bedroom walls are paper thin so I was treated to a long phone call by the next door guest from 10 until 11pm. But overall a good experience.

Stayed in room 3. Excellent facilities etc. But.....shower was black around bottom edges. Difficult to remove...but maybe better finish at base of shower would help

Welcoming and comfortable
Excellent hotel. Up a steep hill so be aware of that if you are walking or driving in the winter. Staff were fantastic food was amazing. Looks like they were having work done as some of the paintwork needed a little bit of a touch up. Clean and comfortable overall very good.

Regular stay
I regularly stay here as it is a small friendly hotel with good food. The building site isn’t too intrusive but the hotel will benefit from enlarging. Great staff.
