My recent stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The location is fantastic with stunning sea views, and the rooms are spacious and well-equipped. However, the service left much to be desired, and the dining experience was quite frustrating due to slow service and limited menu options. Overall, the hotel has great potential, but several aspects need improvement to justify the prices charged.

Rooms

The room was very spacious, clean, and had a lovely sea view. It came with all the essentials like a mini bar and coffee machine, but I did notice the toilet seat was missing a lid.
Service

The service was lacking overall, with long waits for meals and inattentiveness from staff during breakfast. It felt more reactive than proactive.

The dining experience was disappointing; there were long waits for meals and a limited menu, which didn't feel worth the price.

While the facilities had great potential, the leisure club felt in need of maintenance and the atmosphere across the hotel could use some uplifting.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was phenomenal with stunning views, but the service and dining left much to be desired. We faced issues with our dinner reservations which significantly affected our stay, and the breakfast options were lacking. There's potential here, but it needs some attention to detail and updates.

I had a wonderful experience at the hotel overall, especially during our wedding reception. The team made us feel incredibly special and well looked after. The location offers stunning views over the Firth of Forth, and the spa facilities were a nice touch. However, I did encounter some issues with the breakfast service and the rooms had a bit of a dated vibe that might not appeal to everyone.

Rooms
7.0
The rooms had a dark floral wallpaper that created a semi-Gothic ambiance, which might be love it or hate it. The views of the golf course and sea were stunning, but the wash basin in my room needed a little TLC.
Service
6.0
The service was generally very welcoming and helpful. However, I did have a strange encounter with a deputy manager who made an unfounded allegation against me, which was quite unsettling.
Location
9.0
The hotel's location is beautiful, right on the edge of North Berwick, with spectacular views overlooking the golf course and the sea. The area offers plenty of activities and lovely walks nearby.
Dining

While the evening meal was delightful and well-prepared, breakfast left much to be desired, as some items were stale. The overall dining experience could definitely use improvement.
Facilities

The pool and outdoor hot tub were enjoyable features, though the outdoor pool needed some maintenance with missing mosaic tiles.

I've been coming to this hotel for years because of its stunning views over the Firth of Forth and the beautiful beach nearby. The recent investment in the hotel's amenities is much appreciated, and it shows. The spa is a great place to relax, but the breakfast service could certainly use some improvement. Overall, it still feels like a luxury retreat, though the decor has shifted towards a darker aesthetic, which may not appeal to everyone.
