The owners and staff were very friendly and eager to help. The food was very good. The hotel was convenient for us on an overnight stay on our way to Orkney. Although the hotel was clean is wasn't fresh. Our bedroom was very cold. It had a damp feel about it. There was a radiator in the room but had to ask for another heater which was supplied most willingly.

The staff were excellent, very helpful, food was excellent, and our accommodation was good. Our room (outer) was cold, no heating had been put on for our arrival, and it took forever to warm up. Our beds were too hard and we had stiff backs next day.

It was snug and just as I required for what I was there for, the evening meal was good, but slightly disappointed with breakfast after reading other reviews but it still satisfied, the heating in the room was on and we were cosy. Checked my full bill on getting home and I had bought someone else a pint - but thats hospitality; no problems with that this time. My fault really

The staff were very very friendly and accomodating even going as far as not charging us for the last night of the stay as we had to leave early. The food in the restaraunt was lovely and really good value for money. The breakfast was quite basic for a vegetarian

The staff were friendly and the food was good. However our room in the annexe was badly in need of updating and the shower/wet room had broken tiles on the floor with mould growing between cracks. The room was cold at night - 3rd week in June Annexe rooms very dark abnd not up to standard

Very welcoming & good food: fully outweighs the slightly dated facilities in the otherwise ok bedroom (1960s electric kettle, oldish tv). Would fully recommend this hotel to anyone not obsessed with the contemporary scene. Well matches the spirit of the Castle of May.

The owner and staff were great, I liked where the room was located it was joined on to the main building meaning you come and go as you pleased at any time day or night. The rooms were a bit dated but does that really matter as long as they are clean which they were.

I would put it down to experience. It was certainly different. The hotel staff were very entertaining. This hotel is very basic. The annex smelt rather fusty we were not sure when it had last been occupied. We stayed here because we visited The Casle of Mey.

Es ideal para coger el barco a la mañana siguiente para ir a las islas Orkney. El pueblo no tiene nada, por lo que se recomienda cenar tambien en el hotel. Desayuno muy escaso. Precio muy alto en relación a lo que se ofrece, es un tema de oferta de hoteles por la zona y demanda de habitaciones (elevadas para ir a las islas).
