Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms offered a beautiful view of the North Sea, and the restaurant was a delightful experience. However, I wished the room had air conditioning and didn't require extra payment for a double bed. The service was attentive, with a minor slip in forgetting to ask about more drinks, but they quickly rectified it with a sincere apology. The location was splendid, offering panoramic views of the beach and coastline from front-facing areas. The dining experience was amazing, and the authentic Indian dishes were a highlight. Overall, a great experience with some room for improvement.
The hotel is perfectly situated near the sea, offering stunning views and modern amenities. The room had a lively ambiance late at night, which could be better managed. The staff went out of their way to assist with payment and room changes, providing a beautiful view and excellent service.
The hotel is in a great position overlooking the Moray Firth, making it convenient for day trips and starting long walks along the Scottish coast. The rooms were spacious, warm, and comfortable, though the heating seemed low. The service was exceptional with accommodating staff throughout. The dining experience featured excellent use of local produce, but the breakfast not being a buffet style was a small drawback. Overall, a lovely location with friendly service and great dining options.
