Reviews of Balcomie Links Hotel 3 stars

Location good Breakfast very disappointing for my husband. Phoned twice before arrival to inform husband gluten/dairy free. No gluten free bread on last day no cereal for whole stay . No gluten free sausages available. No effort made on first day to rectify for following breakfasts . No oat /almond or coconut milk No dairy free butter Couldn’t get coffee as no alternative milk! These everyday things for a hotel are readily available to get in most shops. Just disappointed nobody took onboard my requests.

Felt certain staff not interested Service could been better

Easy check-in. Room was fine, maybe a bit dark, but nice view and the bathroom was lovely with a lot of natural light. Choice of cooked meal for breakfast was great, next to the little buffet (cornflakes, coffee, juice etc.).

Breakfast is from 8 am to 9.15 am, so quite restricted. Check-out at 10 is quite early.

Lots of parking,the location was perfect

There wasn’t anything that we didn’t like

Very clean rooms very good location also plenty of parking.

It was all good.

The breakfast was OK but could do with more fruit to go along with the cereals. Evening meals were very good, except for the pre cooked lasagne on one night! The staff were excellent, Scott looked after everyone and Gabbi and her companion were excellent on the first night but the 2nd night bar and waitressing staff weren't up to their standard!

No marmalade for the toast! Pre cooked lasagne, let the meal down on the 2nd night! The rear grounds and car park is scheduled for a make over but that didn't detract from our visit.

A good pub stay in a beautiful area. Dinner & breakfast were very good.

Staff were exceptional breakfast was delicious and a beautiful surroundings. Room spotless perfect place to stay after a friend's wedding. Thank you for our lovely stay.

Everything was spotless. Staff were very helpful. Lovely bar area and beer garden. Will be staying again. A short walk to the harbour and lovely village of Crail.

The sea view. Pleasant staff.

Room was very minimal. No where to put your stuff. Very small table which houses the tea tray not much room left for my stuff when getting ready of a morning. Bathroom door hits off the bed, shower door hits off the sink! There was a lot of dust in the room. Places hadn't been cleaned/ swept. Breakfast was also a bit of a let down. Continental selection was 4 choices of cereal! Toast with preserves. My poached egg tasted of vinegar so they must be putting too much in the water! My "smashed avocado " had been pureed to within an inch of it's life, looked like baby food! ( I suspected it came from a bottle) I was unable to eat it.

Modern interior with everything we needed for a weekend break. Large car park, outdoor seating area for sunny days, good breakfast. We walked into Crail in 5 minutes.

Really welcoming staff and lovely hotel

Rooms are beautiful and big so some extra furnishings would help to make this just a little cosier

Breakfast was good.

There was a bulb missing in the bathroom. It looks 3 days almost 4 to order it a day change it, instead of having stock on hand. Room 6 had no shelves or drawers to put your clothing. Only a small open in the wall to hang your clothing. They needed to fix the towel hanger in the bathroom which take 2 days.

The breakfast both mornings was excellent. Staff very helpful and attentive. Evening meal was also very good and prepared very quickly. Bar prices were not expensive. Room was clean and tidy and comfortable.

The menu and the staff

Floors in bedrooms need rugs/carpets

The location is perfect .staff very friendly

Our room was a bit smaller than expected.

Attentive staff and quiet location, ideal for golf courses nearby, and coastal walk.

Toilet roll holder broken off wall and not repaired or replaced.

Nothing

Closed bar at 10.30pm when we got there got up and the breakfast was raw everything cooked in the microwave except the fried egg tea and coffee was frozen out of flasks manager didn't acknowledge us on the second night don't know if it was because we didn't go down for breakfast the second day had to go to Anstruther every morning for breakfast stay clear of this hotel no wardrobe in the room just a couple of metal stands to hang your clothes on my wife took the dust of the hot water maker that was in the room 560 pound for 3 night stay we should have stayed in the hostel in St Andrews

Liked the location.

Very disappointed with the food. No-one in our party of 8 cleared their plates. Several plates were returned. Downstairs area was closed from 10am to 12.
