    Can’t think of anything

    I liked the proximity to the beach, the prom and the links - pleasant walk into the town. I also liked that there was an outdoor area for coffee, drinks and/or meals.

    Nice hotel, really nice staff, great breakfasts and dinners. Bed is really comfy, room small but adequate. Good view from the bedroom window. All in all, it's a really great stay. I would recommend if visiting Burntisland

    The room could have done with a little updating in terms of paintwork and the shelf above the sink showed signs of the previous occupants.

    The breakfast was excellent. We visited and stayed overnight for a birthday party. The staff were very good as was the food. The bed was very comfortable. Checkout time was reasonable. I would not have a problem staying again.

    Breakfast doesn't start till 9am. A slightly earlier start would be better, however I realise it may not suit as this is a very small hotel. Also, I was accidentally overcharged on leaving - however, this was partly my fault (I was in a hurry and didn't check my bill carefully) and the manager phoned me within half an hour to apologise, explain, and arrange a refund.

    Excellent breakfast. The room was immaculately clean and very comfortable, also I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it was, considering it was above the bar and by the road. I slept very soundly.

    Nice hotel to stay for a night or two.

    The only thing in my room I didn’t like was the wardrobe, which was built into the wall, it was musty. the rail wasn’t not high enough for a long dress so I didn’t use it. Older staff were not very friendly. There were functions on downstairs on the Friday and Saturday, noise was minimal and I wasn’t bothered at all. But maybe wouldn’t suit everyone.

    The hotel was an upmarket old public house. My room was nicely decorated and furnished, the bathroom was modern. It was spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable. Nice to have a comfy chair to sit in. I had a sea view over some buildings, although it’s not very scenic. The railway runs between the beach and hotel, but you couldn’t hear if with the window shut. The breakfast was served to you. There was a good choice. The full Scottish was excellent, particularly the haggis, best I’ve ever tasted.

    shower clip was broken in the room, it still worked ok, but probably would have fallen off if knocked.

    we had a nice stay. good evening meal, good breakfast good selection of drinks at the bar. there is a train line at the bottom of the courtyard, but it was quiet and you bearly hear the trains with the window closed. It was a quiet and nice stay.

    There was a mix up with our evening meals on one of the nights and our prebooked meal was unavailable however we were given complimentary free meals as compensation so really nothing to be unhappy about.

    The rooms were spacious and smelled lovely and clean. The sea views were amazing, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were filling and plentiful the evening means available at an extra cost were delicious.
