This is a difficult one. It’s a local business providing much needed jobs and obviously trying to improve. It seems the food/restaurant side of the business is the main income, however there’s parts of that neglected as well. First impressions are good but, when you really look, chairs are scuffed and torn and not of an acceptable standard. Likewise the rooms. First impressions are good but when you actually look you see poor quality finishing and poor quality maintenance. They are charging around £120 (depending on when you book), but in reality this is a £60/70 room hotel. When we stayed, there was only a couple of rooms booked and it shows why. There’s only a few hotels in the area and they are obviously price sensitive to them, but sadly they don’t actually match the competition so are overpriced. I’m not saying don’t stay there, I’m saying it’s overpriced for what is offered.

Superb views over the rooftops to the sea. Varied tasty food menu choices. Good shower, plenty hot water. Friendly staff. Great location for an evening walkabout watching the sun set over the sea.

Mixture bit over all lovely hotel
The first night was fine, bar staff great and bubbly. Apologies for not having a sea view from my room as there is construction work going on. Did seat me at the window for dinner. I was wakened @ 6.30am with noises coming from down stairs. Second morning it was 8an with banging noises. Really nice hotel though and once complete would stay again

On or second a 3 week trip through Scotland. The best nights sleep, best dinner and friendliest staff we have ever met. Yes I am telling all my fellow travellers about this wonderful place. The parking is on a slope, so park at the top if walking up hill is a issue. Best of the Best, Thanks you for such a wonderful stay.

An oasis in MacDuff
All good and very friendly staff. Two points: Surely the days of tinned grapefruit segments and other fruit for breakfast are past? Second, the bedroom walls are paper thin so I was treated to a long phone call by the next door guest from 10 until 11pm. But overall a good experience.

Welcoming and comfortable
Excellent hotel. Up a steep hill so be aware of that if you are walking or driving in the winter. Staff were fantastic food was amazing. Looks like they were having work done as some of the paintwork needed a little bit of a touch up. Clean and comfortable overall very good.
