The hotel is perfectly situated in the charming Harbour of Anstruther with stunning waterfront views. The rooms offer excellent facilities and a lovely spacious bathroom, although no windows are at eye level. Dining provides mouth-watering dishes with outstanding poached eggs and a delightful view across the harbour. However, the location can't be beaten for its direct waterfront setting, though dining options might be limited.

The hotel is ideally situated right on the harbor front with picturesque views from the lounge. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but some are without a view of the harbor. The dining experience offers outstanding poached eggs, but the hot pot dishes are not to be missed. The service is attentive with pleasant housekeeping and a welcoming drink upon arrival.
