We love the Marine Hotel; the setting is exquisite with views over the West Links to the Firth of Forth. Unfortunately in the past the staff haven't lived up to the granduer of the hotel, but the new manager has seen to that. Seamus Coen has turned the Marine around and the staff are a credit to him. I recommend... more

This trip was a while ago now but we still have loads of happy memories. We had a lovely room with a sea view and although not huge, it was more than adequate for two. Room service staff were excellent and nothing seemed like too much trouble. We had breakfast on both mornings and it was always to a very... more

We turned up here on spec after being badly let down by a booking at the Maitlandfield House Hotel in Haddington and finding ourselves with nowhere to stay. What a contrast! The staff here were so friendly and helpful and within moments of arriving we were being shown a lovely, spacious room with the most amazing views of the sea... more

We booked for a three night stay, and paid extra for an executive room, which I believe are all on the side of the hotel facing the golf course and the sea beyond. The room itself was fine with a nice modern feel to it, although it looks like some are larger than others because of the age and layout... more

We stayed there for one night back in October 2006 and we loved it. Our room was enormous, had a big 4 posters bed with the comfiest mattress ever, and some quality egyptian cotton linen. We had breakfast served in the room and it was somptuous. I must admit that we were at the end of a corridor so had... more

This hotel has in my opinion a mixture of standards! some parts and aspects are close to 5 star and others are only 3 star at best! But overall the experience is a 3-4 star and in the main very pleasing the rooms are very very different in size so make sure that you know what you are booking as... more

This was our second stay at the MacDonald Marine, the first being in December 2007 when I was heavily pregnant - so this time we had our 11 week old son with us! On both occasions we booked the cheapest room type ('classic zip', I think). On our first trip we were allocated a very large room. Because I had... more

We stayed here with my husband's parents 2 weeks ago just for 1 night and were quite surprised at how plush the reception area was. We stayed here a few years ago before it was refurbished, and it was certainly a pleasant surprise. We were disappointed with our room, at £90 a night bed and breakfast the room was quite... more

We have just returned from the Marine after my husband booked a romantic weekend break for my birthday. The staff were absolutely fantastic, nothing was a problem and they made you feel very special. The evening meal is a set price of £35 for three courses; this proved a real bargain, it was delicious. The breakfast was plentiful and really... more

We had a baby with us which we didn't feel went down well amongst guests or staff, however we were given a large room with a sea view to fit the cot in, so this was a bonus. Rooms were nice and lovely view of the sea. The guests are mainly male golfers or business men, so a nice relax... more
