Stayed here recently for a wedding which was outstanding, however this isn't a review of a wedding it's a review of the hotel. We seemed to get a good rate for the hotel through Trivago which worked out at £99 inc breakfast for the room. The hotel has a large car park opposite the entrance which is very handy and... More

We had taken up a Classic Britain offer of DBB plus a bottle of wine in the room. Allocated a fairly large room to front of the hotel. Notices advising that refurbishment was in progress. Our room was a bit mixed - some of the facilities were modern, others dated. Gap at bottom of the sash window but sealed with... More

We stayed here 18th May for one night, just a simple night away husband and i for his birthday. Check in 3pm, however arrived at 2pm and room ready within 5 minutes of arrival. We booked direct with MacDonald on a dinner B & B deal. It was not cheap (was unable to get a discount deal) and so had... More

This Hotel is ideally located overlooking a golf course and out over the firth of Forth estuary. At the time of our visit, the Hotel was going through improvement works which we were only made aware of when we booked in. These works, although not intrusive did mean we were not able to use all the advertised facilities normally on... More

Just returned from a 2 day break celebrating our 30th Pearl Wedding Anniversary. Food was excellent enjoying a meal in the restaurant on the Thursday evening. After a little hiccup with the room Kate-Brihony Dunnion the Operations Manager sorted everything very quickly with professionalism and a smile. In fact she made our anniversary memorable and thanks to her we would... More

We recently stayed at the Marine for a second time. The first time we had experienced a relatively minor issue which we pointed out to the management via an email. Seamus the Area General Manager responded very swiftly to which we were very surprised. Even more when he had offered a return visit at a heavily discounted rate. We arranged... More

We have just returned from a two day break at this hotel. The location is wonderful, in a quiet area overlooking the sea which could be reached by walking over the golf links just in front of the hotel. The lounge and restaurant and bar rooms have huge windows looking over the links and the sea to the Bass Rock,... More

My wife and I spent a night here and then caught up with family for a celebration birthday the next day. We'd checked out then phoned the hotel hours later to ask if a group of us could come for a late lunch - no problem! The guys set out a private lounge for us, offered a choice of menus... More

The restaurant and the spa are really worth a visit but the hotel itself is inefficient and in my opinion refurbished on the cheap. It was almost impossible to get a drink at the bar, despite staff chatting down the other end of the room - the same was when I tried to get a coffee in the afternoon. For... More

We have just stayed in this hotel for one night with friends. First impressions on arrival. Only one receptionist who was preoccupied with wedding guests (who weren't checking in). We, and our friends waited for fully 10 minutes to check in. Needless to say our rooms were not ready after eventually getting (the only) receptionists attention. We both took early... More
