Would definitely come back. Hubby & I were off to a track day at Knockhill - ideal location, only about 10/12mins drive to the circuit. Hotel, facilities, room, food & staff were all lovely ☺️👍

Average

Check in quick and easy. Room is totally fine, very clean. However, the bed was so soft it had absolutely no support and it felt like you were going to fall out of it all night. If you need a hairdryer etc you need to get from reception which is a bit inconvient. When my husband was having a shower the water cut out completely. Breakfast is included and was actually very nice. Overall, it is okay for a night.

Great Hotel, although we had to have separate rooms because they didn’t have a family room for 4. They offered fans and hairdryers at the front desk Restaurant was good, 2 bars but not much options for cocktails. Seems the UK only makes so many drinks. But this was a great option for staying close to Edinburgh but far enough way for a reasonable price. I would stay again for sure!

First time in Dunfermline

We stayed here as we were going to Knockhill, which was ten mins away . Staff very friendly, room clean, but as we were facing the High Street, it was very noisy. Would go back but request a room at the back. Great location for shops, restaurants and the lovely Pittencrieff Park.

The hotel was clean and well run. There isnt a lift, so wouldn't be suitable for people with mobility issues. There is a pay & display car park immediately outside the hotel's back entrance, which costs £4 a day. Breakfast was excellent. The full Scottish included haggis and black pudding. The only gripe is that they say that guests aren't allowed to eat takeaway food in their rooms. The evening I had a takeaway, it was perfect weather for eating outside, but i wouldn't have been happy in bad weather

Two night stay with friends. Great location, staff were nice. In particular Dave, the night shift guy, we was very nice. Really polite and capable. My room was on the second floor, so lots of stairs to carry stuff up and down.

Really friendly staff, excellent breakfast. The hotel is easy to reach and the parking (in the hotel or in the car park behind which is not expensive) is very convenient. The rooms are a good size although having single beds seems quite old-fashioned now. Very good quality towels and bedding though. This is the second time I have stayed and would definitely go back.

All of the staff were very friendly and helpful 🙂, they made us feel very welcome and that they were there to make sure we had everything that we needed. Friendliest, happiest staff we have had the pleasure of dealing with.. We are glad to be able to recommend them as a place to stay. They are walking distance to shops and a fabulous park..

I would rate my room as 3 Star as it was a little cramped as an attic room for one. The bed was comfortable and shower clean and powerful. Served it's purpose well for 2 nights. Was great value for money and very pleasant downstairs in a formerly fine grand building with big stained glass windows still above the stairway. An excellent breakfast included in price. Friendly staff. I would stay there again.
