Guests at the accommodation can enjoy a continental breakfast.

Staying on the Ocean Mist was a unique, boutique experience and we loved it! It felt like we were stepping back in time, much like an ocean liner/ship from the past. Matt greeted us warmly upon arrival and helped us get checked in quickly. The staff in the bar were excellent as well, making us feel welcome immediately. It was a great experience and we hope to return someday to enjoy a longer stay.

On arrival we had been allocated room 11 - on the top floor, 2 disabled people climbing upto the 2nd floor, all steep stairs and no lift. This happened last year when we staying at Palmerston Suites ( same company) just around the corner. What is the point of completing special requests box if it gets ignored.

    This was a great little place to stay. We needed accomodation for the final two nights on return to Edinburgh after touring the rest of Scotland, and frankly these were the best accommodations we had in the country. Staff was very accommodating,, room is completely updated, and although small, was very comfortable. Food in the restaurant was very good, parking was available next door, and advice from the barkeepers for breakfast was very good.
