    There isn’t enough space to say what I didn’t like, the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in, and I’ve stayed in some dumps over the years. Place is dated to begin with but half expected, the dirt was just an added disappointment. Oh also nearly forgot the fish factory directly across the road starts operating trucks and machinery at 5am, just an added bonus.

    I’d rather do a tour of the Helmand Province than stay here again, would be more welcoming to say the least. Staff only interested in getting drunk and partying to the small hours, sworn at in-front of my children. The music echoed through the room till past 1am, shouting and arguing from the bar, rough as hell and that’s just the staff. The land lady refused to turn the music down at midnight, this was the second night, after promising the first night it would be different. She then stated she makes no promises and it’s a public bar. Then turned the music even louder. This resulted in really nosing the people up in the bar, to top it all off the punters began fighting that really added to noise.

    Don’t even know where to start: - beds were uncomfortable - bedrooms very dated and needing a lot of repairs - unorganised and lengthy evening meal service, having to ask for menus & asking for drinks orders multiple times - not a lot of parking spaces - very loud music playing until the early hours of the morning on both the nights stayed, went down to ask if they can turn music down as young children are trying to sleep to which we were swore at then the music was turned up even louder!!

    Good food at evening meal

    Dog friendly hotel....was not told we would have to pay extra for our dog. Then we had to give our card details for any "damages" which was fine because we had a deluxe sea view room. WHAT A JOKE!!!! If a small dated dirty room with a view of the seafood factory is a deluxe sea view room then that's great! The room was a complete mess. Layers and layers of dust.. bath was so dirty and full of other people's hair! I will not be going back and would not recommend this hotel to anyone else! Not Evan a 1 star!!!

    The hot water went off in the morning but these things happen and the staff did their best

    The hotel is in need of a bit of a refurb these days but I was staying for work in the area so for £50 you can’t complain. The room was very clean and comfortable and had a view over the Moray Firth The breakfast was awesome, with haggis alongside the usual offerings. Overall a decent stay

    Clearly in need of updating showers and hot and cold taps but at the price of a room and the fabulous view its value for money.

    Located on the Harbour Road within walking distance to the town centre and various walks to places beside the sea for dolphin watching. I had a fantastic view of the sea and was able to watch the boats arriving and leaving the harbour. The car park was easy access right outside the Hotel. Staff were extremely nice and helpful with a request I had .The food in the restaurant was tasty and a decent portion served promptly. I would definitely stay again.

    Tipsy pub patrons being loud outside, under the room makes sleeping difficult, but it didnt last long, so that was great.

    The bed and pillows were amazingly comfortable! If staying on the waterfront side, closing the curtains is a must, as the sky never gets dark.

    in the first room there was mould in the bathroom, the toilet leaked, I booked a superior double and was given a standard double, when I complained about the room, size and poor condition we were offered another room for the night, then for the next three nights we were given a choice of one of three rooms so we picked the least worst one of the three, the room we spent our first night in was a room with a sea view but you had to look between the two factories opposite the hotel to see the sea, all of our issues were dealt with the very helpful staff as the manager was nowhere to be seen for the four nights of our stay, I would not book here again.

    the only thing that we liked was the hotel was in Buckie.

    Ancient-looking bath and basin tapes were hard to turn on and harder to turn off and they dripped. Noisy plumbing. No desk light.

    Bathroom was run down. Very noisey banging of doors thought someone was trying to get in my room. Chest of drawers were too big for the size of room. No hair dryer in room. Breakfast was too expensive so didn't have any. No one was on the desk for me to check out,and no sign to tell you what to do
