"Went for breakfast a few days back and wasn't the greatest hash brown beans and toast was good I'll give them that. The egg was undercooked raw sausages in the middle and bacon didn't taste right service wasnt the greatest either lot of young servers standing talking. We mentioned about the raw sausages as my daughter had a butty and they took that off but not once did we get asked how our meal was. Won't be back and certainly won't tell others to go."

"We were pleased to get a last minute booking for lunch on a Saturday and on arrival were happy with their covid measures. A nice bright restuarant and we had a lovely view but that was luck as only 1 great window.Went for the lunch menu which is good value but noted for the a la carte still only 3 mains and a special which felt a little limiting perhaps just a consequence o the pandemic.Drinks arrived promptly with some bread which was a little dry.Staters we had a ham hock terrine (came with a pickled onion despite me saying did not want onions with main and not being listed) however it was pleasant and enjoyed the prune giving sweetness egg yolk dots did not offer much however. Hubby had gravalax with beetroot which was pleasant enough.For mains hubby had sea bass which was perfectly cooked but my rolled pork shoulder was a little disappointing (this time served with a charred spring onion despite the no onion request). It was a bit chewy and not enough of the fat either cooked off or removed. The polenta lacked the advertised parmesan flavour but was very crispy and the confit carrot tasty.Desserts we had the rice pudding which was yummy with cinnamon and apple but whilst the banana cake was tasty and moist it was fridge cold when warm would have been so much better. The chocolate sorbet served on the side was nice enough but not as expected as it was light suggesting perhaps a milk or drinking chocolate when I expected something darker anyway for those who remember tasted a bit like a mini milk lolly!Fudge with coffee seemed wrong in Scotalnd we prefer tablet but there you go. Last gripe was £4.20 for a double espresso seemed steep compared to other charges.Overall it was ok but little tweaks could make significant difference.Now one thing they can do nothing about but worth knowing and please take care is how uneven the steps were. We were lucky it was a dry day and I'm only 48 but they really felt worrying."

"The room was overpriced for what it offered. It was small and had a compact double bed. The bathroom in our room was outdated, and the wallpaper was held down in the corners with nails. To my surprise, there was no soap or handwash available. The bar and restaurant were crowded due to a football match, which was a bit frustrating because we were seated in a small booth with groups standing around us while we ate, and they kept placing their glasses on our table. The food was enjoyable, and the staff were excellent; however, the room rates felt high considering the quality and condition of the accommodations."

The Bay Fish Chips

Fish • Curry • Chicken • Gluten Free

"I just want to start off by saying I really like what the place offers. From the locally sourced ingredients, eco friendly packaging, and the sleek and modern design. The staff were also friendly. Although neither of us require gluten free items. The menu was really accommodating and inclusion is important. However, our individual experience of the food was really disappointing. The chips are really thick cut and do not absorb the seasoning of salt and vinegar well. We have been trying hard to describe the flavour of the chips, and for us, it tasted like burnt oil and this matches the smell/aroma in the shop itself. I understand a high pricing structure for high quality and locally sourced ingredients and I support that however this was not value for the goods we received on the day. There was also a wee wait for the food which usually is fine as it is an indicator of being cooked to order but what we received doesn’t compensate for the wait time. Both my boyfriend and I left most of our chips. The sausages were ok. A little seedy but that’s not unusual for chip shop sausages. I’d be reluctant to come back in a hurry."
