Stayed at The Rocks for just one night whilst en route from Scotland to England. This proved to be an excellent stopover point having booked two twin rooms for myself and fellow colleagues. Although we arrived on busy Saturday evening, when the bar and restaurant were at full stretch, we were made to feel very welcome and were allocated our... More

My husband and I went to The Rocks due to it's good local reputation whilst on a break at Dunbar for the weekend. We had a table on Saturday 4th May at 7.30. The place was really busy and noisy-no ambience. The decor is very pub-like, but not awful, although the furnishings are a little tired.On the upside, the view... More

Location could not be beaten! Until you tasted the food! Supported by excellent choice of wines, staff very helpful and would recommend to anyone! Rooms could be updated a bit but nonetheless they are clean and tidy. The front of the hotel has a small beer garden and overlooks the shore which is to die for!

Stayed here on a recent trip to Dunbar, the staff were very helpfull even though the place was very busy. There was a small mix up on the booking, we'd booked a double but when given the room key it turned out to be a twin when this was raised with the young lad who dealt with us he was... More

The food was amazing and the service was good - I would highly recommend dining there. The restaurant was fully booked for evening meals all weekend, which seems an indication of its excellence - I'd recommend booking in advance. The restaurant is undoubtedly the primary focus of the hotel, with lodgings taking a backseat. The hotel is very much a... More

We eat at the Rocks, on average, about 15 times a year and it has never let us down. Food is consistently good and service is fabulous. I have not reviewed the Rocks for a very long time and yet it's our local eatery so I thought it was about time to do so. Jim and his team are simply... More

Went for lunch and was plesantly surprised by the quality of the lunch and service. Good old fashioned genuine service which is very rare these days. The Log fire was burning away which added to the atmosphere. The menu has a variety of very tempting dishes so it was difficult to narrow it down to one dish! Not forgetting the... More

My Wife and I decided to stay for a few nights while visiting friends and family in Dunbar. First impressions were exceptional - very friendly and trustworthy - not even requiring Card Details on booking in - a rarity. Breakfast was very good on both days - a good choice and cooked fresh. The only down side that marred our... More

Stayed at The Rocks for 2 nights, with The Rocks being the venue for a wedding reception. We were made to feel very welcome, such friendly service - nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent - the breakfast is a must and I can definately rate the beef for a main!! Room wise I shared the twin room... More

We stayed at the marine hotel in North Berwick on the 27th and 28th of March and normally ate at a couple of restaurants in town. We were told about the Rocks hotel in Dunbar during conversation with other guests and we were certainly not disappointed. From the moment we walked through the door we were treated like royalty.
