You couldn't wish for a warmer welcome from David, Geraldine & all the staff at the Waterfront. Once again we enjoyed a fantastic Hogmanay dinner, with an innovative & tasty menu, which offered a varied selection to suit all tastes, at a reasonable price. We will definately be booking again ! More

What a warm welcome and Hogmanay party we had at the Waterfront Hotel! We had such a good stay, we have already booked for next year! The food was excellent and the attention was first class. Although the rooms were small, they were very tidy and cosy and the staff made us feel at home. The staff were so helpful... More

We have just spent three nights over the new year at this fantastic hotel. The saying "Hidden Gem" simply does not do it justice. The staff are simply excellent. Nothing is too much trouble. David and Geraldine are perhaps the most welcoming and genial hosts you could wish to meet and the standard of food and level of service was... More

Much as we don't stay in the hotel it was yet again another great night at the Waterfront! As a group of friends we book and take over an entire Guest House but eat in the Waterfront on New Years Day. We were 8 Glaswegians facing the might of the Durham group - we held our own and had a... More

Previous reviews have suggested the rooms are small and this is true but they are very clean and comfortable and at the end of the day it is a bed to sleep in which by the... More

6 friends,my wife and I have just had a 3 night stay in the waterfront to celebrate Hogmanay, this is only the second time we have stayed, and we are smitten with the place, so what if the rooms are on the small side everything else more than makes up for it. David and his team are a credit to... More

The hotel was booked last minute. Although we rang to arrange a room at 10.30pm the night before new years eve, the staff were friendly and accommodating. Our room was very small, however we was told twice about this plus the amazing breakfast made up for it. All staff who work at the hotel are incredibly friendly, especially David who... More
