“wonderful position but not gourmet food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2007

person found this review helpful

We have just had a pleasant weekend at the Belvedere. As noted by other reviewers the owners are very helpul, and everyone on the staff went out of their way to provide excellent service.
Our room had a wonderful view over the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh, but my aunt's, on th eground floor, looked out over a bush and the garden wall which was disappointing.The rooms were clean and adequately furnished, but the wallpaper, curtains and bed linens all had different patterns which spoiled the effect rather.
We ate in both nights, and I was disappointed. Their website promised gourmet food using local produce, but only the soup seemed home-cooked- the rest was bulk-buy freezer stuff served at pubs everywhere- breaded mushrooms, pate etc for starters, breaded scampi, butterfly chiken etc for mains. Puddings were even less exciting, being mainly icecream sundaes.The view from the dining-room was however amazing.
The Belvedere is however in a wonderful position for visiting Fife, and is good value. I would probably stay again, just for the views

“Superb service”

Stayed here to watch the Golf Open Championship at Carnoustie. The owner's and their staff could not have been more helpful, especially Michael, Jean and Tony. They were flexible in providing meals around us leaving early and getting back late. The food was excellent and the friendliness of the staff was superb. Great location for Golf courses including St Andrews and the owners are more than happy to arrange golf for you. Room was spacious and clean. Views from room and hotel over the water were lovely.

“Break from the old routine!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2007

The Belvedere Hotel is situated in the small village of West Wemyss (pronounced Weems). It is positioned right on the Forth River (estuary) and stands opposite Edinburgh. The location is ideal for anybody wanting a break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

When I arrived I was immediately made to feel welcome by the owners who answered any questions I had and were well informed about the area/facilities/things to see. My room was decorated well and very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The location of the hotel means that it is very easy to sleep at night. Breakfast is included in the price of the room and is plentiful with a lot of variety. I also eat main meals in the restaurant, which were of excellent quality. The portions were very generous. Seats are positioned outside on the lawn opposite the river so it is possible to eat alfresco on warm days.

The hotel is well located for anybody wishing to explore central Scotland, Edinburgh, Perth and Stirling were all accessible within an hour by car. The hotel is on the river and the Fife Coastal Path runs past it providing a lovely walk for those days when you don't want to travel too far.

I highly recommend this hotel for anybody who wants a break from city life as it represents the total opposite.

“Right by the Sea”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2007

people found this review helpful

Situated a 15 minute drive from Kircaldy, located on the sea front of West Wymess is the Belvedere Hotel. There is little else in West Wymess of note but the hotel sits right on the Fife Coastal path and access to the pebbly beach is down a few steps at the front of the hotel.

The welcoming owners have clearly been giving this hotel a revamp since they took ownership of the Belvedere a year ago, with freshly decorated rooms and public areas.

We stayed with our 2 dogs in a room in a small building a few yards from the main hotel giving us instant access to outside avoiding having to take the dogs through the hotel. The room was a good size with comfy beds, tele, tea and coffee etc. - the bathroom had obviously been redone recently.

The rooms are very comfortable and clean and worthy of the star rating; but it is the food that stands out at the Belvedere. An excellent choice of menus from simple tasty bar food to more fancy main meals in the waterfront restauraunt. The food was well priced and of a high standard - worthy of a five star hotel. Breakfast was particularly good and with a price of £65 per room B&B you wont go far wrong at the Belvedere.
