“friendly with food heaven”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I read a review from August '11 all but damning the hotel, so went with some trepidation on a golf week with nine golf society friends who had used the venue before. They had no concerns and how right they were. Rooms are clean, comfortable and of a standard for the hotel rating. We had the hazel cottages at the rear and they are ideal for a group. The owners and staff are genuine and friendly and couldn't do more for us. The food is superb with quality local produce and a standard which would command top prices in a big city. The Cullen Skink was the best I had ever tasted, hence we requested it three times during the week Golf heaven is on the doorstep. An opinion is like a head...we all have one but the review I read was so far from the mark. If you want a very reasonably priced venue and do not expect the Dorchester suites for the low price then this hotel is ideal for golfers, couples and Americans- several were at the hotel and no one was rude to them either!!!

Room Tip: groups request the Hazel Cottage

“Only if You Are Drunk..........”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

I cannot recommend this place! Very unfriendly and unhelpful. Clearly not investing their profits in their rooms which are shabby and tired. Carpets in the bathrooms... yuck..... horrid towels...... yuck. Shower - rubbish.
Good food at least but you will need a few drinks to be able to sleep with noise from downstairs and the road.
If you can, pop into North Berwick to find accommodation. Much nicer options there and worth the extra few minutes journey in the morning.
Oh almost forgot - no room service - no internet in all the rooms and mobile phone signal in the area is rubbish too. A last resort!

“Ok but a few issues”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2007

person found this review helpful

My group of 4 was over celebrating 40th birthdays. WE stayed at the Golf Inn as the first leg of our trip.
Pros:
Good food!
Good pub!
Golf Channel in the rooms!

Cons:
-There was some sort of suite above our room that was EXTREMELY loud until 3 am. No staff on site to complain to after roughly 10 pm - no sleep.
-Shower curtain was stinky and musty!
-Was told by a member of staff at the restaurant that Americans were just a step above the Chinese when it comes to the environment and we were basically horrible people.
-Also told that most American sport was crap and we had no idea as to what true sport was
-They told us that we could not bring our golf clubs to our rooms and the storage space for the clubs was some cleaning room that required us to store and retrieve the clubs each time.

  • Liked — location and golf channel in room
  • Disliked — The negative comment about Americans

“Good Place to Stay for Golf”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2006

people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here while our son played inthe Varsity match at Muirfield. It is a very standard small town hotel. The staff were pleasant, the public rooms clean with a traditional decor. The room was OK, reasonably sized with en-suite shower room. We thought we had a king bed but it turned out to be two singles pushed together (not even tied together!) Trying to dry my hair was a struggle with no conveniently placed mirror or dressing table. The shower was very small. However the room was clean and the bed comfortable. TV with a few satellite channels.

The best thing about this hotel is the food. Very good. The worst thing - no parking except in the busy main street. Loading and unloading luggage was a matter of driving round till you could pop into a space. In the evening it was a matter of driving round looking for a slot in a nearby street and walking back. Not much fun in the scottish rain.

Overall and OK place to stop with a very good breakfast.
