I could not stay the night as the Hotel was closed until Easter. I ate in the restaurant and had a lovely relaxed meal exceptionally well cooked . I am definitely coming back. Stunning location. This is a real find and borders on the eccentric- but I love that. When the world is so full of clone type hotels we need more places like this !!!!!

We stayed two nights at Forth View when we first arrived in Scotland... it was easy to drive from the Edinburgh Airport but that narrow hill down to the B&B is intimidating! Well worth it though as we enjoyed our stay very much. We tried the Room With a View Restaurant in the hotel as well and it was really delicious. Our room was large with really fabulous views across the water in all directions. Easy drive to St. Andrews too -- only about 45 minutes.

hidden gem,great staff, we were well looked after without being smothered(a fine art}.good sized rooms,fine food,great garden situated between rugged cliffs & the forth.very peaceful,a great staging point for exploring scotland.will definately be stopping there again.

We have been guests here several times and we will definitely be returning. It is small, friendly and categorically non-boutique, thank goodness.
If you want to be close to nature, have stunning daytime and night time views, if you need to be close to Edinburgh without the big city frenzy, if you want the wind in your hair and the sound of seabirds in your ears this is the place. I don’t know of anywhere more relaxing.. you should try it.
The downhill drive to the hotel is rather daunting (perfection has it’s price) but it is driveable, believe me. We have done it many times, even in an icy winter. Once at the bottom of the cliff, you will be stuck by the view and, when you meet Pauleen, the owner, by her friendliness.
The rooms are just the right size with TV, tea/coffee making facilities and most have en-suite bathrooms. Almost all have views over the Forth of Firth.
The rooms are quirky and reflect the history of the building so don’t expect modern, hi-tech furniture and fittings. The beds are super comfy and there are extra blankets for people unused to the Scottish climate.

Breakfast choices are huge; just what I can remember..
Continental breakfast
Cereals, fresh fruit or if you are pushing out the boat (as we do ;o)
Full Scottish Breakfast or
Smoked salmon with scrambled eggs ( the best I have ever tasted )

We stay in two/three places when we come to Scotland and I would recommend this hotel for the following reasons:
Location, friendliness, peacefulness and atmosphere.
