We met up with friends who came down from Inverness. Also friends who stay in the locality. The Inverness ones and us were staying in the Kinloch Arms. On arrival we were met by a friendly greeting from the guy behind the bar. …

We stayed for three nights at this lovely place, as my brother commenced his studies at St Andrews. The staff were really supportive and friendly, our room (#4) was clean and comfy, and there’s ample parking space behind the hotel. 100 meters away is a Co-op supermarket, and another 200 meters brings you to the beach and the train station. We’ll be back once my brother has completed his studies. Thanks for your hospitality!

This place needs a complete overhaul. Our room was cheap bearing in mind it’s august but the kitchen was closed down so no available evening meal and no breakfast, manager was cheerful and other staff. Bedroom was large but the landing carpets need a professional deep clean or replacing.

A random choice for lunch turned out to be a great idea. Very friendly, good selection of beers, and super fish and chips. Dog friendly.

I’ve been going to this pub for years now and I’ve always loved it and thoroughly enjoyed myself everytime I visited, that was until the old manager rob left and everything went downhill after the new manager started.I visited last night at about 7pm, went to the bar, got a drink, sat at my table, had a couple sips of my drink (VBL) and then proceeded to go to the toilet, while I was in the toilet doing my business a stranger started banging on my door (which obviously gave me a fright) asking if I was being sick, I can understand why she would have thought that as I have a chest infection at the minute and my cough sounds horrendous it sounded like I was being sick but I wasn’t, but why on earth is a stranger banging on my toilet door in the first place? A bit of privacy and peace would have been ideal and I wouldn’t have been sick as I only had a couple of sips of my drink, I was completely sober at this point. Everything was fine until about 9pm when the manageress decided to tell the male bar staff that was working behind the bar to refuse me drink as she said I had been sick? (Obviously referring to earlier in the toilet) male bar staff and manageress wouldn’t even let me explain myself, explaining to them that I hadn’t been sick and the male bar staff was having none of it, wouldn’t listen to a word I said, so rude and abrupt - both of them! didn’t believe me, refused me service even though they had literally been serving me all night with no issues? Absolutely ridiculous. So I basically got refused for absolutely nothing! Getting accused of something you haven’t even done is disgusting! Not a way to treat a customer, especially one that’s a regular from the area that has supported the pub for so long!!! Disgusting. Well done on losing a customer :)

Always enjoy a drink in here. Centre of Carnoustie so it’s good for largely wherever you are in the town.Friendly bar staff and good variety of different beers and lagers. They also have an outside seating area around the back for when the weather is nicer.They serve food although it’s been a while since I had it. From memory I had steak pie in the past and it was very good.Saturday night seems to be when the young team come out - they’re all friendly enough but it does make you feel a bit old ha!Atmosphere is generally pretty good. During the day there’s some light background music and sports etc on the tv. Later in the evening the music is turned up a bit.

We had booked here for refreshments after a funeral. It was arranged for a server to be available. However, we arrived 30-40 minutes early. The after waiting 10-15 minutes we approached the bar and asked for a member of staff to come through and take and order. Unfortunately the response was bluntly no. Our server hadn't arrived yet. The manageress would not do. At this time there was only 6 people in the main bar. Myself and my sister had to take the order and start carrying drinks into the dining area. I never expected to have serve drinks at my father's funeral.On the other hand the chef. Did an excellent job. More food was prepared than we expected soup sandwiches sausagerolls, pizza. Quiches. Cake biscuits.The venue was nice. But 1 member of staff has left me and my guest was a poor impression.
