This lodge is in a lovely residential area about a 20 minute walk from downtown Dundee. It looks like it was once a very stately house but it's showing its age. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The breakfasts options were very generous with the servings sizes.

A lovely building, and free on street parking, my room had a view of the sea. Its in a really quiet area of Dundee. ||The bed is really comfy, however some of the walls could do with a clean (coffee stains up them).  …

Had a fantastic stay at this lovely hotel! The staff were very friendly, kind, and accommodating. The internet wouldn't reach my room, but I was able to use the common spaces to do my work. The facilities are great, room was spacious, and the breakfasts were exceptional! Highly recommend if you are looking for a place in Dundee.

A nice B&B suitable for a nights stay. Upgraded on arrival which was a nice touch. Room was clean and very spacious along with the bathroom. Decor was nice but slightly dated. Breakfast was freshly made to order from a generous menu. Wifi was suitable.

Staff are always very welcoming and do everything to make the guests comfortable. The breakfasts are lovely and generous. The furnishings could do with a bit of renewal (torn curtains, carpet stains, marked walls and mould around the bath)but otherwise clean. Convenient location for Dundee city centre and Riverside etc.

Very cosy, clean and warm hotel, close to the city centre and the estuary. For the price, I cannot complain, I was provided with snacks in my room that exceed those in chain hotels and breakfast was also included. Would definitely recommend for short stay and will definitely revisit the next time I am in Dundee.
