We arrived late but the staff was waiting for us and was super friendly. Our entire stay was perfect. Easy to reach from the train station via cab. The room was great and a short walk from the coast line with a beautiful view. The breakfast at this location was top notch!!!! We are already planning a trip back to the area and we will stay here again. Dinner was also incredible and they have a great whiskey bar. I highly recommend this location!

We had a high tea. The menu was very good as was the food. The portion was a bit big for me but my husband ate all his. Then came the scones and cakes. I had enough room to eat them. The staff were very attentive, friendly, polite and well presented. All in all, a great experience

I write this at 1:30am on our first night....The radiator is stuck on, our room is sweltering, we can't sleep. There is no out of hours or emergency number to contact anyone to get any kind of help.... 0 staff on site. We are basically stuck in this situation until the morning. I will be demanding a refund. I wouldn't recommend any hotel where they can't even be bothered to leave an emergency number. Complete joke! Furious would be an understatement. Ruined the end of a birthday...Also upon arrival we was asked to pay a security deposit. I have no issue with this but there was no mention anywhere prior to arrival that this hotel asked for this.Add to review: since awaking after the fiasco, the staff have been amazing. We got moved to another room immediately and everyone has been so apologetic. The said there is normally an emergency contact number on the desk whoch they are unsure who has removed. The breakfast we have had today is amazing (5 star) and restaurant service amazing also. Good coffee and free juice.The new room has a much nicer restroom.Whilst nothing can change what happened last night we are trying to have a fresh look at the place and give it another chance.

Really friendly and polite staff and great service. We were here for a wake unfortunately but food was excellent and did not feel rushed to leave. As the function room was required for the evening we were kindly allowed to finish in the side bar. Lots of parking available here too which was great.

Rooms fairly basic but clean. Excellent food and staff were very accommodating and friendly. Walls are paper thin but thankfully most of the guests seemed to realise this and were not too loud.

Have enjoyed my stay at the Strathearn while I've been working in Kirkcaldy, the staff are great, all really friendly and helpful. The food is really good, they have a great selection of Whiskey, decent beer on tap and they do a nice pint of Guinness. Sitting in the gardens with a pint on a hot summer evening after a hard days graft is a real pleasure. Very close to Ravenscraig Park and the Firth of Forth, so there are some lovely walks to be had right on the doorstep, if you get the chance to stay here you should, you won't regret it. Looking forward to coming back again.

Incredible value for how much they charge per room. The food was amazing, there's a lovely park right across the street, and the rooms were very comfy and cozy. Will be coming back if I'm able to!
