A very pleasant place with a great atmosphere. The menu was quite expensive, however we decided to have a drink instead, so can’t comment on the quality. The bar was lovely, and staff were very friendly and helpful, even providing us with some very tasty snacks! Overall, very good and professional place.

OMG!! We popped in for a quick lunch while visiting Crail only to discover a hidden gem of a restaurant. The food was 5 star and the service was excellent. If you are in the area plan to stop by and enjoy an amazing meal. Highly recommend!

We visited for lunch and ordering from the small plates menu with two sides. Our food was delicious, with generous side portions. The atmosphere was great, very comfortable place to dine. Spotless and nicely decorated too. We’ll definitely return.

Fantastic place to stay. From the warm welcome the brilliant room and top notch breakfast we were very happy with our stay. David and Davie were both attentive and friendly. The room was clean and the macaroons were a very nice touch. …

I ate here (didn’t stay). I was impressed by the food until I was served dessert and bit into half a wooden peg. Needless to say I was disappointed. Nothing like chowing down on something inedible (much less something that could cost you a trip to the dentist) to cast a shadow over what was otherwise a good meal.

Lovely, welcoming staff and really nicely furnished bar/ restaurant. Dog friendly in the bar, where they also serve food. Five stars for the delicious food and real Scottish ale. We had beautiful cod fishcakes and trout.

Very friendly staff well presented food and very welcoming to our dogOnly big disappointment was the ‘all gender’ toilets Walked into the one with a urinal by mistake which could be easily fixed by calling it what it is Mens/Gents toilet. I don’t wish to use a toilet that has the seat up or urine splashes on the floor!
