We had a lovely stay here. The staff where lovely and friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The staff made the stay and the surroundings of the hotel are beautiful. The breakfast was also lovely. The rooms are clean tidy and comfortable. The bathroom was modern really nice. The room was slightly dated but they are updating and it was still a nice room.A special mention to the lady with the glasses at reception who could not do enough for me going out of her way to get me an ironing board and iron she was lovely.I highly recommend this lovely hotel.

We spent 3 nights here over a weekend for our 40th wedding anniversary. Great location, you can walk into town in about 20 mins. My husband was watching football on Saturday and the DAFC stadium was just down the road.The room we had, a deluxe double, was beautiful, very spacious and comfortable, nicely decorated with seating so we could just sit and relax. The bathroom had a shower and a huge bath.We had breakfast every morning that included more than one cooked veggie choice, which is quite unusual in my experience. There was also a large range of cereals, yogurts, fresh fruit and pastries. We ate here one evening, a great home cooked quality meal, served in a well presented dinning room.The service from all staff throughout our stay was excellent, helpful, and polite.I would be very happy to stay at the Garvock House Hotel on another occasion when back in Dunfermline.

Great hotel, a little bit of old world charm. The rooms were comfortable and well laid out, the bathroom and shower didn't disappoint either. The hotel was very clean. The breakfast menu was loaded with choices, Continental or order something to be made. There is plenty of parking and the grounds were immaculate. Great venue for a wedding.
