Went for a late lunch. The staff are all friendly and helpful.
The big disappointment was dessert. The cheesecake had to be the tiniest portion ever on an oversize plate. At £8.95 I did not consider it represented value for money. My fellow diners fared better with their choice of dessert.

Stayed here for several nights on a recent golf trip. Lots of positives: very friendly staff, great rooms with large bath areas and nice hot showers. Great location, a short walk to many restaurants and shops of North Berwick. I think that most golfers would be quite pleased with the accommodations.

Absolutely shocking customer service. I was in ten minutes before I decided to change to outside seating but we came back inside as I was cold. Only to be told I couldn’t sit inside even though the other waiter assigned me that seat previously. It was not reserved and the bottle of water I hadn’t even opened was still sitting there. There was nobody at the tables either. Whoever was running the shift did not want us in for some obscure reason. Rude and obviously not LGBT friendly.

Popped in for lunch, beautiful wee bistro the food was amazing, however their service let them down or would have given 5 stars. The gentleman was very short with us when we enquired about a table. Once we were seated we had to ask for the menus after sitting for 10 mins.

Did not stay overnight only used the restaurant.Service was very good, this place was really busy, we did not have a reservation but they fitted us in, best to book in advance.The food was nicely cooked and presented, the portions are very adequate.Right near the golf course so popular with golfers.

Food is lovely as are the staff, we really enjoyed our visit. Only knocked off a star as the wine is so overpriced at £9 odds a glass although this is probably to encourage you to buy a bottle at around £26. As we were only stopping for a lite bite it wasn't really an optionDidn't see the rooms therefore i don't feel I can comment on them.

I stopped in here for a cooked breakfast on Monday morning (29.7.24) and it was awful. Where to start, they can't make a cappuccino. It should be served in a small cup, not a mug. It should also be 180ml max. I received a small latte in a mug. I advised the waitress that I did not want it and was quickly interrogated as to what was wrong with it. Was it the milk, the foam or the temperature? Well how about, it's not a cappuccino and it's in a mug!I ordered a cooked breakfast and then realised it did not come with toast and so had to order toast separately. The toast was fine. Nothing wrong with it. I ate it. The breakfast was diabolical. The only freshly cooked item on the plate was the egg and the rest of it was poor quality and had clearly been sitting in a warming oven for a while. The potato scone was rock solid. The single sausage was poor quality. I tried it then I ripped it in half and gave it to my whippets. I spent the next 30 seconds looking at the rest of the items on the plate before finishing my toast and going to the bar to pay for what I needed to pay for. The toast and they had the cheek to charge me for the cappuccino too. I gave them £5.55 which they did not deserve and i left to look for somewhere to find a breakfast. I found a full cooked breakfast along the road at the Rocketeer restaurant. It was amazing. Cooked to order, butcher quality and piping hot with everything Number 12 offered as well as a few other breakfast items on top. Beans, mushrooms etc. If you are ever in north Berwick and looking for a full cooked breakfast get yourself down to the Rocketeer restaurant. It is the same price as number 12 charge and it was fantastic. The chef or kitchen staff at Number 12 should be looking for a new job. Whoever made my breakfast there was lazy. The manager (i think) was a nice guy with long-ish hair. He removed the breakfast from the bill and up until the point where he decided to tell me I was wrong and it was cooked to order I found him to be pleasant enough. I had not yet advised anyone that I used to be a chef so I let him dig a hole and then told him and left. He just said "well , I am not going to argue with you about it". Good idea son! Good idea!

We have not stayed in the hotel but have regularly eaten in their bistro. We usually go to North Berwick twice a year and always include this place on our list to go to for dinner at least once.They have undertaken a refurbishment of the restaurant area about 2-3 years ago and it looks great. Really nice atmosphere and decor.Staff are always very attentive and our latest visit was no different.We had the pate starter, chicken Diane, steak pie and kids fish & chips and mac and cheese - all of which were very nice.They do Cullen skink which I wish I had ordered after spotting a lady at the next table with it. It looked like a hearty main and will definitely be on my list to try next time.They had some cocktails on the menu too which was a nice to see. I opted for the After Eight cocktail instead of a dessert which was pretty punchy but tasty!Good meal all round and would recommend.
