Q

Slightly disappointed not to find a fridge in the room but, even more disappointed/concerned that, contrary to the Hotels.com booking site, there is no air conditioning in the room as it was one of the main reasons for choosing this hotel. The staff were very helpful and soon managed to provide us with a couple of fans. The food in the restaurant was very nice and reasonably priced.

Lovely hotel

We spent a lovely night. The hotel was comfortable and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful. The stairs were easy to manage. The staff were nice, but I would say that in the dining room, they were short-handed. The food was delicious and the half portion, was just perfect for me. I would definitely go back again.

This is a beautiful place. The room and bathroom were enormous and the back French door opened onto a lush lawn and garden in full bloom. The staff was friendly and the food was excellent. This would be a great base camp for exploring the Kingdom of Fife to its fullest.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Bright lights coming on outside during the night and shining in the windows and under the doors of the family room area. As well as noise from equipment. Children were constantly being awakened. Hotel knew how many breakfasts were booked under the same same name, yet when we showed up in the morning we were treated like an inconvenience. Staff did not want to even give us a butter knife for toast already on the kids place until they were ready to set the table. We were told the toast to accompany our full breakfast was being prepared in the kitchen, but it never arrived. Bar staff were slow and made errors. The staff requires training to better focus on the guests and the experience. This is such a beautiful location. Best Western needs to improve the outside housekeeping. Looks likes plant pots full of dead plants all around the property. Having a pool was a draw to us booking this location, but it closes at 6pm and so the last swim time is 5:15. I suggest 9pm would be more appropriate. We travel a lot and this is the first time I have ever given such negative comments on Expedia. This is such a beautiful location and it wouldn’t take much to make this a superior experience. Best Western needs to improve the management by investing in training and looking at things through the eyes of the guests. It’s not complicated.
