I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location is fantastic with a beautiful view of the golf course and easy access to the beach. The service was warm and welcoming, making me feel at home. However, the rooms could have been cleaner, and I was disappointed that my room wasn't made up during my stay, which impacted my overall comfort. Dining was also a letdown with cold food and limited fresh options, and the facilities could use some improvement.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with fantastic views of the golf course and the pool area, and the buffet breakfast on Sunday was superb. The facilities, although enjoyable, had some restrictions that limited usage, which was a bit disappointing. The room size was good, but we did notice a slight stale smoke smell in the air. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with some room for improvement.

I recently stayed at the hotel and overall it was a pleasant experience. The rooms were clean and well-stocked with amenities, and I loved the balcony with a great view over the golf course. However, I did face some issues with the wind and rain coming through the window and felt the junior suite I initially booked didn't meet my expectations. The staff was friendly and attentive, but the dining options were quite limited and breakfast was a bit overcooked. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

Rooms

The rooms were very clean and well-stocked with teas and coffee. The balcony room I upgraded to had a stunning view over the golf course, which I definitely recommend over the junior suite, as some of those rooms felt more like standard rooms.

I stayed at this hotel which has a great location overlooking the iconic Carnoustie Golf Course. The service team was lovely and made me feel welcome. However, the rooms were a bit tired and not 100% clean, and while the dining was adequate, it could be improved. Overall, I had a pleasant experience but hope for some updates in the future.

Rooms

The room was not quite spotless, with dust on the bedside tables and a tired look overall. It lacked furniture like drawers and didn't offer a view, but honestly, I didn't miss that because of the short days this time of year.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a lovely view of the golf course. However, noise from a wedding party in the early hours made it hard to get a good night’s sleep. The staff were friendly and attentive, though the service felt slightly impersonal. Overall, it was a decent place to stay, but the noise issue is something to consider.

The rooms are comfortable, but the Junior Suites didn't quite match the pictures from the website, which was disappointing.
