Upon entry to the reception area my wife and I were greeted by a roaring wood fire in the lobby fireplace. Terrific on a chilly, damp Scottish day.The check-in was a breeze. The room was clean and nicely appointed. We even had a deck!
Aside from the lounge area, there is a whisky & gin bar for more intimate conversation and relaxation. The restaurant was busy and everything we ordered during our two night stay was top notch.
The hotel is within walking distance to the harbor area. However it seems Kirkcaldy has seen better days. Not one restaurant, tea room, shop, etc. near the water's edge. As we picked Kirkcaldy as a "base" for exploring the Fife southern coast it was just fine.
The hotel is reasonably priced and if St. Andrews is your target, it is only a hour away via a pleasant drive along the coast of the Firth of Forth.
