Very friendly staff, clean, quiet rooms.
Good hearty breakfast. Lovely view of garden,beach and river from dining room and bedroom.
Slight issues were TV stuck on one channel and holder for shower head broken. To be fair, we didn't mention these till check out, as weren't big issues for us. Neither of these things would stop us staying here again.
It was an unexpected treat to find such a nice place to stay as we were passing through the area!
We had a lovely stay at The Bank. Room was at the back with a cracking view and was nice and quiet. Breakfast was amazing too, I had smoked haddock both days. Only gave 3 stars for condition as bathroom door handle was loose, shower head was loose and fell down in the holder and there was only one hand towel. Long haired folks need a separate towel for their hair. Apart from this the room was spotless. Tea, coffee and water provided, will definitely stay again.
We honestly had a wonderful stay at The Bank. The food and service was incredible for dinner and breakfast. The bed and linens were very nice. Our only drawback was the location of our room, right on the street beside the adjacent pub. Also, I wouldn't say the hotel is a four star, unless we were in an auxiliary section
The Bank hotel is just the type of accommodations my wife & I were looking for, privately owned, small, unassuming, within easy walking distance to local shops and with a unique, beautiful view.
A beautiful and comfortable room! Stunning views. The little garden for hotel guests is a perfect setting. The best breakfast we’ve had so far in Scotland! The manager and her team were so accommodating to our family 100% recommend
Great little room in a great location. Everyone was super nice. However we were there when Scotland was playing Germany in the Euros… the bar was packed. It was extremely loud. The windows to the room were right on the street and not sound proof. The party didn’t die down until well after midnight. Besides that… the 1 night was great
Absolutely brilliant hotel with outstanding views, amazing food and stunning rooms. 5 stars and we'll definitely be back.
If you want a few chilled nights then this is the place to be plus you've everything within 5-10 min walking distance.
