Reward for help from friends

We've visited this hotel for years. It has been renovated tastefully and the food is excellent. We took friends there.

Disappointing Brora Stay

The room was fine and the bed comfortable but the room was not serviced very well, bathroom floor dirty, towels not changed at all during our 3 night stay. The restaurant is overpriced and the sevice slow especially at breakfast time ( we waited 40 mins for our breakfast one morning). Not enough staff to cope at busy times. The food was average and did not justify the high prices.

Lovely location, disappointing experience

We chose to stay in the Royal Marine because we were golfing in Brora and its location is perfect. The architecture of the building is beautiful and the interior has, mostly, been well restored. Our room was fine, clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, all our experiences in the restaurant and bar were spoiled by poor service. The staff seemed uncertain, as though they had not received adequate training. Errors were basic, e.g. bringing main courses before starter plates had been cleared, handing hot plates across others with the expectation we would take the plates from them, forgetting to bring items we had ordered. We had high expectations of the hotel but felt very disappointed with the overall experience.

Lovely hotel exterior and downstairs. Our room was very small and overlooked a roof which was a disappointment. The staff were all lovely and the food was excellent. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Travelled with a child and we both greatly enjoyed our stay. Made to feel very welcome and found our room comfortable and clean. Netflix was a bonus for the 9 year old! We dined in the restaurant and both loved the food, finding it good quality and delicious. Kids menu had enough choice. We will be returning for another visit, as it is a beautiful drive up the coast and lovely to stay in an older property which has character.

Great stay

Lovely friendly welcome. Plenty car parking space. Room was lovely, clean and toiletries in the bathroom. Food was a set menu for dinner starting at 2 courses. I would have preferred a choice of one course as I arrived late. Breakfast was plentiful. I had eggs marine which was delicious. Definitely a great stay

Margaret, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Well, where do I start? The good point or the bad points. The good point, the room was a good size and the bed comfortable. Towels were good and shower was powerful. Room serviced timeously although a dirty cloth was in the bathroom when I checked in. The bad points, a fair few I am afraid. Food in the restaurant is not great. The speed of food appearing would suggest that it is all pre cooked and simply warmed up. £16.00 for four small overcooked queen scallops is not great and the beetroot starter was of ppor quality imo. The icing on the cake, the ice cream sundae, £12.00 for three scoops of chocolate ice cream with a chopped up imitation Mars Bar and some chocolate sauce served in a small bowl. The restaurant manager looked positively embarassed when I challenged her about it and in fairness it was quickly removed from the bill. Once the food was served no-one was in the slightest bit interested in how things were. Breakfast was not much better, stale cornflakes in a large bowl were the highlight. No sugar for tea and coffer on the individual tables and you just get told it is on the buffet table, fine for one cup but have more than one and you need to carry the cup back and forward. Would you like toast? Yes please, have one slice and one measly piece of butter. Breakfast on the second day was in fairness significantly better than first day but the butter and sugar issues remained. Charging the money that they are they require significant improvement in many areas.
