Excellent Hotel

Excellent hotel with lovely comfortable rooms. Check in was easy with all staff being very polite and helpful. We weren't there for an evening meal was breakfast was delicious and great to get a freshly cooked breakfast as opposed to a buffet. There is also a large car park, with the hotel being a very short stroll from the golf course.

Great location. The beach and golf course are just around the corner. The room had two single beds which I thought was odd for a premier king. They did offer to push them together with a king size quilt, but i don't really consider that the same. The evening meal was very nice, but staff a little awkward. They didn't seem to understand what a gin martini was, and how to bill it. I'm being a little picky.. They're close to getting a 5 star review from me.. it just wasn't quite perfect. Would stay again though, location was excellent.

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.
