We were in room 7. It was a quiet room as looked onto a courtyard. A little on the small side, especially the bathroom. Bed was comfortable. It had a fan in the room which was useful. Breakfast a little disappointing, the hollandaise sauce on egg benedict did not have much flavour. Although I guess thats very individual.

I liked the fact that it was central in Dunfermline and just down from the town centre. Breakfast was included both nights. Rooms were clean but the view and size of the window (small) for room size let's it down

Nightmare room, porter and menu.

I was allocated Executive Room 1 by the night porter, a pernicious and humourless soul. The room was basic with a crack in the tiles below the shower and a top sash window permanently open by an inch at the top (at the head of the bed)and impossible to close up without a stick as it was behind the lower sash. Very poor workmanship. The glass shower-room shelf above the sink sloped down at a gradient away from the wall, so wasn't worth using in case of personal items potentially falling onto the sink. The shower-room was clean. I had a terrible night's sleep with a constant drip noise coming from a faucet in one of the nearer rooms plus a cycle of being too hot under the duvet to being freezing without it and a crick developed in my right shoulder due to the uncloseable window. Once I managed to drift off to some semblence of what was a light sleep, I was rudely awoken by the fire alarm bell test at 6.30am! 'Is the porter a sadist?' I asked myself. The bell sounded like it was right outside my room door and continued to ring for at least thirty seconds. The shower was basic. The breakfast menu says there's a 'vegetarian breakfast' option which is what I chose. It was OK except the mushrooms were bland with no seasoning and tasted like they may have been fried beside meat. I could not recommend this menu to any vegan friends. The breakfast staff were polite and charming, offering a range of starter options. Shame about the room, porter, alarm and 70s cooking.

The executive room we had was very clean & spacious. However the blinds do not sufficiently block out the morning light. Woken at 4am with seagulls outside & a staff member shortly after mopping the decking area at the back. Neither of these were really overly noisy but the room had no double glazing & no sound proofing in any way. It felt like the windows were all open. The shower was large & again spotless, but no real water pressure.
