The Golf Tavern

Excellent stay at the Golf Tavern. Staff couldn't be nicer nor more efficient. Extremely friendly with good old fashioned manners and service. Would highly recommend. Also had an excellent meal and fabulous, enormous breakfast, excellent value. Its an old 'lady' with character and excellent value for money, will stay again

Stayed 2 nights. Would rate this as 3 star only. Had twin room no.3 - it was small and the en-suite & shower were very small. Old carpet - needs changing. Think the TV would have been 21 inch tucked away high in one corner and only partially visible from one bed. Problems we had - our room had not been serviced or cleaned after the first night when we returned to the hotel ! Got some clean towels on request. Also the only window to outside was a skylight panel in the ceiling fitted with an electric remotely operated blind which was faulty and did not close all the way. Since we like to sleep in blackout conditions this was not good waking up too early in a daylight flooded room. It seems that neither of these problems had been reported to the manager when we subsequently spoke with him so nothing may change for the next guest. Food - Had the steak burger in the evening - burger quality OK but chips were oven chips and asking an extra £2.25 for cheese and bacon is a rip-off. Having that would bring the price of the dish to £16.20 - really - for a burger & chips !!! A positive - the full Scottish breakfast was very good (except for the leathery bacon). In conclusion - just a 3 star property not worth the £100 per night we paid.
