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.

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.

Linda and Shanna were excellent. Small issue with our party that was very efficiently resolved without stress on our part. Great employees.

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.

6/10 Good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
