"Very rude staff! My husband and I sat outside today as it was a sunny afternoon. He went in to buy the drinks. I was driving so drinking zero beer. After a while, I went in to use the loo. The two young girls behind the bar asked if they could help and I politely explained I was outside and just wanted to use the toilet. One of the girls replied Whatever! in an obnoxious tone. I was utterly taken aback. A more mature woman who I assumed was in charge was sitting at the bar on her phone. She must have heard it but said nothing! The cheeky girl then gave me an impudent smile when she came outside to collect glasses. If you can 't be polite to customers, get another job!! Won 't be back.. place was quiet so that tells a story in itself on a sunny Saturday in August."

"Oh, what a delightful summer experience! Forget the typical pub food, haggis, and Cullen skink found throughout the area, and take a short detour to Hercules, where you can find a charming farm-to-table café. They offer a wonderful selection of vegetarian soups, sandwiches, salads, and more. It was certainly a lovely way to combat jet lag. I am a bit unclear about whether they differentiate between the café and the restaurant, as it seems to be the case on their website, but this distinction isn’t really obvious when you’re there—though it probably doesn’t matter much in practice. The exterior appeared to be a popular gathering spot for locals—artists, readers, writers, and other fascinating individuals. Definitely worth a visit!"

"Stayed at the Gilvenbank this weekend as we were attending a wedding at Balbarnie House. The hotel is lovely but the rooms were very basic. The pillows were paper thin, the curtains were so thin the light shone through and the bathroom was dangerous. I stood in the bath to have a shower and within seconds was on the floor of it as the non slip stuff on the bottom of the bath was non existent and clearly hadnt been cleaned properly. I ended up attending the wedding with a huge bruise on my arm and limping as I 've got a huge black bruise on my bottom and leg. I spoke to reception and I 've emailed the hotel manager and not heard a thing back. Reception said they couldn 't do anything as we paid before we arrived and the manager wasn 't in at the time. Our other friends rooms had marks on the walls, tvs that were smaller than your phones and didn 't work and beds that they had to push together themselves and the rooms were so dark they had to have their lights on all the time. On the Saturday night the reception staff told us there was a party that would be finishing at 11. This party was still going at midnight with guests standing outside shouting until 12.45 am. The patio doors in our room didn 't shut properly so we could hear everything. It was like they were in our room and the music thunder through the floors of the room to the point we could sing along. When we rang down to complain were just told it 'll wrap up soon . The bar staff were lovely, the food was nice, the location was perfect for our visit and the staff did get us more pillows and an iron when we asked for them. Just found it disappointing that I reported I 'd been hurt in their hotel and it was shrugged off and that we couldn 't sleep because of the party that finished nearly 2 hours after they told us Would stay there again if ever in the area as it was clean and these things could be easily resolved."

"When three generations of my family recently vacationed in Scotland, we enjoyed many wonderful experiences and excellent food. The best part of the trip, however, was our discovery of The Palace Pantry in Falkland, where we encountered the warmest, most welcoming women and the most delicious sweet and savory food imaginable. These women created delectable, traditional Scottish pies, with fillings ranging from haggis and pepper steak to curried chicken and macaroni and cheese. Our grandsons, aged 10 and 12, loved the pies so much, we served them every night. The sweets were equally fabulous, including fruit tarts, yum yums, and shortbread cookies. We also ate those every day. Not only did the women at The Palace Pantry provide us with daily meals and treats, they gave us valuable travel advice, letting us know how to pick up our son and grandsons without ever having to drive through the Edinburgh airport and where the best fish and chips and ice cream could be found in St. Andrew 's (Cromar 's for fish and chips, Janetta 's for ice cream). We can 't even imagine what our trip would have been like without Alison, Laura, Louise, and Joy. We highly recommend a trip to The Palace Pantry to meet these fabulous women and sample their delicious sweet and savory treats. It 's a bit off the beaten track, but well worth the trip."

"This has become one of the nicest places around. The food is varied and of an exceptionally high standard. The bonus for me is that I have an elderly relative who is very frail and the staff treat him as if he is Royalty nothing is too much bother, they make a big fuss of him which he loves. The icing on the cake is..... Drm roll ... The cakes!!!!"
