The hotel is on an ideal location for exploring Dunfermline's ancient history sites which are all very close by. Slightly disappointed there was no information in the hotel itself. All the staff were friendly with the food being a highlight for me. Bed was very constable. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely return.
