Breakfast was excellent and more than enough to power a walk to St Monan's and back in a morning! The team were really friendly and accommodating. The view from the room is spectacular and the pub downstairs is great. We didn't eat in the restaurant this time (aside from breakfast) but enjoyed the outside food - the lobster on the BBQ was a real treat.
It's a great inn, the only downside is that it's a bit expensive but worth the price for a treat.

Very friendly staff. Good breakfast and excellent dinner. Room very bright but could not see out of frosted windows which was a shame. The room could have benefitted from 2 comfortable chairs.

Beautiful location overlooking the beach in Elie and very convenient for us walking the Fife coastal path. Upstairs restaurant has amazing views. Wonderful breakfast with good quality produce. Accommodating gluten free diet well and even had gluten free sausage and haggis. Yoghurt and fruit compote delicious.
Thought the evening meal menu was a little lacking in options less than £20 but everything excellent quality.

Lovely 2 night stay, with great room with great views across the bay. Dinner and breakfasts were lovely. Ollie and team are lovely, friendly and helpful.
we ate with our friends in the dog friendly section of the restaurant, which is a great idea but people should think about whether their dogs are able to be with other dogs and settle ....it was a little frantic at times.

Peaceful location. Very kind and helpful staff. Bed, view, bathroom, fabulous bathroom shower gels and body lotions. Food was lovely both breakfast and evening measly.
Open fire didn’t work. Place needs a deep clean, carpets shabby. Saw thick dust on wooden parts of dining chairs. Very noisy in restaurant even with few people. Table of 7 people opposite us last night was so loud it was uncomfortable. We ate up quickly and left. Must be an acoustic problem.
