Nice area close to the beach. The breakfast provided was awesome. Towels, sheets, and pillows were clean. Beds were comfortable. The only complaint I had was that there was a smell in the room possibly from cleaners, we had to leave the window open. The fan in the bathroom didn't work. We were in the wing section not the main hotel.

Excellent Stay

This hotel was fantastic. We stayed in the superior family room and couldn't have loved it more. The beds were comfortable, The room and massive bathroom were both spotless. The staff we spoke to were lovely and attentive and the meal in the bar and grill was also very pleasant. We would recommend this to others and we can't wait to come back.

Booked for my mother's 60th to spoil her with luxury which you would get in the main house.... We were not! If booking you need to make sure you are staying in the main house. If not you are in the annexe which appears to be an old care home and no better than a travelodge... No restraunt or bar open on first night.... Disappointing as wasn't informed Imrie's was shut before visit or at checkout....luckily Beach bar was close by but served raw burgers but staff were super friendly. Hotel bar open on 2nd night but didn't know this until we had already bought our own provisions. We expected to stay here and not have to leave as it was advertised to have bar/ restraunt on site. We have left feeling disappointed as in our opinion it was falsely advertised you need to be informed if your not in the main house and you won't have access to food and drink on site. Breakfast and most staff were lovely

The smoke from the fire from next door's farm came inside the room and we choked at one point.The windows couldn't be closed as it was a very hot day . It's a regular occurrence as they apparently burn hay to heat up buildings. And we had not been informed that the Imrie restaurant was not open so our choice for dinner was very limited over the 4 days we were there ...given we had no car this was an inconvenience as the little beach cafe has limited menu but the saving grace is thst the breakfast is excellent! But Lunan Bay is stunningly beautiful so we didnt mind in the end 😉

Relaxed stay

Arrived at the Bunkhouse and found my keys as instructed. Room was bright, clean and fresh. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was nice and warm. The decoration was a bit rough in places but everything worked as expected. Relaxed atmosphere, can come and go as you want and can meet people in the shared kitchen and tv room if you want to.

From the website, I had high expectations of Imries and looked forward to trying some nice healthy options, but everything was burgers, fried foods or chips. The locations is lovely and the hotel could be spectacular but it's all a bit bleak, sad and needing some love and attention. The 3 staff I saw for my 3 night stay, worked heroically on reception, Imrie's and at breakfast and are to be commende and what was there, was clean. I would love to stay a week with my dog another time, but as it is, 1 night would be enough.

Dusty from dirt drive close to the hotel. Dingy and shabby - down at heel. Reception manned by youngsters - curtain in bedroom pulled off track and not fixed, bathroom ceiling aged taped up, handle with loose fixing, grime around shower tray, shower head had hole so hot water went everywhere. Beds very comfortable. Breakfast was in lovely room in old part of the building. Very basic offerings, machine coffee not very good. But the cooked breakfast gorgeous. And the waitress very helpful and smiling.

We stayed in a beautiful room with a view of the stunning front gardens. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The beach along the North Sea is a short distance away, with views of Red Castle. Additionally, the full Scottish breakfast included with our room was delicious.

My father in law is disabled and the staff went above and beyond for him. They were very considerate about his needs which was just so thoughtful and kind. It was a family trip and they placed us all right next to each other. It was the perfect time away and the room was huge, very clean and just perfect. Thank you so much.

This hotel is not as represented in its marketing. The accommodation is in a former care home to which next to no upgrades have been made. There is no restaurant on site despite the information saying that there is. There is a burger bar near the beach which is open until circa 7 pm under common ownership with the hotel- whilst the people there were good and the meal perfectly satisfactory, it was not what was advertised or expected.

Amazing stay. Historic house set in beautiful grounds. Amazing that they allow dogs also in such a nice place. Fantastic sand beaches right next to the hotel. Service was excellent, really enjoyed my stay and would stay again. Breakfast was delicious…. Best hotel breakfast I’ve had. An EV car charging point would make this hotel even better as there’s hardly any around in the area and would be great for over night guests to charge whilst there.

Ok, men……

Vel, plassen og uteområdene er flotte, men hotellet er nok litt dårlig holdt. Vi bodde wing avdelingen og det var vel egentlig mer campinghytte preg. Veldig lytt, muggent og dårlig ventilasjon. Vil ikke anbefale å bo i denne delen.
