The breakfast was delicious, our compliments to the chef and our waitress was friendly & pleasant. Unfortunately the breakfast was the only enjoyable part of our stay. We were in Room 14 in the basement, it had a powerful odour of damp mixed with air freshener. The room was cramped , it had one window which didn't provide enough natural light, that in combination with every wall being painted a dark purple colour made the room feel very claustrophobic. The artificial lighting was also poor & the two mirrors provided were inappropriately positioned, that in combination with poor lighting made it almost impossible to apply makeup accurately, we had to purchase a torch! The pillows provided were too soft & when we requested harder ones we were informed that all the pillows were the same, surely not all guests & their requirements are the same?

The Dunmuir Hotel and staff was a great experience after a long day of golf and travel. The staff was accommodating when I arrived fifteen minutes before the last call for the kitchen and I was able to order from the check-in counter. I would suggest staying here if you are traveling through Dunbar.

Well located in Dunbar and handy for the wider area. All staff welcoming and most helpful throughout my brief stay. Breakfast was very good. Some minor upgrading of the lower corridor is ongoing but not a problem in any way. Bedroom warm and well appointed.
