This is a little gem! Perfect location. So many thoughtful amenities! Love the wee fridge with fresh milk and butter! Cozy rooms with clean new bedding and soft blankets. Quiet and peaceful. View of the water and golf course. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We dropped on this place at the last minute. Didn’t know what to expect. But it is warm and friendly and we absolutely loved it. So snug and comfortable, all you would need for a great night’s sleep. Looking forward to going back.

Delightful, quirky hotel. Easy self check-in. Might like more history of the place - i gather it was a fire station and the name folly and the owl connection. Always good to have stories.

After a difficult entry ( dark and couldn't see the key pad number) had to phone and was helped. The room was very warm and comfortable bathroom clean and had great shower. Think I was only resident as after getting in I saw nobody ( bit spooky) All in all was excellent value and I would go back again

This was an ideal small hotel with a great location and great service from the owners ie room made up each and complimentary buffet breakfast in the room also each day. Our room was quite small but everything was in place and very cleàn. An ideal location close to beaches within walking distance and plenty of on road parking close to the hotel. Would recommend tò friends and family.

The hotel was charming quaint and in a perfect location. The room was clean large and well stocked. It was a last minute decision to come to the coast of Scotland and it was a great decision.

The location is fantastic. Room wasn’t worth price. Had kettle no cups or tea and coffee available. Breakfast was a prepackaged couisant or yoghurt but no spoon to eat it with. There no blind on window so light was streaming in and as soon as morning traffic started, you were awake or people in corridor walking past on creaky floor boards would wake you. Stairs to room looked dirty. Shower tray would fill with water as showering.

Hotel is in a convenient location to town center and beach front. Stayed in a family room which was quite cramped . Beds were comfortable and there is a breakfast assortment left for you which is a nice touch. Room needs painting

The location was great and my room well appointed with en suite facilities. Unfortunately the shower would not work and with the self check in service, finding staff was next to impossible.

It would be good if there were more places like that for people who simply need a decent room and shower for the night. It's a self-check in/out with a door code sent to your phone, but it does the job.

It was a nice and quaint hotel, just a little pricy for the condition it was in, though I think that’s due more to location, which was worth the price. The owners were helpful and very friendly. The chocolate mallow that was left on my bed was delicious. The walls are very thin, which can be counter productive to sleeping, and a fan would have been nice in the room, but overall, a decent place.

Clean, comfortable and convenient. The property operates a collect your own key from box system so you must have the pin before arrival. The shower is adequate, there is a kettle for coffee and tea. Nothing fancy but all good. Location perfect to all amenities and beach.

The room was everything I needed and less; 180 sf and tiny. But, still a value. There was no staff just a coded box with keys (get the code before you get in town, cell service is weak and I had to have my wife text me the code)! Easy in easy out. Good location. Single bed with no place for a second person unless you’re newly in love.

The room was cold and the dark green blanket provided was unclean. I had two bites on my lower left calf in the morning. The parking is unsafe, my vehicle was subject to a hit and run resulting in danage to my vehicle.

This property in NO WAY resembles the description on the website, it's a mess, no food, no bar , tiny room with dangerous electrics, I wouldn't let my dog stay here and the price is outrageous for the very substandard facilities.
