We were given a gift of an overnight stay at this hotel. Didn't know much about it apart from what we read on Trip Advisor and of course seeing it on television when the Open Golf was at Carnoustie. When we arrived we were met by a very friendly receptionist. Our room was very clean and well supplied with tea... More

I suspect this place is able to rest on its golfing laurels but its definitely time for a freshen up. Tired furnishings even in the reception, where the arms of the sofas and chairs are actually dirty. The views out of the bar are fab, right onto the golf course, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.... More

The rooms at this golf hotel are really outdated, however, the rooms are clean so it is not a terrible issue. Our room had a view of the first tee which could also be seen from the breakfast room. Breakfast included made-to-order items and was quite pleasant. Just a note - there are not many places to eat or shop... More

We had a good stay here in this hotel. A bit dated but a great location. Staff are a bit slow but were busy. We had dinner in the restaurant at 8pm and felt that it was unfair for the couple right next to us to have there 1-2 year old child sitting in its pram with them for dinner.... More
