I booked with them, it said that if you are going to arrive late you need to let them know, I tried to communicate with them in every possible way, my train got stucked and I was there 30 minutes later, they did not replay to any of my emails, calls, messages, NOTHING, they just did not show up NEVER, of course refused to a refund. Would NEVER recommend someone going there, HORRIBLE people

No wonder our hotel room doesn't figure on the photos! Unfortunately a fancy tap and cushions on the bed doesn't make for a 'boutique' hotel. We must have had the smallest room available and right over the bar too. It was Open Mic night and we heard (very loudly) every bad version of popular songs until 11.30. This place could be lovely. It just needs more attention to details. The shower room door doesn't close, the shower enclosure has no door so water soaks all over the very small floor space, there is insufficient space around the washbasin to put toiletries, we had to ask for a TV remote, the kettle didn't work so no coffee - this was needed as apparently the chef had quit and there was no breakfast. I hope that the owners take all this on board because, as I said, it could be lovely.

We stayed 3 nights at the Fig Tree and had a wonderful time. The room was decorated beautifully and was clean and comfortable. The food is good, tasty; bistro style food. The homemade pizzas are tasty , as is the mouth warering steak pie. The prices of drinks in the bar were not over priced. The bar staff and locals are friendly and welcoming. There was an excellent karaoke evening on Friday. Lots of good singers, and songs that we could all join in with. A special mention for Heather, who made us feel welcome and recommended places to visit in the local area. She is also a professional waitress and barperson. She is friendly and efficient in all that she does at the Fig tree . I would recommend this hotel to anyone for an enjoyable break.

Booked in advance for a table for 8 for Friday dinner at 4:30pm. Menus given for ‘Pizza bar’ and regular meals (not a lot to choose from). 2 adults and one child wanted a pizza. Waiter came to take our order and told us there was only enough dough for one pizza, followed shortly by a waitress coming to tell us someone else ordered pizza and now there was no dough. 4:30pm….on a Friday…”Pizza bar” opens at 4pm….no pizza dough left. What?! No explanation given as to how this could have happened. Ordered lasagne…brutal. Burnt at the edges. Topped with marinara sauce to mask the dryness. Ate it coz I was starving. 4 steak pies - pastry for one shared on all plates. Beef chewy and cheap. Peas on every plate cold. Chips decent and drinks decent. Chocolate fudge cake…cheap Gateuax from a shop served cold with ice cream. Bowl of ice cream for the toddler, nothing to fancy it up like a wafer or sauce. Could have and have made a better home dinner. Brutal. Won’t be back.

We loved our stay at the Fig Tree with our dog and friends. The food was amazing (especially the pizza!) and they provided vegan options for me. The helpful and professional staff made us feel really welcome. The bar was great and really friendly and being able to take our dog was the icing on the cake. Thanks.

We stayed at The Fig Tree Hotel for 2 nights over a weekend. The room was beautifully decorated and also exceptionally clean with great facilities. We took our dog with us and she was made so welcome in all areas of the hotel which was lovely. I cannot recommend the food enough, we ate breakfast and supper there and had lots to choose from. Great atmosphere and staff !! We will definitely book in again X

Ate at Banners recently which is under new management with a new chef. The food and service were excellent. The menu is great with specials changing all of the time. Probably the best home cut chips I have ever had along with delicious main courses and deserts. It was a family birthday meal and all 8 of us were delighted with our food and drink. We live local and went back for lunch a few days later it was so good. Thanks chef Rod and the team and keep up the great work.

Having slated this ‘replacement’ for the Town House a few years ago before Covid hit. I was pleasantly surprised during our latest visit for a late lunch/early dinner. The decor has been greatly improved. Staff are all very polite and Customer oriented. The Chef is excellent and accommodating. Our main courses and sweets, were tasty and faultless. Well stocked Bar with a good selection of lagers and beers. Lose the pool table in our view, or at least move it to a back room. Viewed from the street, people playing pool, motivates some folks to walk on. To sum up, it's great to see Banners, back on track under new management and taking it's rightful place as the best eating place in the village. There are two sites to review this establishment since it has gone under new management. Get rid of the old trip advisor site please and keep this one.

A spur of the moment decision to go out on a Monday for few drinks and food. I must admit I was unsure of going to banners due to previous reputation. However I was really impressed with the staff and the excellent food choice. 3 of us, we had battered king prawns in chilli sauce and haggis pakora for starters, they were delicious. To follow we had macaroni and steak pie, again excellent choice. Food was very well presented, delicious and good size potions (we couldn’t eat it all). The staff are very friendly, polite and attentive. Definitely be back 👌🏻👍🏻

Went for steak night but extremely disappointed. Asked for medium steak but was more rare.Few soggy chips, hard peas and two underdone soggy onion rings. No salad as advertsed. Food was also cold. Asked for a prosecco and was told had no cold ones . Was given small one off top shelf behind bar but when I opened it it was completely flat and very yellow so I think it must have been on the shelf a long while! Lady opened big bottle which again came from top shelf so was not cold but was bubbly. Can't believe there was no bottles in wine fridge. Sticky toffee pudding was good though. Seeing as there was just one other couple in the restaurant there really was no excuse for steak meal being so poor as kitchen not rushed. Won't be rushing back!!!

Great location on the Old Course. Beautiful modern terrace on the top floor with stunning views across the fairways to the sea. So wanted to like this place but were disappointed. Food was standard golfing fare - steaks and lobster - OK but nothing special . Wine list reasonable for price and choice. What lets the place down is the lack of management oversight. Tables with broken legs, jet lagged golfers asleep in the lobby, incredibly noisy ambience all overseen by a well meaning but overwhelmed serving staff. Not what you expect when paying $400 for a meal for two. Dinner took three and a half hours. We had to track down staff to order wine, coffee and get the check. Could be a good dining alternative to the Old Course Hotel but its let down badly by the service. Seems its owned by one of those absentee investment companies and it shows .

Had afternoon Tea today(Sunday). The view is stunning, overlooking the golf course and the Forth. We had to wait around 10 minutes and received 4 types of sandwiches, a plain scone and fruit scone and a variety of cakes. The scones were some of the best I’ve ever had- warm from the oven, the cakes were light. We received a bottle of water and large pot of tea but had to ask for glasses. The toilets were a bit more dated than the restaurant but clean

When the weather turns cold, shops closed, you don’t want a restaurant, just a cuppa, Alexander and George will make you welcome. Enticed by the chips! Feel much better now. Thanks guys!

Arranged to meet friends here for a lunch and a catch up. This is a very popular visit with very pleasant surroundings through a very large conservatory contributing to a very well lit area. There are a number of tables within the conservatory and your extensive menu is on the table. There are hot and cold food choices ordered at the server and brought to your table. We opted for chicken and rice soup and tomato and vegetable soup. To accompany the soup we ordered cheese and onion toasties and cheese and ham. We had carrot cake put aside for later that was the last of it. The chicken soup had a distinct homemade stock flavour with generous amounts of chicken through the rice and veg. The toasties came with crisps and side salad and coleslaw on the side. They were very well cooked with a generous filling. Finally the piece de resistance the home baking carrot cake came bursting with flavour very moist and topped with a very sweet icing. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone and will definitely be back.
