Excellent food & lovely surroundings. The hotel has been gradually refurbished & Linda & Keith have made an excellent job. There are photographs displayed in the restaurant screen & the rest of the hotel looks amazing. Well worth a visit. Great atmosphere

I can't understand where the reviews criticising the service are coming from as it was completely the opposite for us. Linda and her team provided us with great service, the food in the restaraunt was excellent both for dinner and breakfast. The decor of the hotel has maintained true to it's history.Our room was also comfortable and warm.Yes there were a few more things that would have added cream to the cake but for the cost it was great. We will be back.

Myself and my friends were travelling from Aberdeen to Edinburgh when we stumbled across a hidden gem of this hotel. Lovely and quaint when we entered. Food was lovely, very generous portions. Unfortunately for us, we couldn't have been more dissatisfied with the service. The waitress was way too relaxed in her approach to bringing food and drinks to the table. It took the waitress over 12 minutes to bring 4 pints of cordial to the table, and more than that to sort out a simple bill. There was no obvious reason to the poor and slow service as there was one other table who were finished with their meal. Food was nice and reasonable but due to the poor service, I would not be returning.

This was a big disappointment for a special family occasion. Spoilt by some very poor customer service. Allegedly no manager available to speak to us and food below average.

Cold staff with total lack of service knowledge , lukewarm over cooked food, no atmosphere.Kids sausages- deep fried to oblivion, roast beef over cooked and gravy made with powdered Demi glacé or bisto just awful.Feel totally cheated waited a hour almost for our mains then a further 30 mins for two kids icecream..... wasn’t even busy. Start to finish a terrible experience wouldn’t go back.

On a passé une nuit dans cet hôtel en revenant du Loch Ness. Hôtel charmant et très classe. Service impeccable et personnel très aimable.Situé face au terrain de golf à côté de la mer.Moins aimé le petit-déjeuner. Je pense que c'est en retrait par rapport à la catégorie de l'hôtel.

The hotel itself has a nice ambience and pleasant views across the golf links, but the food is nothing to write home about. It’s not bad in any way - just very average. The service was quite slow although the staff were pleasant enough. All in all - rather underwhelming. Not a hotel that would feature highly on my list of places to go back to

This restaurant is part of a small hotel of the same name. I stayed here 1 night, and met one of my colleagues for dinner. Was given nice table at the window, with no complaint that 2 people were taking up a table for 6! I had steak pie, while my colleague had scampi. Food pretty much ok, but not very exciting. Service was good and the view was excellent, so Four-stars from me. I would eat here again, especially if arriving lateish to get a room at the hotel. (I think last orders in the restaurant are 8:30pm)

First visit,of many I suspect , to this comfortable and quiet venue. Welcoming waitress and attention to all requirements.(some allergies).As a Starter, the Cullen Skink was excellent. The Roast Beef was done to choice, which was appreciated by my fellow diner, as was my Steak which despite my request for "well done" was full of flavour and juice.To finish, a delicious Sorbet (not on the Menu) was conjured up for my Dairy Free sufferer.She also commented that the Toilet facilities were absolutely spotless

For a nice family get together birthday treat go to The Grey Harlings. Very nice roomy restaurant, served by nice polite helpful kind waitresses. Every body enjoyed their meals (disappointed with the over kill of frozen vegetables) washed down with great house red wine. Especially loved my perfect round lemon cheesecake, just the right sized serving to finish of my meal. Delicious! I have been spreading how good it was. Have also been told some people have been going lately and they thoroughly enjoyed them shelves too. Our 7 year old daughter wants to go back. Good also hearing a private birthday party going on. Hearing the young girls singing to Abba was brilliant. Highly recommended The Grey Hardlings. Husband says lots of off shore workers speak highly of here too. We certainly will be coming back.

Really disappointed with our lunch today. Put our order in and 25 minutes later were told one of our starters wasn’t available and then the next choice wasn’t available either. When we eventually got our starters (an hour after arriving) my dads soup was cold and he had to wait 15 minutes for another one by which time we had all finished our starters. The 4 adults all ordered the roast beef, the veg and tatties were cold, beef was dry and my daughters pizza was microwaved and chewy and she didn’t get the beans as mentioned on the menu. Told all of this to the member of staff and was still charged full price. Very disappointed and doubtful we will return.

Grey Harlings had been recommended so we were anticipating a good experience. Our order was taken but diners who arrived after us were served first. They had finished their meals and we had still not been served. An hour and a quarter after we sat down another table who had arrived after us were served their starters, so we left. Polite waitress advised they were short staffed but if that is so you have to tell guests and let them decide if they want to wait 75 minutes or more.

The food we received was excellent and was good value for money. We had booked a very large group and everybody was happy with the quality of the food. The service was a bit slower than we would have liked but there were 29 in our group. It did not cause much of an issue. The staff were very welcoming and the whole building is well laid out. I will definitely go back.

Went for a group lunch, nothing fancy just sandwiches and toasties which took 50 minutes to arrive then 1 lunch was missing, after waiting a further 10 minutes the missing lunch was brought out but it was the wrong order!! After another 10 minutes (by this time everyone else was almost finished eating) another plate of food was delivered to the table only to be the wrong order once again. The waitress was told not to bother as everyone else in the party was finished, the owner finally came over and apologised making a lame excuse but I'm afraid that was too little too late. We were so disappointed we left without cuppys and dessert and it was a trip to the local shop for a sandwich to make up for the missing lunch! Needless to say none of our large party will be returning.

I was staying at the guest house and decided to eat dinner their for convenience. I’m glad I did. The service was great, very friendly with the right amount of attention. The food came out quickly and was well cooked and fresh. I had breakfast the following morning and again couldn’t have been happier. The owner said she was aiming for a homely atmosphere and she has achieved that. Well done, it’s not easy these days to provide quality at reasonable prices but they are doing it. Incidentally for tourists the view over the golf course to the beach and sea is stunning.
