Fantastic Pub, we'll be returning soon! This Establishment does not serve meals, however, there's tasty snacks!

Best pub in town and has been for decades. A survivor amongst the more "trendy" or "low cost" bars in town because it's always friendly, has plenty of staff to serve the customers, and just knows what an honest to goodness pub should be without changing for he he'll of it.

Great wee pub. Came in here twice in the last 2 months and it won't be my last visit. Fast service, even when busy. Friendly service. Nice to go with friends and chat, but don't be surprised if one of the locals joins in the convo or your dancing. Its just so friendly. I took my foreign friends in there too and the overwhelming agreement was "when are we next in Kirkcaldy? Definitely coming back here". Can't wait to sample Sundays live singers. Great stuff folks. Keep up the good work. Xx

Had an away day recently for Raith vs Montrose, stopped in here for a few jars with the boys. Popular with the locals a small room with corner bar leads to a second longer and narrower room and a larger bar area, decent drinks and a quiet atmosphere

Yesterday, a very bad impression was made by the receptionist who was sniffing and speaking in an incomprehensible way without looking in the eyes and doing something else: for this reason I would give zero stars but the room is quiet (even if the carpet is not very clean), the bathroom is modern, the bed it's comfortable, the sea view from the breakfast room is spectacular! Furthermore, the young blonde waitress is very pretty and very kind, so I went straight to the stars. Unfortunately, however, max 3 because we stayed for three days and already on the second day they forgot to redo the room so we didn't even have soap to wash ourselves.

The outbuilding (As you call it) was advertised as being associated with the hotel, however this was not the case as it was completely separate from the hotel and in a different street. The accommodation can only be described as a room within a house of multiple occupancy (Not what you expect when you book a hotel room). The room was directly next door to a laundry room whereby you could not get peace from the noise of the machines and dryers, again not what people expect when they book a hotel room. The room we actually got was not even shown on the booking.com website. For the price paid (Approx £120 per night) it was completely unacceptable, completely unappealing and reminded us of a junkie bedsit. Entrance - Hallway carpet was dirty and manky. Entrance – Paint flaking off walls and ceiling. Bedroom – Paint and plaster missing from wall. Bedroom – Window pane cracked. Bedroom – Mould around window panes and extensive flaking of paint. Bedroom – Fireplace all scabby and had an ugly bag stuffed up the chimney which was clearly visible. Bedroom – Curtains mismatched. Bathroom – Numerous areas of paint flaking and plaster cracking along with mould. Bathroom – Hole in doorframe. Bathroom – Numerous gaps between walls and bathroom panels, many of which filled with spider webs. Bathroom – Bath panel misaligned and damaged. Bathroom – Various points of rust around the towel rail. Bathroom – Various gaps in the floor tiles. We felt it was completely unacceptable to charge £120 per night for that room when other gusts are staying above the pub in BRAND NEW rooms. We know this because we spoke to another guest at breakfast. Do not waste your money.
