The hotel and restuarant attached were amazing, we werent expecting much as we saw it in a retail park on the maps, but was very surprised with how clean, tidy and very friendly the staff were. The hotels ideally situated just off the M90, so makes travelling about even easier.

I definitely recommend the hotel. The room was very clean, well looked after, and comfortable. The staff were all great. Shout out to James, Ryan, JR, Emma and everyone whose names I've forgotten. Highly recommend the restaurant. The food was very good. We particularly enjoyed The Carvery. It was a breeze taking the train into Edinburgh, but I wish we had time to explore Dunfermline, it's a beutiful small city.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There are no staff or office onsite. Check in is at the pub nextdoor when the very busy waitstaff can get to you. We have a small child and were placed in a room above the security door so all night and morning we were woken to the door slamming shut, however there was no one to ask about as above (no hotel staff). From check in and duration of stay, the soap and shampoo was never filled and they only cleaned the room once. We also only recieved 2 towels despite booking for 3 people. The location is in a car park of fast food shops. I do not suggest staying with children.

You go to the restaurant/bar next door to check in. Good food but a bit strange to go to the other building first. Place was definitely not a five star, but once we got past the initial shock it turned out to be good for the price. No microwave or refrigerator. I would definitely stay there again to save money.
