We booked the hotel for an overnight stay after attending a wine-tasting event at the Markinch Wine Gallery. Reception was informal in the hotel lobby! Our room was quite adequate and comfortable (room 7) with tea / coffee facility, TV & bathroom shower. We only had drinks in the bar, we had dinner elsewhere with friends. Breakfast was very good indeed with an enormous Scottish full breakfast offering! The hospitality of the staff was very good and friendly. Would we stay here again, probably if we're attending another wine-tasting event, since the hotel is very local.

I stayed here over a working week recently and found it to be perfectly adequate. There was nothing outstanding, but nothing really to complain about either."Reception" is done in the lounge bar - which sounds worse than it is, as the lounge bar is very nicely done out decor-wise, probably because its more aimed at restaurant clientele than lounge bar. Even so, it's not the best of first impressions. The bedroom floors are wooden which in my opinion is a big negative as I could hear every footstep from the neighbouring rooms. This wasn't a great problem in my experience, but had their been a family with young kids next to me, or somebody who went to bed late or got up early it would have been a different story. Carpets help to deaden sound generally, and without these the TV, coughs and sneezes were easily heard through the walls. Otherwise, the room was bright, and airy but did lack a sense of quality - but did have lovely fresh cotton bedding! It is worth saying too that I had booked a single en-suite room and what I was given was a large en-suite room with a double and a single bed so that was a big positive!I didn't eat dinner in the restaurant so can't comment on it but I did have breakfast. There is a cereal buffet with orange juice, which I have to say was disappointing. Three large plastic storage boxes with different cereals, and a milk jug that obviously sat out unrefrigerated since the start of breakfast service, so by the time I went down around 8 am it was luke warm. A choice of cooked options is also included as is tea or coffee. Brown toast is available - but it's not offered!Overall, it perhaps wouldn't be my first choice if i was in the area again, but I wouldn't be too disappointed if i ended up staying there again either. The staff were friendly and helpful but I can't help thinking that given a little more "direction" they could be even better. I mean shouldn't brown or white toast be an obvious question?Wifi is non-existent in the rooms - and only just picked up at one end of the dining room, and the "desk in each room ideal for business travelers" - is entirely taken up by the tea, and coffe facilities - and the TV!

We booked in advance for a Saturday evening which was just as well as the Haig Restaurant was very busy. We were quickly shown our table, but did wait a wee while for our order to be taken. Probably due to the number of people being served. Drinks arrived quickly, so happy with this. The starters of prawn cocktail and mushrooms in a creamy garlic sauce were OK and came in ample portions. Main courses again were good sized portions. My wife enjoyed her pub standard macaroni and cheese with chips. In comparison I ordered one of the more expensive dishes, a medium fillet steak. This was a bit overcooked on the underside, but OK otherwise. I was not offered a sauce when ordering, and I regretted not asking for a sauce as the steak was quite dry. The vegetables looked like they had been well boiled for some time and ... were those the identical mushrooms that I had in my starter? I had expected a flat mushroom etc. The bill for food was ¿¿33 and drinks ¿¿5.45. Overall, the meal was enjoyable, the service friendly and attentive, but I feel that the kitchen could up it's game a bit to ensure return business.

I stayed at this hotel at the last minute as the hotel I normally stay at was fully booked. However I was not disappointed. It was a smaller hotel but very warm and comfortable. The rooms were very clean and there was tea coffee and biscuits included. Lovely wooden floors and a modern bethroom. The breakfast, which was included in the price was excellent. The staff were very helpful and although I didn't have dinner their. It was obviously a popular restaurant as it was extremely busy. handy for both Glenrothes and Markinch.

My family and I have been here a few times now, and have never had a bad meal, however admittedly the food has a better reputation than reality.A few meals are rather bland, and a lot of options on the menu are fried. Typical pub food, really.The most irritating thing, however, is the shocking grammar and lack of punctuation in the menu. The linguistic details within the menu make it tricky to tell what is included in each dish, and which are alternative options. My niece is a primary school pupil - I'm sure she would be more than happy to proof-read the menu before they sent it to the printers, should they wish?Other than that, yes, it's OK, eatable. Room for improvement though.
