The Knowes Hotel & Restaurant
Really frirndy staff, nothing too much trouble, Nice restraunt on site, small comfortable bar. Hotel ounder going refurbishment atthe moment so a lot of noise duringthe morning. I inadvertently bookes a rrom that was blocked off from dayligt due to building works, in fairness this was reflected in the price.

Lovely hotel
My stay at the hotel as always was really good! Staff are really friendly and my room this time was great as I was on top floor so really quiet. Food is amazing!! £10.40 for a glass of wine is quite steep though.

Superb views over the rooftops to the sea. Varied tasty food menu choices. Good shower, plenty hot water. Friendly staff. Great location for an evening walkabout watching the sun set over the sea.

Mixture bit over all lovely hotel
The first night was fine, bar staff great and bubbly. Apologies for not having a sea view from my room as there is construction work going on. Did seat me at the window for dinner. I was wakened @ 6.30am with noises coming from down stairs. Second morning it was 8an with banging noises. Really nice hotel though and once complete would stay again

On or second a 3 week trip through Scotland. The best nights sleep, best dinner and friendliest staff we have ever met. Yes I am telling all my fellow travellers about this wonderful place.
The parking is on a slope, so park at the top if walking up hill is a issue. Best of the Best,
Thanks you for such a wonderful stay.

An oasis in MacDuff
All good and very friendly staff. Two points:
Surely the days of tinned grapefruit segments and other fruit for breakfast are past?
Second, the bedroom walls are paper thin so I was treated to a long phone call by the next door guest from 10 until 11pm.
But overall a good experience.

Great Hotel
Stayed in room 3. Excellent facilities etc. But.....shower was black around bottom edges. Difficult to remove...but maybe better finish at base of shower would help
