Marina View Guest House

I could not write a review after reading some of the negative ones on this. I am currently on my third stay at the Mariner View and I am more than amazed at how little the price is versus the brilliant standard of accommodation and location. Located right at the harbour and within walking distance of really good pubs and restaurants. The three rooms I have been in have a modern, high quality, seaside theme with ample space, storage and facilities. Bedding is comfy, tea and coffee making facilities, smart TV, towels, fridge, microwave. If you book online you get the room for £52.80. Less than a meal. I have stayed in similar standard properties around Scotland and paid well over £100 and I would pay that for this place. Great communication from Andrew the owner who even recommended good places to go for a drink in the area. Please stay here if you are in the area for any reason. I'm here for work but will be here for leisure too. A fantastic find.

Lovely and clean Guest House in a very safe area overlooking the Harbour Area,Room and bed very comfortable and tea and coffee maker provided. There war no heater in the toilet and shower area in my room which made it very cold,but overall a very pleasent stay.

Clean and fresh room and comfy beds.. kettle far too small.. no heating in bathroom therefore did not have a shower but bedroom was nice and warm for November.. Owner was helpful when required.. Overall it was fine and would stay again..

We stayed a couple of nights at the Marine View. Booking and contact with Andrew was easy. Access to the accommodation was fine too. The room had a view of the harbour, but the layout was a little different but that did not bother us. Everything worked, heating, hot water etc and the shower was fine. Although there was a fridge and microwave it would have helped if there was a couple of plates and cutlery. I know some reviews are quite negative, but for the money, we found our stay to be good.

The room was lovely and clean and modern. Great location. The only downside was the shower- it wouldn’t keep a constant temperature (room 7). It was rather difficult to shower when it kept going boiling hot and then freezing cold

Room was quite clean, bathroom layout was awful. Sink was like a children’s nursery sink and shower was very small. The bed was awful contacted owner to let them know I had *****ped bed and got rid of the rubbish and with my complaint near end of stay but got no response. I have since seen other reviews stating the bed was awful. Quite expensive considering it was very basic no food included etc. very disappointed as this hotel was recommended to me by family that I was visiting 4 nights was very uncomfortable.

BEWARE. We had to cancel our stay, within the allowed time when booking direct on their website. I emailed and used their 'contact me' form to notify them. I didn't get a response so my husband phoned and spoke to the owner. Everything was sorted. Until they still took our money!! We cancelled this but they tried again. It took us 4 months in litigation to get our money back and finally close this. Please be careful and check your bank accounts.

Booked this through *********** as described as wheelchair accessible and free online parking. Had to phone for key code.... when I got there someone was parked right in the middle of the parking space, tried the building to see if reception could get it moved, but no reception. Phoned owner who was disinterested. Had to unload then park across the road in the harbour car park. Very inconvenient for a wheelchair user. On entering the room there's a step up, so not on one level as described...I can stand unaided thank goodness so was able to haul the chair in. Not much room to manoeuvre inside. Bed was comfortable but fridge kept kicking in waking me up all night. Couldn't find plug for it. Mould in base of shower do didn't use it. Water heater above sink a bit temperamental. Could do with a mirror in the room. Miniature kettle took forever to boil, not cordless so had to schlep whole thing into bathroom. Quite expensive for basic accommodation with no breakfast at all.

Difficult to access as you had to phone to get a code and the telephone number provided was wrong. In the tiny room , the hot tap was falling off the basin, a handle was missing from the shower door, there was mildew in the shower, no sockets to plug in were visible(hidden behind a table), had to phone to get heating on (none in the shower room/toilet, small double bed with heavily creases duvet cover. Manager disinterested. All in all just awful, be warned
