Hotels Near Belhaven Fruit Farm in Dunbar

I found the staff very friendly and helpful, the evening meal was excellent as was the breakfast, they had numerous options beyond the full Scottish fry-up. Meals are in the conservatory which look out to the cliffs and sea - quite spectacular. Although the evening meal was really good, it was fully priced, I paid around £36 for 3 courses. The bar is quite cosy but they didn't have Belhaven on tap, peculiar as the brewery is just down the road. I was in a single room at the front of the hotel so had great sea views. The room was pretty small, I had to push the bed at an angle to get space to sit at the desk. The en-suite had just a shower, so do ask if you like a bath. I slept well, there was no doors banging or people running along the corridors. Looking out from my room, I could see the ground floor rooms had small patios with hut-tubs which would be attractive in the summer. Room rate for the single B&B was £85 for a Monday which I though was reasonable and would certainly go back to this hotel.

Despite only living 15 minutes from this pub we've never been in before. We decided to try a steak midweek. What a lovely place. It has a great snug bar as you walk in, with a nice clean restaurant area round the back. Our steaks was cooked to perfection, really soft, a bit more peppercorn sauce would of been nice. The steak pie was also really good. The staff was all super friendly and kept checking we was happy with our food. We will definitely return. We highly recommend you give it a try. Set in lovely surroundings. Thank you for a lovely dinner and kind hospitality. See you again soon

We’ve visited several times over the years, but this weekend probably marks our last. James in concierge was superb, as was the overall reception team. However, the restaurant “refurb” is not good, the US style booths are out of place, and appear to have reduced capacity; they’ve certainly affected the ambiance. The dining experience was so noisy on Saturday night it was more akin to an inner city chain restaurant. Despite this obvious push for numbers Hotel guests struggled to get a reservation for dinner. We were given a booking after 9pm. I meandered to reception at 5.30pm thinking I’d have no problem for 7.45pm …oh well, rookies error! Anyway, the menu has morphed into a rather odd (&limited) selection of Italian plates, utterly incongruous to the overt Scottish fabric of the place. The rooms remain spacious & pleasant, but we struggled to understand the choice of wallpaper which has quite a claustrophobic effect!! Clearly it’s each to their own as others seem to appreciate it. The Marine is a beautiful hotel and (thankfully) the public areas remain a jewel in the crown, but bar & restaurant service was frustratingly poor. Seemed to be a combination of inexperienced staff & limited leadership. My impression is this hotel will eventually lose its loyal clientele & become a “one visit” tourist spot, which is a shame because it has all the attributes of being a trusted hotel in that part of Scotland.
