First stay at this hotel and although some parts of hotel requiring updating found the bed really comfortable, great shower and the most fantastic welcome from the receptionist who I think was called Inga. Great location and will definitely return.

We enjoyed our time at the hotel. We were a little surprised at the wear of the wood furniture and fading of some of the artwork to be Carnoustie. The sitting room area could use a coffee table so one could sit comfortably with a drink.

Nice room with a great view. The French doors wouldn’t shut properly which resulted in a constant draught. This was fine with the curtains shut. Good, comfortable bed. Tasty breakfast. Pool area was ok. Carnoustie village itself is a bit run down, but has some great restaurants and the beaches round about are fantastic

Had a lovely DBB here in a deluxe double overlooking the golf course ( which we think is so much nicer than the sea view here ) if coming again I would book food in the Rookery, went there for cocktails and it was a lovely place sit with that view.

Needs refurbishing
The staff are all lovely and helpful. The breakfast could not be faulted. But this isn't a 4 star hotel. It really doesn't tick the boxes for a 4 star hotel. The room was not as clean as we would have expected. There is damaged furniture, broken tiles in the bathroom (4 types of tile and none of them go together), black hairs on the bathroom door hinges, mouldy silicone, the shower screen deflector strip was spilt and bits on the carpets. Carpets throughout the hotel are old and stained. The room could definitely do to be refurbished. The gym equipment was in need of cleaning and the pool showers need modernised. Broken tiles, puddles, blown timbers, and rusty patches could been scene around the changing rooms and pool areas. The hotel certainly did not have the 4 star wow factor.

Another stay
This is the third stay here, but compared to the previous stay this was disappointing. Throughout the hotel there needs to be a deep clean and a paint job ( outside as well) The quality of food and service has declined quite considerably, overall we came away disappointed.

Very nice hotel at a very reasonable price.
All staff very friendly. Great standard of cleanliness. Some things showing signs of general wear and tear...desk in room, cubicles in pool/spa changing rooms. Pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi all very good. Excellent tea/coffee trays in room. Good rainfall shower with plenty hot water. Drinks and food reasonably priced.Only complaint is lighting in the room...3 table lamps only giving a very dull glow...impossible to sit and read a book after dark. Very well situated for walks and visits to Dundee, Arbroath, St Andrews, Monifieth and more.

Wonderful hotel
This is the third time we've stayed here and once again it didn't disappoint. Nice and friendly at check in and then up to our suite with a great view from the balcony onto the 1st tee and 18th green on the Carnoustie championship course. We went down to the swimming pool later in the evening and were welcomed by a very friendly girl who used to train in fencing near us. The sword type rather than the garden variety. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic once again with the staff cheery and attentive. We will definitely be back for a forth time soon enough.
