Room requires maintenance.

We booked a spa package, the spa was a bit tired. The ice room had no ice, tiles were broken and missing. Lunch in the bar was included within the package, staff were in a hurry to take our food order but drinks were slow. The food was good. Our room 136 was not fit to be let out, there were two cracked tiles on the bathroom floor and one loose tile which could have caused an accident, many other floor tiles were uneven. This was an existing issue. Control dials were missing from the shower.

Old property and it shows. Rooms are very small and showers are not up to modern standards. Room was very hot with no real option to cool it down. This is a sizeable property which unbelievably has only one lift - a very slow lift - that seems to spend most of its time being used by staff. Disappointed and won’t use this property again.

Great stay at the Marine! From the moment we arrived we had an outstanding stay and made to feel so special. All the service was friendly and very attentive. It is a short walk into North Berwick. The spa and pool areas are great, with lots of areas to use and never that busy! The ice baths are a great addition! The lawn restaurant was amazing and the pizzas were fabulous!

Overall impression was of dimness - poorly lit corridors etc. Food was a bit pretentious, italian in restaurant was a surprise, more traditional in bar - but who serves stew in a bowl?? Seating areas plentiful but not very comfortable and tended to be crowded (I stayed at weekend). My room was OK but with 2 uncomfortable chairs and a sofa was hardly restful. No printed guide to phone numbers, meal times, menus or facilities in room, instead one had to access their web site which was a total PAIN...Staff were polite and helpful.

First room on arrival was cold and noisy. Underground boiler throbbing in room 104 . Asked to move( no room phone working had to go to reception ) . Given a great sea view room but again very cold . Went out for the day came back late afternoon and room was freezing . No room phone working ( had to go to reception again ). Central heating off agreed to switch it on . Room took 1 hour to begin to heat up . Went for dinner in the hotel - dining room cold - very uncomfortable . Next morning checked out 15/3 but no systems working . Just got final bill today 27/3 . Reported all the issues to management absolutely no contact . Waited for any contact before posting this review - none . Just shocking treatment . Cater for tourists no regard for locals just such a bad experience never stay there again ( this was our third booking ). Think they would make an effort to apologise !!

The hotel was very nice, clean and the room was big, comfortable and well decorated. Unfortunately we had a very poor experience in the hotel bar where we went for dinner. Service was slow, they forgot our cutlery, our drinks order and our desserts, which never came at all. Following a complaint to the hotel, they have addressed the issues and been very accommodating in offering a suitable solution so I can't fault them on that front and on that basis, would be willing to return
