Incredibly friendly staff and a great location in a fun town. Despite being located above a pub, the sound insulation must have been excellent because it was perfectly quiet in the evening and night. The rooms felt a little dated but were entirely clean and the bed was comfortable. Probably unfair to rate it a 4/5 when the price was so very reasonable. A 5 would only have been possible at something perhaps twice as pricey per night. Would gladly stay here again.

The hotel is an old inn in Johnshaven, a fishing village at least 10 miles outside of Montrose, in Aberdeenshire not Angus. Lovely setting near the harbour. The family room had a double bed and two single beds in a separate section. Shower room was small but well maintained. A small heater kept the room warm which was good because the weather was terrible on the first day. The bar/ dining area was lovely, the staff were all super and the food was excellent. Seafood was a speciality although there was a wide choice of dishes. People obviously came from all round to eat there and there was a lively atmosphere. We would certainly go back.
