Offering stunning views over Torrisdale Bay and the sea, Bettyhill Hotel is located in Bettyhill and features an a-la-carte restaurant, a bar, garden and terrace. Free Wi-Fi access is available.

Each room comes with a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities and a view. They either have an en suite or a private bathroom or access to a shared bathroom. Some rooms also boast sea views. The whole hotel and its staff were just lovely and also people visiting just the bar there were really nice. The view is breath taking from the terrace and the food was really good. We really enjoyed the interior of the hotel, very cozy yet spacious rooms and nice facilities. We had a chance to chat with the owners and they were lovely! Breakfast and dinner also really good. We recommend this place 10/10!

Set in Dunfermline, Coorie offers beachfront accommodation 13 km from Forth Bridge and offers various facilities, such as a terrace, a restaurant and a bar. Located around 23 km from Edinburgh Zoo, the hotel with free WiFi is also 25 km away from Murrayfield Stadium. The property is non-smoking and is situated 14 km from Hopetoun House. The property is actually a cafe with rooms on the second floor. The rooms were very spacious and had a king sized bed and two single beds. The toilet was also very big equipped with a large shower. Very comfortable room with just nice heating that was turned on throughout the day. We did not have breakfast there but the latte was very delicious and was purchased using a £5 voucher that was placed in the room by the kind staff. The location is superb as you can see the ocean from the window.
