Great location. The beach and golf course are just around the corner. The room had two single beds which I thought was odd for a premier king. They did offer to push them together with a king size quilt, but i don't really consider that the same. The evening meal was very nice, but staff a little awkward. They didn't seem to understand what a gin martini was, and how to bill it. I'm being a little picky.. They're close to getting a 5 star review from me.. it just wasn't quite perfect. Would stay again though, location was excellent.

Lovely hotel exterior and downstairs. Our room was very small and overlooked a roof which was a disappointment. The staff were all lovely and the food was excellent. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Disappointing Brora Stay

The room was fine and the bed comfortable but the room was not serviced very well, bathroom floor dirty, towels not changed at all during our 3 night stay. The restaurant is overpriced and the sevice slow especially at breakfast time ( we waited 40 mins for our breakfast one morning). Not enough staff to cope at busy times. The food was average and did not justify the high prices.

Lovely location, disappointing experience

We chose to stay in the Royal Marine because we were golfing in Brora and its location is perfect. The architecture of the building is beautiful and the interior has, mostly, been well restored. Our room was fine, clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, all our experiences in the restaurant and bar were spoiled by poor service. The staff seemed uncertain, as though they had not received adequate training. Errors were basic, e.g. bringing main courses before starter plates had been cleared, handing hot plates across others with the expectation we would take the plates from them, forgetting to bring items we had ordered. We had high expectations of the hotel but felt very disappointed with the overall experience.
