The stay was phenomenal at Fingal. The staff were personable, efficient, and overall outstanding. The room was unique, comfortable, and luxurious. We had a great time. The daily breakfasts were phenomenal and the restaurant was first class and well-deserving of the 2 Rosettes. We will stay at the Fingal upon our return.

We arrived quite early for our booking and yet, the staff were amazing and accommodated us in every way. They were so sweet, it felt like home away from home. The chef is a MASTER in culinary arts. The scenery and area are beautiful! If you get the chance to stay here, it is worth every cent!

What an amazing 5* experience! The Fingal was everything I wanted it to be. A surprise overnight stay for my other half for his 70th birthday and it did not dissapoint. We stayed in the Luxury Duplex suite and it was lovey as the pictures on the website. Evening meal was delicious and the best breakfast I've had in a long long time. A short walk to the Royal Britannia yatch which also exceded my expectation which is beside The port of Leith distillery - if you like whisky a great place to visit. Obviously there's a cost involved staying on the Fingal in the Duplex room but for this special occasion worth every penny. Loved it !
