I stayed at Carnoustie back in 2005 with a bunch of friends - we were on a golf holiday/package - and I have to say that it was the best golf holiday I have ever had. Oh how times change. Where have all the staff gone???? None of the old faces behind the bar or in the dining room which... more

Used to work there, enjoyed it mostly thanks to the people I was working with. Management blamed staff for everything that was wrong with the hotel but did nothing but make it more difficult to provide good service and present good food. Kitchen incredibly under-staffed and Front of House struggled to cope. Heard good things about new management and things... more

We believe in a team ethic and are working hard to build and support a customer focused unit capable of delivering the standards of product and service that is expected of our Hotel.

We were lucky enought to be upgraded to a fabulous suite - superb views over the 18th hole and every facility you could want (apart from bathrobes, but who cares?) On our first night we went to a Sinatra tribute dinner/cabaret - had a marvellous time. The food was as you would expect for this type of function, and the... more

We booked a last minute trip here for 1 night at £60 B&B. After reading a few reviews we started to worry about what we may expect, especially regarding food. We arrived late afternoon, room was excellent, staff were nice and friendly. Went into bar around 6.30pm for a drink - the young barman apologised for the slight delay as... more

We stayed one night at the hotel and discovered later that we had left our keys. After several calls due to no response, they told us that they had found them. They would debit me credit card for the postage and send them to me. A week later and they didn't arrive. It seems that they took three days before... more

With regret the guest confirmed an incorrect postal address listing, to which his keys were sent as requested. We are pleased to advise that the keys have now been returned to us and have been forwarded on to the clients revised address details. We apologise for the delay which was out with our control.

Staff were very friendly and hard working. The room itself was ok, the carpet was rather old, one side of the room was dusty, the shelf the tv sat on was particulary dirty, the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of storage space. The bathroom did not have an extractor rather odd) and this proved to be particulary problematic... more

Management response from

Thank you for highlighting the shortcomings experienced. We apologise that you found the room was unsatisfactory and have raised the shortcomings with the staff concerned and completed some refresher training. All bedroom bathrooms have individual extraction, but evidently upon further investigation this had been closed by the previous occupant, but has now been rectified by the maintenance team. We can...
