We had a wonderful two nights at the Marine Hotel as a break before our baby arrives. On check in we were firstly surprised with an upgrade, then we had a lovely interaction with Jay who arranged a special treat in our room. Thank you for being so thoughtful! The beds are huge and so comfy. The view from the hotel was amazing, as was the breakfast each morning. Definitely try the Scottish pancakes! We really enjoyed using the gym, swimming pool and spa and would definitely recommend for couples looking for a quiet and relaxing break.

We had a fabulous break. Check in was quick and painless, luggage taken to our room which was large and well equipped. Room was very clean, bed was huge and although there was a early 20th century theme, it had a full suite of modern extras you will find in a modern hotel room. The wallpaper was....an aquired taste! The room was serviced beautifully each morning. Breakfast was fab. Just the huge selection I love to see. No complaints. Visited the spa and pools. Nice and clean, wonderful massage, great place to switch off for a while. Took afternoon tea, a little pricey but there was a lot of choice on those plates which was very good and the tea selection was extensive and quirky. Some great walks along the links and the beach beside it, walked in the morning and at sunset, seemed different each time. Had dinner in the restaurant and the bass rock bar. Service was very good, we did not wait long on our orders and the food was good. Didn't come away from either thinking I got good value for money. Dunno, maybe it was just me. All in all it was a special place and I would recommend it. One thing though, if you already add a service charge, there really is no need to ask if you want to leave a gratuity on the food or drinks bill?

We had a lovely time in this beautiful hotel for our tenth anniversary. Waking up to a view of the sea was very soothing, and the spa was luxurious. The staff were friendly and the rooms immaculate.

A great location for relaxing with the North Sea view. Room could have been warmer. Food great but allow for extra time (in line with the relaxing mood of the place). Great Spa massage

Wonderful experience in this established fine country hotel. We had an overnight spa break here, starting with afternoon tea. Beautifully appointed wonderful decor. Spa has a wonderful aroma steam, and sauna, and outdoor heated pool; sitting outside under a heated waterfall in the rain was such a wonderful experience. Sarah on the front desk had upgraded our room as a lovely kind gesture due to the surprise as well, and we had a wonderful room on the top floor with a view of the course and the sea. Evening meal was superb too, both starting with Shetland mussels, followed by mains of osobucco and monkfish, prepared excellently. Breakfast the next morning over looking the sea was such a pleasant treat. All the team were so courteous and kind, special mention to Erin who served our afternoon tea, and also breakfast too, and was exceptionally helpful and polite. Throughly recommended for a wonderful getaway in the charming little town of North Berwick.

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Marine Hotel. The beautiful seaside view was a highlight, perfect for a peaceful morning tea overlooking the water. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and access to the pool and spa made the stay even more relaxing. The staff were attentive and ensured everything went smoothly. However, the first room had maintenance issues such as cracked tiles, a hole in the wall, and a very loud ventilator, which I wouldn’t expect from a five-star hotel. Although the room was changed promptly, this should be addressed. The bar service lacked professionalism, and the breakfast could offer more variety, especially vegetables and healthier options.
