O perfil de HCN1979

A comfortable hotel, situated in Ascog Bay, approx 5 minutes drive from Rothesay. The hotel has a lovely setting, looking over the bay. There are infact only 8 rooms and the owners have tried very hard to make sure your stay is comfortable. Our room was very nice, although a little smaller than imagined, but had a nice view over to the bay.

The winning medal for the hotel goes to the restaurant however. The restaurant itself is traditional in decor, but very 'plush' and tidy. The food was beautiful - reasonable portions and very fresh. Between us, we had mushroom strogonoff, pate, fish chowder, sticky toffee pudding and creme brulee! A nice bottle of geverztraminer from the extensive wine list also. Breakfast was also supurb, with an extensive 'tradional' Scottish menu, of good quality.

We paid £79pp DBB.

This is THE BEST chippy in Leicestershire, with a great reputation. In a nutshell, it consists of a take away chippy and a 'restaurant', which serves....you guessed it....fish and chips! They may do you apukka pie or battered sausage if you ask kindly too! The staff are very friendly and definately 'on the ball'. The fish is fresh, the chips are supurb and you even get extra chips if you manage to finish your plate! The portions are quite large and cost approx £7 I think. They also do kid size portions and are a licensed restaurant.

Not the best choice for those on a diet!

We got an excellent deal here on line - £60 B&B per room. The hotel is quite large and 'olde English' style, with a pleasant terrace and bar area. Our room was basic but very comfortable and had everything we needed. We ate lunch and breakfast there. Lunch consisted of ciabattas and sandwhiches, which were nothing spectacular, but nice enough. Breakfast was good, served what seemed to be a refurbished dining room.

The staff at the hotel were friendly and gave us a lift down the road to a wedding reception.

We didn't have a good look around the grounds of the hotel, but there is certainly ample parking, a terrace (with a Sunday jazz brunch!) and even an outdoor pool I believe!

Great location, right on the corner of High Street. If you like to people watch, here is the place to be!

Have been a few times and it is always reliable, though I have found that the tables are often not cleared very promptly.

Last time, I had a lovely hot chocolate and a banana muffin, which was very delicious! The pan au chocolat are also very nice!

WHAT A FANTASTIC PLACE!!

The North Inch, or park, is a wonderful, free space for anybody to use...we go there all the time.

There is a a HUGE grass area, with footie and rugby posts (Perthshire Rugby Club), a golf course, play area, pentanque, bowls, monuments (a must) and loads of amazing daffodils in Spring!

The walk can be a loop of approx 1 mile by the river - completely flat, so good for cyclists, runners, buggies or just lazy people like me!!!

TIP - go Sunday mornings when the boys are out playing rugga and footie!

Located in Weem, near Aberfeldy (25 miles from Perth), this is a lovely hotel to stop at for a drink or lunch. The bar/restaurant itself could do with redecorating, but is still very comfortable and does really good, homecooked, reasonably priced food.

The really nice areas of this hotel are the 'lounges' - very traditional with leather sofas and open fires for a max of 8 people.

Obviously a hotel too, though have not stayed here myself - I just go for the food!!!! P.S They sell Nobby's nuts - beat KP!

We had a pleasant evening meal here a few months ago. Inside, the restaurant is a little '80s', being predominantly red/black but it actually worked very well. The food was pretty good and we paid approx £60 for 3 courses and wine.
Good location in town, but tucked away down a little side street. Also does lunches, though have not been personally. Beautiful flower hanging baskets in the summer. Flower Power!

A cafe by day and a licensed bistro by night. Located in a nice area of Perth, by the Concert Hall, Cafe Canto is a reliable cafe. I have only had lunch here, but found the food good and reasonably priced and the service good. I had a hot choccie and a scone.

The cafe lacks 'cosiness' and unsure what it would be like for an evening meal, but will certainly try it out and let you know!

Provender Brown is a great deli, selling an array of produce, many of which are local; last week I bought some strawberries grown in Errol.

There is a huge selection of cheeses, cold meats and pate - try the duck and quantro pate.

You name it, they have it here and it is all such good quality........fresh bread, meats, cheese, wine, beer, cakes etc etc. Also try Dr. Kargs crackers....yum yum!
