Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Very good breakfast and evening meal in on-site restaurant. Location was exactly what we wanted. Room towards back was very quiet. The accommodation was very comfortable and spotless. We certainly would return there.
Posto molto molto bello. Camera un po piccolina ma molto confortevole. Consiglio di prenotare con la camera anche il ristorante.
Clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast and restaurant.
Parking was a little difficult but we managed
Sky tv. Clean and modern bathroom. Great location
Liked it all
Camera grande e accogliente, pulita e con un letto king size molto comodo, all'ultimo piano. Bagno grande con vasca e doccia. Posizione superlativa di fronte al porticciolo. Colazione abbondante e preparata al momento. Personale molto disponibile e cordiale.
La colazione è preparata al momento, se si ha fretta di uscire dall'hotel non è ideale. Noi avevamo molto tempo e l'abbiamo goduta a pieno con la calma di una vacanza.
La situación del hotel era perfecta. Habitación 14 muy amplia y con vistas al puerto. Nueva y limpia El personal amable y cercano. Cenamos en el restaurante y me encantó la sopa Silk Cullen.Conviene reservar.
Es difícil aparcar.
Perfect seaside location in brand new rooms. Great restaurant and walking access to several taverns and pubs after a big hike.
No hotel parking but roadside and free parking is a short distance away. Not a big deal.
Very nice place. There was enough space in the room, clean bathroom. Very good breakfast. Would defintely recommend.
If you come by car-be aware that parking is not easy.
Excellent room, very clean with modern fittings
Nothing at all, it’s all good
I was delighted to find The Waterfront has five new rooms. It's a lovely hotel with amazing staff and delicious food.
Modern & freshly decorated
Only ceiling window, small room & felt claustrophobic
Good menu and food was tasty, served by friendly staff
Room was too hot overnight, with lots of noise from road outside, meaning poor night’s sleep
Loved the location on the harbour. Room was very comfortable and well appointed. Restaurant was superb. Staff were exceptional - so helpful. Would recommend to anyone wanting a break.
More information about booking tables early. Maybe I missed that but if you want a specific time then needs to be done before arrival during busy periods.
Location, staff and one of the rooms were great.
The second room was a bit small and did not have an openable window (just a skylight). It was stuffy.
Chambre spacieuse et agréable, personnel très accueillant
Very clean, great food
Great place to stay and ideally located to tour the East Neuk of Fife
I just love staying at the Waterfront. This is our 3rd time. We come along for the festival. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts and food are very good also.
I couldnt fault anything
I loved the location. Right on the harbor front.. I had a single room and although my room didn't have a view, it was clean with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast menu was great, a big selection and the food was delicious. I was there for two nights and had dinner there one night. The fish and chips were very good. A huge portion, could have shared it. Lovely light batter. The staff were great, so pleasant and helpful. The Wee Chippy is worth a visit as well. BAll around delightful experience. I didn't have a car so used public transportation...Bus stop minutes away.
I have no complaints.
Good location

tolles Frühstück

Camera enorme e molto confortevole, proprio sul porto; posizione eccellente. Anche il ristorante è stato una piacevole sorpresa, sia per la colazione abbondante e di ottima qualità, sia per la cena con pietanze abbondanti e con ingredienti di alta qualità e particolari. Il personale è stato molto gentile ed accogliente.
Very large and comfortable room with a terrific shower!! Bathroom was large too and also enjoyed a relaxing bath! Friendly staff!! We enjoyed both dinner & breakfast in the onsite restaurant!! We loved Anstruther - such a charming town!! Highly recommended!!

Camera molto spaziosa ed arredata elegantemente, bagno grandissimo sia con doccia che vasca separati, attenzione per i piccoli particolari. Colazione abbondante e preparata al momento, come è tipico in Scozia. Comodo il parcheggio del porticciolo proprio di fronte alla struttura, che è gratuito dalle 18:00 alle 8:00. Personale gentile e simpatico.
Peccato che la nostra camera non aveva la vista sul mare.
L’emplacement dans le village sur le port, la gentillesse du personnel, et le petit déjeuner.
Il manque un peu d’insonorisation entre les chambres.
Breakfast was excellent. Room extremely clean and comfy.
Tolle Lage, freundliches Personal. Sehr gutes Frühstück
Parken nur zwischen 6pm und 9am kostenlos
The room was lovely and not too small which can happen with a single. The staff were super friendly and I had amazing food at every meal. I was going to try to 'famous' Anstruther chippy, but the food at the hotel was so good I preferred to eat there. I have re-booked for next year already!
Nothing really, I couldn't really find any fault with the hotel or the restaurant.
Ubicación privilegiada y de fácil acceso. No tienen elevador pero te ayudan con el equipaje. El desayuno es excelente.
No es fácil estacionar.
Amazingly hospitable staff and incredibly beautiful rooms. We stayed with a baby and everything went smoothly. Extra point for delicious breakfast and a restaurant that I would recommend by itself!

מקום מאד נחמד. צמוד לנמל. תחושה נעימה מאד. אנחנו היינו בחדר החזיתי שבדיוק מעל המסעדה. חדר יפהפה עם מראות יפים של הנמל. הכפר מנומנם למדי יש לדעת.
הכל בסדר. כמו ברוב המקומות בסקוטלנד מדרגות גלולות בדרך לקומה השנייה למי שזה חשוב לו קחו זאת בחשבון.
La posizione, la vista, l'alloggione il cibo.
Nulla da rilevare
Everything marvellous stay thank youb
Tout! Le personnel était charmant, le petit-déjeuner à la carte était délicieux et la chambre impeccable.
Location, very comfy beds and breakfast was superb.
The location was perfect.
Our room was very warm with no windows and a heavy duvet.
Parking
Alles Neu
Fenster hat nicht geschlossen und Licht vom Feursensor war viel zu hell -stoerend
Genuinely perfect stay. Great room, nice location (even though it can be quite a few steps up/down the stairs), and the food at the main building is phenomenal. Kind staff, too
Camera con vista sul mare stupenda grande e, pulita, posizione centrale al paesino, colazione abbondante
Nulla da segnalare
Excellent position in a lovely square front sea. Good room with sea view.
Location was great.
The staff were warm + welcoming. Upon my arrival I was shown to my room + explained do’s/don’ts. I was also given a general guide on town and how to get further afield should I need to e.g St Andrews. They also provided a carry out breakfast for my early start when I left 🥰
Minor point: A chair at the desk would have been nice.
Everything!
Nothing!
Era autentico y acojedor, decorado con gusto, y el desayuno en el restaurante excelente. La ubucacion perfecta
Nada
Everything. Lovely room tucked round the side of the main restaurant. The evening meal and breakfast in the restaurant was very nice and of course the veg Haggis was a bit special - recommend booking the restaurant.
Only staying for one night...... Parking is a bit of a challenge A minor point - I thought I was booking the room above the restaurant as shown in the site photographs but was actually in the annexe to the side of the restaurant - which was very nice.
Location, the room was of a good size and clean and well presented.
A little noisy due to other rooms and tables being positioned out the front of the hotel.
Era accogliente, pulita e nuova
Nulla
La situation, l'équipement et la propreté de la chambre, l'excellent petit-déjeuner. Le très bon dîner et le personnel avenant au restaurant "The Bank" où le Waterfront nous a réservé une table, sa salle étant pleine.
Quelques jours avant d'y séjourner, nous avons reçu un règlement de plusieurs pages au sujet de la fumée, de la convivialité dans l'hôtel, etc. On veut bien, mais à la base, nous sommes censés être éduqués même si nous savons bien que souvent des personnes sont irrespectueuses des lieux et des autres. Le personnel est efficace mais guère sympathique et expéditif, peut-être était-il trop stressé.
Dinner was great. Very good selection for breakfast. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Location really good.
Some fittings were a bit neglected.
Excellent new accommodation and terrific restaurant in great location

The Staff were all.lovely . The food excellent. Would stay again
Staff,food and location
Väldigt trevligt ställe, tyst o lugnt fast det låg nära hamn o hav
Friendly staff, spotlessly clean rooms, good choice of food in restaurant, easy check in. Lovely situated hotel.
Nothing
Breakfast was amazing although slow service. The room was nice and spacious. Being in the waterfront was amazing.
Parking is a nightmare especially during the evening. Also checking is chaotic when the restaurant is full. I recommend getting there before dinner rush.
Spotless room, well-equipped, perfect location. Dinner and breakfast were superb.
couldn't really fault anything. very clean, breakfast was above average with a lot of choice.
nothing to do with the accommodation but the mobile signal was non existent:( they did have WIFI which was adequate. parking however was a pain, sometimes a 5/10 minute walk (with luggage)
Die Zimmer sind sehr geräumig, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr gemütlich.
The rooms were nice and brand new. Everything was in excellent condition. The furnishings were comfortable and very clean. The check in and check out process were rather informal and very friendly. It was a nice experience. The restaurant featured great food and very kind service.
This is a typically American complaint, but the rooms were such that getting fresh air/good vernitlation was difficult. Even a 23 C day resulted in a very warm and rather stuffy room. I'm sure it's only an issue in mid-summer but for us it detracted from the otherwise wonderful experience.
Excellent location, comfy room and great breakfast.
De ruime kamer met uitzicht op de haven was geweldig. De lokatie was top. Aan de levendige haven en overal dichtbij.
Er waren geen punten die ons tegenvielen. De hee beleving was geweldig.
Upon arriving at the Waterfront mid day and hoping for an early check in, I was warmly greeted and pleased that my room was already available. Check in was very fast and I was shown up to my room. My harbor view room was large, beautifully decorated and well-equipped. Lovely view, and good windows so the noise from the busy harbor was minimal. Comfortable bed, good storage, great shower. The location above the restaurant was very convenient. Breakfast was delicious with generous portions. Traditional Scottish/British breakfast, with other items also available. Restaurant was fantastic for other meals as well - note that it is very popular so reservations are needed. Also greatly appreciated that they allowed me to store my bag in a closet at the restaurant for the remainder of the day after check out.
The only issue I had was discovering that I did not have a mini-fridge in my room. Not a huge concern, and to be fair, I didn't request one -- but it would have been helpful.
Läget är bra nere vid hamnen. Bra service av personalen.
Great location close to the harbour. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Fantastic breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff.
Single room was small, and quite hot.
Nous avons absolument tout aimé dans cet établissement et n’avons qu’un seul regret : n’y être resté qu’une seule nuit !
Absolument rien à reprocher
Amazing hotel. Rooms tastefully decorated with good quality fixtures and fittings. Bed very comfortable and big for a single bed. The food in the restaurant is great value, especially the breakfast. The staff are super friendly and helpful and I'd definitely return. A super base to explore the coast. Parked up the hill just a few minutes' walk for free.
Nothing.
Room excellent
30min to get breakfast on the plate-too long
La chambre spacieuse, la literie, le calme, le petit déjeuner, le restaurant ....enfin, tout

Bra läge inför en trip till Isle of May. Bra restaurang och bra frukost.
Vi hade inte bokat mat tid och vi fick vänta över en timme på maten.
Lovely property set on the water, idyllic location.

Great location Clean Modern Great facilities Shower pressure good Tea, coffee, biscuits in the room Bed, cover and pillows very comfortable Staff were lovely, helpful and friendly Breakfast kept us going all day
Fabulous location - I was lucky enough to be in one of their brand new rooms Great room and the staff were wonderful. Also a really good breakfast.
Parking a bit tricky but the staff were helpful with advice on where and when to park.
Nice location, friendly staff and a great breakfast.
No hotel parking so had to park a long way from hotel there is on street parking but it was so busy we couldn't find a space, noisy next door guests, and there was a leak below the sink in our room.
The breakfast was excellent - clearly made freshly to order with tasty ingredients👍
Waterfront advertises its location on harbour front but accommodation was actually to rear of adjacent property with no views at all - this was not made clear when booking room
Clean, spacious room. Lovely restaurant and friendly, helpful staff made this a delightful stay.
We could smell the kitchen from our room but it wasn’t much of a bother.
Beautiful room, restaurant great, exceptional fish and chips in their very own chippy!! Right in front of a picturesque harbour with outdoor seating available! Great place!
Leaving the comfiest bed ever!!
The breakfast was delicious and the staff were so nice and helpful. Our stay at the hotel was great and dinner on Thursday night was amazing.
Nothing
Excellent breakfast
Staff, really friendly and helpful. Position was fabulous.
Just a little noisy above us at night, but didn't spoil our stay.
Personnel PDJ impeccable Taille de la chambre Très propre Bien situé
Rien si ce n’est que pas de vue de la chambre mais cela ne pose pas de problème Pas de parking gratuit
First class food both for breakfast and dinner. Location on the harbour with restaurant adjacent to the accommodation. Very comfortable large double bed with excellent bath and shower facilities. All the girls working in the restaurant were really friendly and helpful. What’s not to like?
Slight issue with the tv soon sorted
Fantastic location, great deal with breakfast included, friendly staff
Our room had only one small window, but it was clean and comfortable.
Staff was great and the restaurant was quite nice o
Our room was in the newly built wing. Noisy, hot (couldn’t open any windows), and not really value for money.
Excellent breakfast menu
Nothing - though some may struggle with stairs to the higher rooms.
Es un hotel maravilloso, las habitaciones son cómodas y muy limpias y con una decoración encantadora. En una situación privilegiada frente al puerto. Personal muy agradable. Desayuno buenísimo! Un hotel de 10
Nada.
Great location and absolutely lovely spot. The room and bathroom were huge with everything we could possibly need. Great location for day trips to Isle of May. Very good breakfast. Highly recommend.
It was a little noisy overnight but that was due to other guests so not really the fault of the property.
Lovely staff. really good breakfast. Bed very comfy
would've loved a room with a view
Ottima posizione. Colazione abbondante. Accogliente l'alloggio. Abbiamo prenotato anche il loro ristorante come consigliato e abbiamo mangiato pesce fresco ottimamente cucinato
Abbiamo dormito solo una notte e tutto è andato bene.
Habitación amplia, limpia y reformada. El personal fue muy amable y nos dejaron dejar el equipaje unas horas después de hacer el check out. El desayuno no es buffet pero tiene mucha variedad y es contundente. Nos encantó.
Para hacer el check-in hay que hacerlo entrando en el restaurante. Es un poco raro. Pero no afecta a la estancia.
We loved everything. Rooms are gorgeous, restaurant is great. Staff are helpful, chatty and kind.
Great food, well prepared and good variety
NOthing I can think of
Alles sehr sauber und neu. Gute Lage, direkt am Hafen. Sehr freundliches Peronal. Bequeme Betten.
Im Restaurant war es sehr kalt, da es, wenn die Tür aufging, sehr stark windete.
Nicely situated on the harbour front. Looked nice from the outside. And when we went in it was great
Nothing
Great location. Spotlessly clean.
Staff at dinner weren’t very welcoming
Super friendly staff, breakfast was great, room was A+ and the shower was superb.
