Duck Bay Hotel

8/10 Good
"Exceptional location especially with the pier you can wander. Room was lovely and clean, well decorated and we had our own balcony that looked right onto the water which was great. Net curtains and thick curtains kept midges and light out. We ate in the restaurant and dinner was wonderful, fish tacos and fajitas were tasty. The reception staff were lovely to talk to and spoke to maintenance for us when we said our shower wasn’t working correctly. (Either cold or boiling) unfortunately the shower issue was unable to be solved in our two night stay. Breakfast was in a lovely room overlooking the water. The continental option was limited but the fruit selection was good. I would have preferred the pastries to not be in plastic wrapping but I understand why to minimise waste. The full Scottish was fine and the scrabbled eggs and smoked salmon were tasty although I did have to pay a £5 supplement for this. Overall I would definitely recommend a stay at Duck Bay as the lovely room, excellent location and tasty evening meal make up for any small short comings."
