We've never been to Scottburgh before...recently we took an opportunity through Daddy's Deals to visit Scottburgh and had a weekend stay at the esteemed Blue Marlin Hotel, the ageing Hotel boasts the ambiance and tranquility of peaceful surrondings, with great views to the beach, river, rivermouth, railway line on top of a bridge and the beach front including a busy...

We stayed at this hotel for a long weekend. Having grown up on the coast this hotel brought back childhood memories of past holidays. The hotel is old-fashioned and in need of TLC but offers good value. We enjoyed the meals, especially breakfasts. Unfortunately the beach was polluted at the time and swimming banned so we drove a short way... More

The staff seriously needs an attitude adjustment. They should be reminded without guests, they do not have a job. Hotel needs TLC. The dining times are ridiculous. Real clock watchers, food is removed from buffet 10 mins before closing. Meals are served in a rush. After 8pm the staff just Disappear. After dinner you have to go searching for somebody... More

I've stayed here, and the Cutty Sark (nearby). They are on par to be honest. They're both seaside hotels that date from a bygone era. Someone forgot to close them down. This one you have the added inconvenience of having to cross a railway line to get down to the beach, and the gate keeps strict and restrictive hours. Good... More
