For me this was the most relaxing mini break I've had. Julie the owner/hostess is very friendly and chatty and nothing is too much trouble. Her rooms are spotless, bright and tastefully decorated. Depending on how your walking is, the beach is anything from 5-10 mins away, and what a beach it is. Julie's breakfast gives hotel chains a run for their money. Fully cooked and/or continental, you're spoilt for choice. I couldn't think of anything I needed in my room, everything was there, extra heater, tower fan, toiletries, well stocked tea/coffee tray including welcome tub of homemade shortbread. For me, I was in heaven, the added bonus of Julie's cats was a surprise and delight. Hygiene is observed, the cats are in a run outside whilst breakfast is on the go, but once that is over, they are happy to meet and greet guests. They were the highlight of my stay. I've already booked my next visit, where I'll pop on a local bus that goes to St Andrews, apparently only takes 30 mins.
Dunclutha is perfect for a chilled out break and Julie always has time to chat no matter how busy she is.
