Hotels near Drinking Fountain in Newport-on-Tay

We stayed for two nights, ate at the hotel on the 2nd evening and enjoyed the food and service. Staff are very helpful. Room was spacious and comfortable. We did not have the breakfast. Used the gym which was very well-provisioned. There is ample parking on site for£5/night. Would certainly return to the Apex and recommend to others

This hotel itself was nice and can't really be faulted. The pool looks bigger in the photos. We booked the maze restaurant at check-in for 19.30 but it was closed when we arrived and had to have our dinner in the bar. We had a double room, unfortunately room 109 decided to wake everyone up at 06.00 in the morning screaming and shouting at each other. Someone from the hotel knocked on the door 30 minutes later telling them to keep it down. (Not much the hotel can do regarding guests who only think about themselves). Unfortunately it did put me off the hotel.

We got an overnight stay with dinner as a wedding gift. I am glad it was a gift and we hadn’t paid for it ourselves as I was left disappointed. The hotel is certainly tired and in need of upgrading. I’ve had nicer rooms at a premier inn. The swimming area is like a public swimming baths and also in need of a serious refurb. Dinner was ok, nothing special. We had booked for 7pm and were not finished until after 9 - very slow service even though it was not particularly busy. My husband ordered soup for starter and had to go looking for a spoon as he wasn’t given one and no waiting staff were in our area to ask for one. He then had a burger which was raw in the middle. Not what you expect from a 4 star hotel. We won’t be back and won’t be recommending to others.

Hotel great but golf and clubhouse not so. Staff at the hotel were very good and very helpful, food was excellent and a good range of choices. Unfortunately the bar was expensive and you are a little restricted because of the venue position. Would stay at the hotel again but would play golf at different venues. We actually drive two minutes to drink and eat after golf at the castle course because the Fairmont clubhouse was closed for a private function at 3pm. After a 5 hour round in 30+ degrees not what any golfer wants.

What a great surprise finding the Shaftesbury Lodge Dundee. Found myself unexpectedly in Dundee for the day and night. Really didn’t want to fork out on city centre prices but wanted a good rated Hotel and found the Shaftesbury Hotel Dundee by chance. It’s around a 25 minute (1.4mi) walk from train station. Please don’t let the 25 minute walk put you off. The walk takes you past some of Dundee’s best rated coffee shops along Perth Road on route to the Hotel. The money saved on city centre hotel prices allows you to stop by these gems of coffee shops. Arrived 2 hours before check in and the manager was super cool and friendly about it. The room looked really cozy and noticed a bed I wanted to jump into at 1pm but more about that later. Room is of Victorian design with high ceilings. Extremely clean, tidy and cozy. Kettle, coffee, galaxy drink, Pringles, bottled water and tasty biscuits all on offer. Smart TV with various apps. I had Netflix & BBC iPlayer on. Plenty of fresh towels and a great shower. Oh! The bed? Quite simply Heaven! Taken a note of the bedding and pillows and will try to recreate at home. Just finished the all Scottish breakfast (other tasty options are available). The 25 minute walk allows you to burn off the coffee shop treats and big breakfast. Best 25 minute walk in Dundee😀. Was embarrassed to have found the room rate at only £60. Sometimes you get lucky. If I’m back for the football again will seek out the Shaftesbury. Staff very friendly and polite! Thank You.

We recently stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. We chose it for its location of being close to family in Leuchars but primarily because it was dog friendly. We didn’t on this occasion use the golf facilities. We stayed in a room in one of the lodge buildings which was ideal as it was next to the golf course and ideal for dog walks or just letting him out supervised to do his business! The room was comfortable and clean and with all the essentials needed for a mini break. The breakfast in the hotel was very good some days buffet and some days ordered from the menu. We ate an evening meal in the hotel several days and whilst the menu choice is not extensive the food was good quality and value. With having the dog all our meals were in the bar area which was fine for us as you have lovely views over the golf course and it was very relaxed. All the staff were friendly and helpful providing a great level of service. We would definitely come back and stay again here. A good location for exploring St Andrews, Dundee, Carnoustie & many beaches on this coast

Malmaison was a lovely place to stay with great reception staff and even an better bar team however due to the nature of the building there was a lot of outside noise. Together with noisy people in the hotel it made for a rather disturbed night. There is no parking for the hotel either so that is another reason for the 4/5 mark.

The hotel's breakfast includes local specialties. Those who like thick texture should like it. The location is very good, whether it is to go to Taihe or the city center, especially there are two small supermarkets downstairs.

This hotel is in a great location! It's right next to the train station and opposite the Discovery ship. The rooms are clean, modern, and quiet. The shower has great water pressure and the pillows on the beds are very comfortable. Also, the Wifi was good. The kettle and free teas and coffees were nothing to write home about and when you use the shower you do get water everywhere and totally soak the floor because there is no door to close-just a half glass wall. This was not really a huge issue though, and I really liked staying here and would definitely recommend this hotel and definitely return!

The nicest things come in the smallest parcel! Maybe small in size but always delivers. Have visited this hotel several times and have never left unhappy. It’s lovely to sit out on a lovely evening with a glass of wine. The grounds are immaculate, with table and chairs and it is very peaceful. The restaurant is first class as is the food. Rooms are very comfortable and have tea/coffee facility. There is also an iron and board. It is a short distance out of the city centre but several buses run from the town centre to right outside the hotel. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel you will not be disappointed.
