Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Horizon Hotel enjoys a great location right on the seafront, within a short walk of the train station and the town center. Guests often appreciate the modern, spacious rooms; some even had a sea view. The restaurant and bar area are spacious, and the breakfast, especially the full Scottish breakfast, comes highly recommended; however, a few guests have noted issues with the beds being old. Free parking is a definite plus.
