Coorie

A lovely cafe, we wish we stayed the night before! We visited for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The Coorie breakfast was fantastic - and the extra serving of tatty scones were a treat. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food and drinks were great. We had a fantastic seat at the window and were promptly served. A definite hidden gem in the area, and somewhere we will definitely be returning to when we next visit Scotland. It was a shame we did not stay the night as we know we would have enjoyed it. Surrounding area is lovely too.

We went to a festival nearby and stayed here and honestly - 10/10. Staff were amazing and even let us keep our room until 4:30pm free of charge as we weren't flying home until 7pm. Staff are great and we're so friendly and helpful. The place itself is lovely and has some great touches like vouchers for money off in the cafe and stunning seaside views. I would 100% stay here again if I was attending another event or visiting Edinburgh. We did hire a car as Limekilns is very remote - that's the only thing I'd say, transport is needed! Amazing stay! Thank you!

Stayed at Coorie for 2 nights in August 2022. Self check in if arriving after 4.30pm, you are sent a code to enter front door, keys left in allocated room. No staff member on site after 4.30pm until café reopens in the morning. Initially we were happy with the room, the amenities (albeit a bit limited) and the peaceful location. The £5 gift voucher left in the room was also a really nice touch. The room was clean & comfortable as was the bathroom. I wish I could say that our stay was totally positive but unfortunately there was a serious issue which was very distressing and totally spoiled our visit to the B&B & was a huge negative. We stayed in Room 4. The doors have just a doorknob, the key to lock it fits into the middle of the doorknob. When leaving for the day the next morning after arrival my wife had trouble locking the door. Sacha the housekeeper came along & asked if there was a problem, my wife said she could not lock the door. Sacha told her to just leave it open as she was servicing the rooms. My wife asked if she was going to service it at that point but Sacha said she was doing upstairs first. As we had our possessions in the room including an expensive laptop & tablet my wife understandably did not want it left open unattended & said she would rather it be locked until housekeeping was ready to service it & asked if Sacha could show her how the lock worked. They both tried several times & there was obviously a knack whereby you had to sort of pull the knob towards you & give it a half turn or so whilst the key was inserted, not easy to do as even the housekeeper had trouble getting it to lock. Between them they got the lock to work & my wife satisfied herself the door was locked before leaving but it was clear locking the door could be difficult & fiddly even for the staff. Sacha got quite irritated with my wife wanting the door to be locked & said she could not see what the problem was with it being left open, my wife was quite taken aback by that comment & with her abrupt attitude. My wife was concerned about Sacha wanting to just leave the room open so she specifically asked Sacha to make sure the door was definitely locked after she made up the room later. Sacha said she would make sure it was locked. We were both extremely annoyed and upset to arrive back at our room around 10pm only to find that the door was unlocked with our possessions totally accessible in the room to anyone who turned the doorknob and had obviously been unlocked all day since the room had been serviced in the morning. I think it is a fundamental expectation in any B&B, hotel room or any other establishment where you are paying to stay to expect a door to be kept locked especially when you have specifically asked Housekeeping to ensure the door is locked when the guest is not occupying it and the guest has ensured the door is locked before they left the building in the presence of a staff member. It also defies the obje
