Very friendly staff, clean, quiet rooms.
Good hearty breakfast. Lovely view of garden,beach and river from dining room and bedroom.
Slight issues were TV stuck on one channel and holder for shower head broken. To be fair, we didn't mention these till check out, as weren't big issues for us. Neither of these things would stop us staying here again.
It was an unexpected treat to find such a nice place to stay as we were passing through the area!

The Bank hotel is just the type of accommodations my wife & I were looking for, privately owned, small, unassuming, within easy walking distance to local shops and with a unique, beautiful view.

Great place in Anstruther
Great location in Anstruther. Lovely personell. Great breakfast and dinner with a good variety of both food and drinks. The outdoor place was a bit noisy with the pub's air conditioner residing on it. When the people living on the floor above us walked around it made quite some noise early in the morning.

I stayed in the room facing High Street for two nights, and the experience was great all around. It was surprisingly quiet. The bar is five steps away, the staff was cordial and professional, and both breakfast and evening meals were well-made and presented.

Great little room in a great location. Everyone was super nice. However we were there when Scotland was playing Germany in the Euros… the bar was packed. It was extremely loud. The windows to the room were right on the street and not sound proof. The party didn’t die down until well after midnight. Besides that… the 1 night was great

The Bank.
Little bit noisy from the street. We booked dinner for 7.00pm and we sat for 15mins with menu's before someone took our order. Breakfast this morning was outstanding

The room that we stayed in had converted shop windows as the 'wall' separating us from the street. This provided zero noise reduction from the crowd of people standing outside the next door pub which was constant until after the pub closed. Not only was it extremely noisy, it also felt very unsafe with only a pane of glass separating our bedroom from a crowd of rowdy drunk people in the street, and we were not able to relax all night and got zero sleep. I am shocked and appalled that a hotel inspector would allow this property to use this as a bedroom! It is the WORST hotel room I have ever stayed in! The sad thing is, the room and property itself was very nice and had we stayed in a room with 4 walls, I have no doubt that we would have had a different experience. Manager was very cooperative when we complained but since the hotel was full, it wasnt possible to move rooms, which really would have been the only solution. We wont be returning.
