Where's the fridge?
There have been some complaints about the lack of a fridge in the rooms at Fife Lodge, however most guests were pleased when the kind and helpful reception staff offered to store the fridge items in the hotel's kitchen.

Weak Wi-Fi signal
If you are happy to sit down in the lobby and work then you won't have an issue, since guests have reported that the free Wi-Fi does not work in the rooms, however if you are reliant on a good connection then visitors suggest that you bring your own Wi-Fi cable.

Decor could use some attention
Those visitors who have enjoyed their stay at this lodge before have suggested that some minor issues be attended to, like the wallpaper in the hallways has started to peel off in sections, and the linens need a bit more of a modern touch.
