I really liked Offshore and greatly enjoyed my recent two night stay. As expected for a new hotel, it’s clean and modern with a good design. Service from all the staff was superb and more like the sort of service I’d expect from a luxury 5* hotel (but don’t always get!). I stayed in a single room, which was undeniably small, but, at the same time, it was neatly designed and had everything that I needed for a comfortable stay (apart from the pillows which were far too bulky). The bathroom was excellent with a walk-in shower (rain shower and handheld), plenty of hot water and first class products (Scottish Fine Soaps Sea Kelp). Breakfast was superb and, again, every member of staff that I encountered was terrific and couldn’t have been more helpful. As an example, I like hot milk with my coffee and asked one of the young waiters if it was possible for some hot milk. Not only did he oblige but he did so willingly and with a smile, bringing extra milk in case I wanted to have more than one cup of coffee. That’s what I call excellent service. There was plenty of choice of high quality breakfast items, including a range of cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurts, pastries and breads plus the usual hot food cooked to order (the sausages were delicious!) Unfortunately, I didn’t sleep well, especially on the first night, due to the aforementioned bulky pillows. There were two on the bed (goodness knows how anybody could lay their head on two of them, without having neck pain!) and, although there was a spare pillow on one of the shelves, that too was a bulky one. With three pillows in a single room, why hadn’t consideration been given to one of them being a thinner one? Not everybody likes thick, bulky pillows and, even sleeping with just one of the pillows, wasn’t comfortable for me; I ended up taking both off the bed and using the towels as a pillow which wasn’t that great either. This was the only downside to an otherwise impressive stay that was great value for money. I’d really wanted to give five stars as well.
