Jolly’s Hotel
Contemporary rooms and a hip bar near the coast
About this hotel
Jolly's Hotel brings genuinely contemporary decor to a laid-back venue close to Broughty Castle Museum, its hip restaurant and bar built for a group that wants real atmosphere in the evening rather than a quiet corner. Close to Visocchi's and a short taxi from The Anchor Bar, it sits within an area known for its own restaurant scene beyond just the hotel's kitchen. Air conditioning matters on a warmer summer stay, and the property's contemporary style stands out among Dundee's more traditional options nearby. For a buddies trip that treats the evening after golf as part of the whole experience, this hotel's bar delivers something genuinely lively rather than merely functional.

Our take
A buddies trip wanting a genuinely lively bar and contemporary rooms, close to Broughty Castle's own restaurant scene, will get real value from Jolly's Hotel. A couple wanting a quieter evening after golf should look toward Morven Guest House or a similar smaller property instead, further from this livelier setting.
- Book a table at the hip on-site restaurant before a busy weekend, since the bar draws a genuine local crowd too.
- Walk to Broughty Castle Museum on a non-golfing morning; it sits close enough to reach easily from the hotel.
- Allow fifteen minutes' drive time to Carnoustie each morning when scheduling an early tee time from this base.

Why guests love itSix of us chose Jolly's Hotel specifically for the bar scene after a friend's recommendation, and the contemporary rooms and hip restaurant downstairs gave our long weekend an energy that a quieter, more traditional Dundee property near the same Broughty Castle area simply would not have matched for a group our particular size on that specific weekend away together in early autumn.
