A-Wave From It All

HOTEL OVERVIEW

You know what caught me off guard about A-Wave From It All? The name’s actually perfect once you’re there – it’s this quirky little place tucked away in St Cyrus Holiday Park that feels like someone’s well-kept secret. I mean, when you first pull up to 6 Lunan View, you might wonder if you took a wrong turn somewhere because it doesn’t look like your typical hotel at all. But that’s exactly the point.

The whole setup is refreshingly different from those cookie-cutter chain places. There’s no fancy lobby with marble floors or uniformed staff hovering around – instead, you get this genuine boutique experience that actually feels boutique, not just marketed that way. The owners clearly put thought into every detail without making it feel precious or over-designed. What really sold me was how quiet it gets in the evenings. St Cyrus isn’t exactly a party destination (thank goodness), so you can actually hear the waves from the nearby beach if you step outside. During the day, you’ll see families coming and going from the holiday park, but it never feels chaotic or overwhelming like some seaside spots can get in summer.

Honestly, the location works better than you’d expect. Montrose is just a short drive away when you need proper shops or restaurants, but you’re far enough out to avoid the usual tourist crowds that swarm places like St Andrews. The A92 is close enough that getting around is actually easy, but you don’t hear traffic noise – I was worried about that initially. Parking’s straightforward too, which anyone who’s driven around Scottish coastal towns in July will appreciate. The check-in process was refreshingly normal – no endless paperwork or upselling attempts, just genuine folks who seem to care about whether you’re comfortable. I stayed during what locals call the “shoulder season” in late spring, and it felt like having the whole area to yourself. The nearby Lunan Bay is honestly one of those beaches that makes you wonder why everyone flocks to busier spots when gems like this exist. Walking there in the morning became my routine – takes about ten minutes if you don’t mind a bit of uneven path, and you’ll likely have long stretches of sand to yourself. That 9.5 rating isn’t just random internet enthusiasm; it reflects how rare it is to find a place that delivers on being genuinely different without trying too hard. A-Wave From It All gets that balance right – comfortable enough that you’re not roughing it, unique enough that you’ll remember it long after checkout.
