In 1894 the property came back on the market. It was described as being a dwelling house surrounded by trees, enclosed within high stone walls and with magnificent views from the front of the house across the River Forth to shores of Fife and the Lomond Hills.
The new owners opened its doors to the public under the name of the Queen's Bay Hotel. This was a very luxurious hotel. Apart from the putting green, there was also a 'bridge in the wilderness' and very fine rockery gardens. It ceased being a hotel in 1926 when it passed back into the owership of Jenner's.
(An article on Queen's Bay appears in the Spring 2007 edition of the Portobello Reporter.)
