Service was excellent. Dinner was great. Room was spacious but hotel is an older decor. The views are amazing and location to the morning ferry was so convenient

Spotlessly clean hotel and nice well stocked bar. Room was very hot - we are experiencing a heat wave so perhaps closing blinds prior to guest check in would be helpful esp in second floor. Towel rail on full and radiator in corridor added to the heat. An uncomfortable night

We had a one night stay en route to Eigg. We were amazed at how good our stay was it was.fantastic value. Extremely comfortable bed with all facilities clean and good quality, great shower, unsurpassable views from our bedroom windows! Bar and restaurant service and food were excellent, although it was an incredibly busy night in the restaurant, the staff were so hard working and attentive. Thank you.

Stayed here on motorcycle trip. Service was really friendly with good communication. Hotel is dating a bit but clean and comfortable. Thought it was expensive overall.

6/10

The outdoor terrace is a wonderful place for to enjoy the sunset and there were musicians playing traditional music ~ just lovely. The hotel itself, however, is in desperate need of a deep clean and full renovation. The carpets are filthy, the walls are filthy, and despite the temperatures being well above 20°C the heaters in the hallway were blasting out heat. The hotel was so incredibly stuffy and smells were emanating from its very carpets and walls, it was terrible - one floor stunk strongly of of onions, another floor of a combination of wet dog and dirty laundry. My sinuses were immediately stuffed up because of the dust. The person at the front desk was kind enough to open my room window to air it out. However, in the evening, it seemed like the staff had their friends over visiting and they were running about and socializing with them.

Nice hotel but 4pm check-in is later than I’m used to and not really justifiable in my view. Shower was hopeless. Very little pressure and the only effective way to control temperature was to move it up and down the bar it was attached to. The temperature control itself did nothing. Pricey given the above.
