Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a delightful surprise. The rooms were spotless and offered fantastic views, making the stay comfortable. The service exceeded expectations, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, offering beautiful views and a serene atmosphere. The dining experience was superb, with delicious food and attentive service.
The hotel offers stunning views across the sound to Kintyre in its rooms, which unfortunately were very hot with no way to cool them down. The lack of daily room servicing was disappointing, and having to request towels and provisions for a 3-night stay seemed inconvenient. However, the friendly and accommodating service added warmth to the experience.
The hotel offers stunning views across to the Mull of Kintyre and a warm, welcoming service. However, the room showers were cold, not serviced adequately, and required constant requests for provisions. The location is unbeatable with excellent views, and the dining experience is top-notch with a varied selection. The facilities are well-maintained.
