The Ugadale Hotel and Cottages

I loved the atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I said in my last review that I would like a rubber mat in the shower, and there it was about a couple of hours later - excellent reaction.

If you're planning to play golf in Machrihanish (and why else would you go there?) the Ugadale is an awesome place to stay. Next door to the Machrihanish Golf Club clubhouse, with a shuttle to Machrihanish Dunes five miles away.

Dinner was not available so we had to eat at the old clubhouse and the food was some of the worst weve ever had.

Really looking forward to our stay at the hotel , but we’re very disappointed . Both my wife and myself are in our 70 s .
After checking in we found the room and en suit
to have a really damp smell . We found three dead flys on the window sill . The window which would nt open , due to the frame being swollen and flaking paint . Wallpaper peeling and stained around windows in both areas .
T.V . Not working. We decided right away to cut our Two night stay to the one night . No refund of the £175 .50 per night stay . Never be back !

Problem with check in. When trying to register they said they expected us the day before claiming that someone had contacted the hotel asking if we could check in a day earlier. Fortunately I was able to show the staff my Hotel booking with the correct date. The matter was resolved but had caused us a bit of a panic before the staff member said that there was a room available for us. The hotel is a bit tired looking in places but the breakfast was

Unbelievably friendly assistance at check-in from Jo. I had booked the wrong set of rooms for our family of five, which she resolved in a very efficient and accommodating manner. Unexpectedly spacious rooms with gorgeous views. It beat our lofty expectations, and we will definitely hope to stay here again when we can return to Macrihanish in the future.

Beautiful part of the country and a comfortable stay. Good facilities. Had a great stay despite the weather!

So convenient for golf at Machrihanish, the Dunes and Dunaverty.

Close to the First Tee

We loved everything about our experience at the Ugadale: authentic and unkept hotel, golf across the road, quiet and serene space. Magical!

This hotel was amazing. The property, dining options, and just the room in general were all so wonderful. Will definitely be staying again!

Excellent hotel and loved the position it was stunning.

Beautiful sunrise and sunsets along the coast and a very charming pub from the old course right next door.

Die Umgebung ist großartig. Der Golfclub (allerdings nicht der, welcher zum Hotel gehört) ist gleich gegenüber. Frühstück und Wifi sind gut. Man kann das Zimmerfenster öffnen. Das Bad hatte genug Ablagefläche.
Der Pub ist ok, aber nichts besonderes.

At the time of our visit the hotel restaurant was closed in the evenings. No dinner was served. Instead, we had our evening meal in an adjoining pub where good ‘pub’ food was served.

Lovely outlook

Location is fantastic and hotel is very comfortable but very expensive for what you get - even if it is at a corporate rate, it is still expensive. Staff and service were particularly poor during breakfast. Staff gave the distinct impression that they couldn't be bothered and were keen to get rid of us as quickly as possible. Some serious training required to up standards - especially attitude to customers who have paid a high price for the experience!. It was very disappointing in that respect - standards have fallen. Used to be much better.

Lovely hotel in a great location! The staff were fantastic would stay there again

Stayed many times. Room was really good. However, the whole place needs attention. Flaki g paint, dirty carpets in all areas, worn in the room. Out towel rail in the bathroom was in bits and unusable. Severe lack of sockets in our room.
Food in adjacent “pub” - fish was good. However, chips were from frozen and not pleasant. Salad garnish was old and limp as was coleslaw - had been lying out for ages. This all lead us to not having breakfast, which, at around £18.00 we did not wish to chance. Far too expensive.
Staff at reception in morning was lovely - Caroline I think. Very pleasant and helpful. Made our departure so much nicer than our arrival.

When we arrived we were given two rooms which both had leaks due to holes and damp in the bathroom ceilings. Tired and run down hotel.
