Stayed for two nights. Clean, quiet, warm, plenty of warm water, comfortable. Evening meal and breakfasts good portions.
Pros:

Clean, quiet, comfortable, very helpful and friendly polite staff.

Cons:

Main stair carpet had one or two dirty foot/boot marks/oil stain on it which doesn’t give a first good impression.

Would stay there again
Pros:

Excellent dinner, good selection of gluten free dishes for one of the party.

Cons:

Reception was unattended when we arrived and it took a phone call to alert the owner. A method of calling someone to check one in other than using a mobile phone would be really helpful (perhaps an old fashioned bell?) Although the bathroom was generally very nice the washbasin had a couple of large cracks which rather spoiled the appearance of the whole. Room was a bit small but was as expected and fine for one night.

Pros:

Our ferry to islay was cancelled so we booked in. We were a group of seven ( including two small children) and the hotel and staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful!

They made sure we had a table for dinner, they even made us breakfast bags to take away as we had an early ferry.

The staff were so kind and really went above and beyond for us and I want to give them a 100/10!! The hotel and food was fantastic as well and I had a great sleep. Lovely quiet room overlooking the harbour, it was wonderful and I would come back again for a specific trip next time.

Good location hotel
Pros:

Staff were very helpful and worked hard! Good location lovely views from window

Cons:

We had a few issues with the room .. no heating, not clean enough, I wiped down the bedside cupboard tops before I could use them! only one double socket for the whole room so if you used the supplementary oil heater and made a cup of tea that was that! Spoke to the manager about some issues and he was very amiable

It was ok
Pros:

Staff and welcome was great

Cons:

The room was disappointing, felt I’d drawn the short straw! No comfy chair, and view looked into other people’s homes! Not what I’d expected for the price. The hotel sells the view,
