Ok won’t be back
Pros:

Pretty beachside location - great breakfast service

Cons:

For a dog friendly hotel - it lacks - you can’t take your dog into the bar - or the lounge - and you can’t eat in the restaurant either - so you are down into the basement to get to a lacklustre conservatory to eat … means you miss out on on some of the charm of the place

Grandioses full scotish breakfast
Pros:

Tolles Frühstück, sehr schöner gemütlicher Pub, nettes Personal. Leider auch sehr viel Betrieb. Wir hätten gerne öfters dort gegessen, haben es aber zu "normalen" Uhrzeiten nicht geschafft einen Tisch im Restaurant zu reservieren. Am letzten Abend haben wir nur noch einen kleinen Tisch direkt am Eingang des Pubs bekommen. Das Essen jedoch war super lecker!!

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war leider recht klein und für unser Gepäck (auf zweiwöchiger Rundreise durch Schottland, nicht gerade wenig) war wenig Platz. Dafür war die Aussicht aus dem Fenster direkt auf das Meer schön.

We had a fantastic stay and recommend it.
Pros:

The staff are friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable and ambient. The restaurant and food was great, as was the hotel bar, with Scott the bartender freely sharing his vast knowledge on whiskey. The hotel has wonderful views of Loch Indaal and is in a great location, car parking was easy too, right outside it.

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike.

Stunning views, friendliest staff and best meal on the island!
Pros:

The location and views and on location restaurant can’t be beat! The rooms were comfortable and good space for us even with extra luggage and an infant bed!

Cons:

The shower in our room wasn’t enclosed so water got on the bathroom floor.
