Una estancia muy acogedora
Pros:

Es una casona grande con sabor antiguo, con pocas habitaciones, muy bien gestionada por su propietaria, con una atención magnífica, cercana y familiar. Ese hotel familiar al que te gusta volver después de un día largo de turismo por la zona. Sin lujos pero confortable y muy agradable. Las cenas muy ricas y los desayunos estupendos, muy completos. Las habitaciones grandes y cómodas, los baños suficientes. El saloncito para cenar con la chimenea encendida si hace frío fuera. Llegar hasta Carradale requiere un pequeño esfuerzo porque la carretera es “escocesamente” estrecha y te toma 35/40’ llegar, pero las vistas al mar y a la isla de Arran durante el recorrido y la llegada al confort del hotel Carradale con todo preparado para un fin de día con cena y sobremesa sin prisas con amigos bien lo merecen.

Cons:

Pues hay que planificar las horas para las cenas y los desayunos y pre-ordenar el menú de las cenas, pero también entiendo que el negocio es pequeño y familiar y les viene muy bien planificar para atenderte mejor.

This was a hugely disappointing stay. Poor customer care, food and dilapidated accommodation.
Pros:

Not much, to be honest. Food was average at best. The accommodation was extremely dilapidated. We didn’t feel welcomed. Catering is, at its basic requirement, about looking after customers. This place doesn’t even begin to match this aspiration.

Cons:

No heating in room. No hot water, other than electric shower.
Evening meals were very poor quality. No choices available. We were made to eat in the Bar, in spite of protests. Everything to suit the owner!
No clothes drying facilities - in spite of location in one of the wettest parts of Scotland.
We were discouraged on 3 occasions from taking breakfast in the hotel. Clearly, the owners preferred not to get up early.
The accommodation was dilapidated - well past its prime, and not as shown on the particulars of the hotel. Noisy plumbing, no hot water, lights not working, and inadequate socket provision. I wasn’t able to shave!
We didn’t feel valued and were made to feel very uncomfortable. We arrived and nobody offered to help us with our luggage - a basic courtesy. We left after 2 days of our week’s stay, losing a huge amount of money, but so glad to escape this unpleasant environment. Summer holidays are precious and hard earned in these hard times. This hotel is not as presented in the glowing customer reviews, making me extremely suspicious of their true source. Please look into this, to prevent others being duped as we were.

Pros:

The friendliness and helpfulness was great, they couldn't be more accommodating. Made us food outwith times, gave us a fan when it was so hot in the rooms. The towels were great. They recommended other places to visit. Recommended and booked the boathouse in Gigha for us, we'd definitely go back.

Cons:

The photos of the the place need to be updated, had I seen more recent photos I would NEVER had stayed there.
Booking .com needs to keep up to-date with what they advertise. Its very tired and run down.
