A homey Islay stay
Pros:

Location, friendly staff, great breakfast

Cons:

Single room was a little pricey, but accommodations on Islay are limited so it's close to 'market pricing'.

Great location
Pros:

The staff are kind, warm and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful, a great way to start the day. The pub next door is lots of fun too.

Cons:

It was a bit costly for the size of the room, but that's Islay, I guess!

Lovely staff but very overpriced.
Pros:

The staff at reception and bar were exceptional. Due to Calmac’s diverted sailing, the staff were incredible in understanding that we had to leave before breakfast but organised a packed lunch for us.

Cons:

The single room was small and the bathroom even smaller and the TV wouldn’t work. The price of the room was extortionate. No dinner available in the hotel was a further let down for the price paid.
