Good value for money hotel, met all our needs, in a stunning location.
Pros:

Beautiful location, wholesome and down to earth hotel with friendly staff. This is a fabulous area, off the main tourist track and the hotel was ideally situated to explore Loch Shiel, the Ardnamurchan peninsula as a whole and for access to Mull. Nice bar used by locals so good opportunity to meet people. Decent evening meals and breakfast.

Cons:

Some aspects a bit outdated but overall extremely good VFM for peak season.

Ok stop off
Pros:

The area was nice.
Waitress at breakfast was sweet

Cons:

Room we were in had a very slopey floor, hence making the bed slopey too.
A very quick welcome and not able to spend the time with us.
Could hear the bar below.

Hmmm
Pros:

De mensen zijn vriendelijk en het cafe is in de buurt

Cons:

De kamers zijn boven een cafe en de muziek speelde keihard tot 1.30 in de nacht.
De kamers zijn verouderd en de gordijnen vallen uit het plafond.het ontbijt is verschrikkelijk en het avondeten is niet vers en niet huisgemaakt, friteuse is de kok!
