Reviewed Sep 19, 2026Run by some wonderful humans. Great location, gorgeous views and deelish dinner from the restaurant. It was also a very short walk to Tarbert Castle which was beautiful!
The bathrooms could use a little freshen up and the bed was a little small and noisy. Other than that loved our little stay.

Reviewed Sep 18, 2026The location was great. The breakfast was solid.
The bathrooms need updating. The amount of rust on the towel warmer and mildew on the shower, not to mention size of the shower was super uncomfortable. The carpet in the room was gross. The hotel smelled like old fish. This place could be super cute and charge way more with some simple updates.

Reviewed Jun 7, 2026Excellent dinner, good selection of gluten free dishes for one of the party.
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.

Reviewed May 21, 2026Our 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.

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

A nearby general store (COOP ?) and post office. Ferry was not too far away.
