Nice room, mostly nice people
Room was lovely, great view from hotel, a little unfortunate that room was above smoking area so room smelt a little bit in the evening. Staff were kind apart from one who we unfortunately had to deal with at dinner and at check out.

Fantastic and amazing value for money
Brilliant stay and we look forward to staying again - and have already recommended to family. Rooms large, warm, comfortable and quiet. Views over Lamlash are amazing. The lady who runs the hotel was so incredibly helpful, coffees in the room in the morning, helping with electric car charger - nothing was too much and met with a smile. Breakfast was AMAZING too!

Very nice hotel that feels like home. A bit in need of refurbishment, however, this tiny tint of time makes the place somewhat special. Fantastic breakfast, absolutely brilliant staff.
