Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. The location was convenient, and the room was clean and comfortable. However, the double bed was not very comfortable, and the price could have been better.
The hotel sits on a beautiful island and provides a free lift from the airport, making it a lovely surprise for a short break. The rooms offer a great view but could use comfier double beds. The staff is accommodating and the Cal Mac ferry service is very helpful.
The hotel is located on a remote Hebridean island, offering a cosy island experience. The rooms vary, with some featuring a king-size bed while others have a not very comfortable double bed. The service is efficient, with rates considered value for money. The dining is satisfactory with a focus on seafood. The facilities are adequate for a pleasant stay.
