It's an attractive house in a beautiful location. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and there was a nice atmosphere. We had a tasty meal in the restaurant.

Susan United Kingdom

Valentina United Kingdom

Hubert United Kingdom

Meal in the evening was first class. Breakfast very good Room very nice with comfortable bed.

Gordon United Kingdom

We really loved the food- which we had Cullen skink and mussels. So fresh, as well as breakfast. beautiful spot near a little Loch and beer garden. perfect stay and would come back again.

Kristopher United Kingdom

Stunning location with fantastic views towards Loch Shiel and hills beyond. The hotel makes a superb base to explore the beautiful Ardnamurchan Peninsula, and even get onto Islay with the short ferry not too far away. The hotel has proper, old-style charm. Fantastic breakfast, large comfortable rooms with super-king bed. The top floor is a bit of a hike, but worth it for the fantastic views. I'm sure the staff would assist with bags if you are struggling. Beautiful breakfast room especially, but bar and dining room v pleasant too. Friendly, amenable staff. Quiet, cul-de-sac lane to the loch right by the side of the hotel makes a pleasant stroll where dogs can be relatively safely let off the lead.

This is a marvelous, old-style hotel. It just has a really nice feel, with warm and friendly, helpful staff. It is quite a trek up to the top floor if you have a lot of bags, but not a problem for us. We stayed in 2 different rooms, both of which were a decent size and well facilitated The hotel was pretty accommodating for our 2 dogs who were allowed to be with us for supper, but not for breakfast, which, by the way, was superb in their v nice dining room. (So the dogs stayed in the car, which was OK.) There is a small surcharge for the dogs. The gardens are v pleasant with superb views towards Loch Shiel. There is also a v quiet road down the side to the picturesque loch where the dogs can run with v little risk from cars; a v pleasant road for a morning or evening stroll. I would certainly be very happy to come back again: A lovely hotel in a lovely location.
