Everything about this B and B is perfect. Andrew and Ian put in such an effort to keep the place beautiful, clean, and welcoming. The kind welome I received with a lovely cup of tea after a long journey was much appreciated. The dogs are lovely and being shown the garden and having the wonderful view of the loch from my window was wonderful. This was my favourite place I stayed at during my 10-day trip and I would come back in a heartbeat. The bed is so comfy and no expense has been spared in making the room modern and snug. I could have just stayed in my beautiful room (single room with a view-but there is a double bed that is brand new!) and watched tv under the lovely spotlights for the whole weekend. I loved it! Really close to Kennacraig ferry, so good base for Islay and Jura etc. Also, parking is free in right in front of the hotel. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Company info

I have been running the Moorings B&B for going on 40 years and go above and beyond for my guests. I take pride in welcoming my guests into my home and making it their home from home for their stay. After a comfortable nights sleep you can relax in the lounge and enjoy a full Scottish breakfast if desired in front of the new log fire, whilst enjoying views of Loch Fyne. Guests have been known to enjoy wandering the garden and discovering some of the more unusual yet delightful ornaments and sculptures on display in the garden. With lots of wildlife and a family of Swallows that return every year to nest in the porch it can be an ornithologists delight. Spring can be magical at the Moorings. I live within the Moorings with my 3 bearded collies who are rather lively but very friendly. The dogs are allowed into my private area however are not permitted up the stairs to the guest accommodation. You may however encounter them in the garden so if you are uncomfortable with dogs perhaps this is not the place for you. I have lived locally all my life and have good local knowledge so dont be afraid to ask questions as I will be more than happy to help if I can.
