Stunning views and cozy atmosphere

I had a wonderful one-night stay in a Double Room with Sea View. The room was spacious and the view over the Kyles of Bute was breathtaking. The friendly staff made me feel right at home, and I enjoyed a delightful breakfast with fresh options. I wish I could have stayed longer to take in more of the beautiful surroundings.

Perfect location, amazing food.

The dining room felt cramped. adding table cloths for dinner could elevate the experience from a breakfast vibe to something more intimate. cleanliness issues stood out—crumpled duvet covers and a lack of hairdryers in the room seemed a bit below par. The breakfast service had a chaotic feel, with miscommunication about the menu items, which might frustrate those looking for a smooth start to their day.

great views but a few missed details

The sea view from our room was truly impressive and added a special touch to our stay. The staff provided personalized service, ensuring we felt welcome and valued during our time there.

The breakfast could have had a wider selection for a better start to the day.

lovely setting but early checkout missed breakfast

The sea view from my room was breathtaking, making my stay special. The staff genuinely went the extra mile, feeling like a home away from home. The upgrade to a sea view room truly enhanced my experience.

Unfortunately, I had to leave super early, like 6am.

Must visit for couples seeking relaxation

The food was out of this world, especially the full Scottish breakfast cooked to perfection! The new owners were incredibly welcoming, and it felt like hanging out with old friends, not just staff.

It wasn't exactly a bargain, but still reasonable for what we got.

The double room with a sea view offered breathtaking vistas that enhanced the overall experience. Meals were of a remarkably high standard, showcasing organic vegetables and culinary finesse typically found in Michelin-listed establishments. the taps in the bathroom could pose challenges for those with hand disabilities, and I had to miss breakfast due to an early departure. Despite these minor inconveniences, the warmth of the staff made me feel at home within moments of arrival.

central spot for easy access to scenic walks and parks

We had such a relaxing stay with stunning sea views and friendly service from the new owners, making it the perfect spot to unwind while being a short stroll away from the beautiful Tighnabruaich Gallery and less than a 10-minute walk to Asgog Loch for those peaceful park vibes. however, the cleanliness could be improved, as the stairway seemed a bit dusty.

Room views feature stunning scenes of the surrounding landscape, making it a relaxing retreat. The Shinty Bar adds a local flavor and is perfect for unwinding with a drink after a long day.

Certain areas had cleanliness issues, with marks on carpets and unemptied bins in the bathroom. The ensuite water pressure was frustratingly low, akin to a trickle. breakfast lacked variety and quality, with poorly cooked items and misplaced utensils, which might not suit everyone’s taste. Some guests might appreciate the rustic charm but could perceive the dated decor as needing an upgrade.
