First of all, the good parts. This small inn has an excellent location just a short walk from the ferry terminal, with a stunning view in good weather across the Sound of Islay towards Jura. It is fascinating watching the coming and going of the ferries and fishing boats from the dining room window. I was greeted at reception by... More

Plain and v basic. second visit 2009 and 2011. 2009 was much nicer food all round, shame as we came back for the local food. please improve so we can return. More

Dirty beds - we found a hair in the bed, so clearly it had not been cleaned. The rooms were cold. And it was priced at a ridiculous level compared to what it offered.

Expensive, fat smell pervaded the restaurant, eastern european staff were friendly and tried, bar staff had negligible knowlege of whisky - on Islay. Rooms clean but dated. More

Yes, the hotel is dated but the rooms are comfortable and it is part of its charm. We spoke to most of the staff,who were helpful, even the chefs are... More

Catch of the day was Tuna Steak, Islay is an incredible island with many features however i find it hard to believe Tuna made it this far North and for a place to advertise "fresh, local seafood" they are having a laugh ! Handy for the ferry is... More

We spent two nights at the hotel during terrible weather, but its lovely location by the bay meant the worst of the gales passed us by.
