Hands down my favorite hotel during my trip. On the day of my check-in, I made dinner reservations and unfortunately I ran into car trouble so I was going to miss dinner hours by 20 minutes. Immediately when I got to check in, they offered to make me a plate even though the kitchen was closed. 10/10 hotel! I’ll be visiting again

Hotel with amazing views

Amazing views from restaurant. Bar slightly unusual to have a shop at one side. It didn’t feel overly cozy. Room was comfortable and in good condition. Big choice and selection in menu for dinner in restaurant. We enjoyed our dinner but we’d had more enjoyable meals in smaller venues. The hotel was busy at dinner time. The staff were always polite and professional. Overall it was a nice stay,but had an atmosphere that meant I didn’t really feel relaxed somehow.

Only odd thing was the water in the bathroom runs a tea colour. Although its clean... makes for an odd bath.

Food in the restaurant was lovely. We liked that you can mix and match from main and bistro menu.

We booked specifically for an overnight stay so we would be relatively close to attend a wonderful concert at Kilmelford Village Hall ,approx a 10 minutes drive away . We've had a very busy schedule recently and the hotel and tranquil peaceful surrounds and lovely views across the bay , was just what we needed. We were lucky the sun shone and we were able to spend a blissful hour or two after checking in ,sitting out on the patio with a nice cup of tea and cake.
We weren't able to dine unfortunately as the evening menu started too late for us to attend the concert but we did have a very tasty breakfast the next morning with local sea trout being on offer as well as a good choice of other items . The hotel itself has a lovely relaxed ambiance and all the staff are friendly and helpful . We had been before and stayed in one of the chalet rooms but this was our first time staying in the hotel itself .Last time we visited the lovely adjoining gardens of Arduaine .
We will definitely return and stay for longer .

Expected it to be good but was AMAZED!!

We stayed for 2 nights. On arrival, the reception staff were extremely welcoming and friendly.

We went to our room which was a king-size sea view. The view is even better than any picture will have you believe. Breathtaking. Loved having a little balcony with comfortable chairs and just enjoying the view and silence.

The room was spotless. On the 2nd day, the cleaners chapped the door and asked if we wanted anything cleaned or if any of the tea/coffee/teacakes needed replenished. This was a nice thing to do.

The bed was massive and comfortable. The bedding itself was a great quality.

The shower was always hot and a good power too. Great shampoos etc in the room to try.

The grounds are well cared for and we enjoyed walks by the highland cows and down to the seafront.

The meals were all great. Portions are huge. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Breakfast was one of the best i’ve ever had and locally sourced.


Reception staff also gave some advice for a place to go a nice walk and we enjoyed a day out in Kilmartin as a result.

Overall, I cannot say a bad word or complain about any detail. Superb all round and we’ll be back at the earliest opportunity.

A great room in a fantastic location. Absolutely superb service by all the staff that we came across. We were, however, disappointed by the truncation of the menu - no beef/venison on the main menu - and we had been so looking forward to trying both. The staff told us that this was because the hotel was about to shut down for the winter. Such was the rest of our experience during this stay, we will be back next year, hopefully with beef and venison restored to the menu.

A destination in its own right.

Third time staying here. It’s a lovely place, all the staff are fantastic (there’s a lovely girl originally from Falkirk that was a good laugh and had great banter), the food is amazing (pay extra for the dinner package as the value is exceptional), the rooms are spacious and the beds are huge, the views are superb and the wildlife is right up close and personal.

My two gripes would be the service charges (just add a few pence to the drinks, the food or the room) and the lack of international lager on tap, the Loch Melfort lager (just call it Tennents) is passable but something else would have suited me personally, the other half had the choice of about 30 gins and she was chuffed to bit so I was happy. Neither of these will stop us returning and we’ll be back soon.

Thank you to all the staff, the owners should be extremely proud.
