I want to start by saying that the staff at this hotel are excellent. The hotel itself is another story. We were originally assigned room 26, and all I can say is if you are given this room, ask for another. I should point out that I do have mobility issues, and certainly this made the problem worse, however the floors are so uneven in this room that it was almost impossible for me to walk without tripping. There is a huge dip in the floor in front of the sink, and a really awkward step to get out of the shower. There is a small sitting area when you walk in, but then an additional flight of stairs to get to the bedrooms. The 'decor' of this room felt like something out of a horror movie, but that is another story entirely. To the credit of the staff, when I asked to be moved for our second night, they were very accommodating and offered us another room with 'nice flat floors'. That room was 100 times better, and had been renovated, but still nothing special. I only saw these 2 rooms, so can not comment on any others, but I feel, especially room 26 should not be rented out until it has been renovated. Overall, I feel this hotel was very overpriced for what we got. I do feel bad leaving this review because, as I said, the staff are excellent, but we booked based on the positive reviews of other travellers, and I just did not have the same experience. We stayed in several hotels on our holiday, and unfortunately this was the worst one. I can not recommend this hotel.

Great hotel, spacious suite. Clean and looked after. The suite gave added bonus of extra space and kitchen facilities. Beautiful views across the bay. On-site parking and bar / restaurant. Plentiful breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. Does have stairs to the rooms, perhaps not ideal if have mobility issues but all round a great hotel for location and price. Highly recommend

It’s an interesting and quirky place, it’s dated in decor etc so don’t get too excited if you are given a suite. Staff were trying their best and seemed new to the industry and hopefully in time they will get the service and service times to a better standard. Unfortunately the morning shower was a no go as there was no hot water, mustn’t of got up early enough!!!! Normally I would bring this up at the time but I did feel for the staff who seemed rushed off their feet at a time

The staff were brilliant although he kept telling us and everyone else he was the only one in running the hotel and the bar. Our room was freezing cold and it felt like the heating had not been on in days, The main external wall was really wet and damp, this would have not been an issue had the heating been used. There were no instructions on how to heat up the room so we used google. Once the room heated up it was fine and no issue, also the following morning the damp had then dried up.

Gaifloch stay 14th June 2025

Before we were even in the door, therecwax a notice advising people that no meals to be taken to rooms, as previous customers had left a mess! The suite was perfectly good...but kitchen area had 2 mugs..one chipped, 2 teaspoons, a kettle that wouldnt switch off, and no teatowels or basic cutlery. Bathroom fine, but toilet seat, too small and extreme wobbly!
The meal at night, and the breakfast were excellent. The staff seemed to consist of 3 girls, who were obviously multitasking...i take my hat off to them, they were extremely professional!

We stayed two nights at this hotel and it was a good place to stay. The parking lot is limited but the hotel is not too big so I don't think that will be an issue. It's located right across the way from the ocean so it has nice views. We really enjoyed the attached pub. The food was decent. The room was on the small side but had everything that you need. Overall, a good hotel to stay at!

I book this property in reviews and probably my own fault, but arrived early to checkin and was greated with we don’t check in until 3.45pm. Asked is bar open and response was not until 5pm. Asked where could we go in meantime as it was cold and rainy and he suggested lunch at another place. Having lunch thought about it and actually did not stay and instead drove 4.5hrs to Oban to find a nice place and room.
Would suggest that the hotel is run by tired people and could not recommend this based on my experience.

May have been good in the 1950’s

Privately owned hotels are struggling, and it showed.
Bed - VERY POOR QUALITY - ALSO TOO SMALL.
Hotel - Needs to be smashed down and rebuilt, it’s WAY past it’s sell by date.

The only upto date item about the hotel, the price it charges per night - 150 pounds for a couple. It’s not worth half the money.

Will definitely be back on the NC500 route, Scotland is beautiful, so beautiful it HAS to be seen.

Use branded hotels they have the money and the infrastructure to offer you, what you will pay for.
The privately owned ones don’t have the money backing behind them, and they think they are better than they really are. Sorry but true, rather sleep in your car, I’m not joking.
