A wonderful stay over before catching the Islay ferry next morning. We loved the common rooms and patios, with other guests ready to meet you and talk. The dining room is a beautiful hlassed-in room with a great view and food. LOVED the local mussels!
Our room was in the newer section, comfortable bed and roomy bath. Only complaint was that the bathtub plug wouldn't seal, so I couldn't take a bath.
The staff were so accomodating. We would definitely come back again!

Beautiful castle hotel, inside and out. Only suggestion I have would be to put a fan in each room during the summer, as you can’t open the windows due to the midgies and it gets quite warm when it’s 20° outside.

Definitely take a hike around the island. Stunning views!

We loved our stay. Clean and very large room with extra seating area and large bathroom. Very clean and the staff was so friendly and helpful. We walked the grounds and saw some seals swimming. We ordered an afternoon tea and had a little car trouble so we called to let them know we’d miss it and they packed up all the food for us to take with us the next day. So thoughtful. The bar and restaurant were great. The grounds and views are beautiful. It’s a little bit of a drive from anything else we’d planned to see in Scotland but worth it to slow down and enjoy the scenic grounds and castle. I highly recommend it. Stay at 2 nights to get the full benefit. One night isn’t enough to get the full castle away from it all feeling.

Loved the friendly staff and the hotel setting is stunning. . The breakfast was nice and tasty. The hotel room was comfortable with a fabulous view of loch fine from the window. We were in the area for a wedding and it proved difficult trying to secure transport back to the hotel from Tarbert the nearest town due to there being only one taxi car. As the hotel is 4 star, a shuttle bus for guests maybe an idea moving forward.

Plenty of food, but not presented as anything more than lunch at Grandma's house with dirty cups, mismatched dishes and food stuffed to overhanging off the plates. No one even asked if we wanted the prosecco.

The Stonefield Castle hotel has a peaceful, charming & relaxing feel. We have stayed many times. It's set in a beautiful location with fabulous views to loch Fyne & surrounded by mature gardens with lots of period charm. The staff are friendly, welcoming & attentive. The rooms are clean, tastefully decorated to mirror the hotel's family history & era.
The breakfast is excellent made with top local quality produce.
The bar is well stocked with a great choice for all tastes especially whiskies.
There are bars & restaurants in the town only a short drive away wirh an efficient local taxi service. The town has a warm friendly feel with lots to explore.

Lovely friendly hotel with great staff and best described as having \"old world charm\". If you want a slick, shiny, city hotel this may not be for you.

We stayed for one night, and overall it was a pleasant stay. Our room was clean & spacious, the staff was friendly, the public rooms were nice (drawing room, bar, etc), and the grounds surrounding the castle were gorgeous. Only complaint is that dinner was a disappointment with underwhelming food and very slow service/inattentive servers. Breakfast the following morning however was very enjoyable with attentive staff and delicious food! So it's possible we just caught an off night, but it did put a level of disappointment for an otherwise an enjoyable experience.

Last visit was our sixth visit to stonefield castle, we love this place because the dogs are so welcome and all the staff over the years have been great, we decided to go with the principle rooms this time as treat for family, nice rooms, well over priced for what you get, but that is the hotels story over the years its needed huge investment, rather than do that they have taken away the snooker room so its a bedroom, everywhere you go you see it still needs a huge investment, i guess its shareholders want their profit rather than spend to save a great building and gardens. However we will be back, stick to cheapest rooms we can get and will enjoy the wonderful food, accept the WiFi crashes the TV loses signal and just enjoy the wonderful tired old hotel and gardens with stunning views. If you rate the hotel as a 3 star then you wont be disappointed

Very interesting architecture. my room was quiet and comfortable with a wonderful shower, with a lovely view of the water. While we did not have time to have dinner there, a number of people were and we didn’t hear any noise from the dining room or any of the other guest. So truly a lovely experience and I wish we’d had more time to enjoy more of it.

A two night stay with breakfast and we did dinner too. Unfortunately the weather was quite humid and the room was very stuffy. In the absence of air conditioning, we opened the windows with little relief. This made it very difficult to sleep. It is probably more comfortable in the cooler weather. The staff were excellent. The room, bed, bathroom etc was very comfortable. The breakfast was ok; the evening meals were a bit better, but in my opinion not great value for money. Give the langoustines a miss - not worth the bother or the money. The kitchen was situated below our room and the staff played loud music from early in the morning which acted as a very early alarm. Maybe an idea to turn it down. Also, the TV offerings were about the worst I’ve come across in a hotel. Free to air was a mystery to find - all we wanted was a news channel. Summary; an historic old building, perhaps relying too heavily on its character and ambience.
