"Had a 2 night stay here in May. The hotel is a few minutes walk from ferry terminal. The check in was easy and I was shown to my room. The staff were all friendly and acted in a professional manner. The restuarant was pleasant and the food good. as was the breakfast. The only complaint I had was that the toilet had not been flushed properly after the previous occupant had used it."

"Absolutely love our stay. The services are top. We really enjoyed the spa, lounge and breakfast. Our go for when visiting Mull."

"This was a clean and welcoming hostel on the whole but it has a slightly passive aggressive over use of notices. I arrived late (which they were accommodating about). The next morning i made sure to strip my bed and check out by 10 in compliance with the emails I got. i started to make breakfast and suddenly I was breezily told the kitchen was closed for cleaning from 10 to 5 and this was in the emails I received. I had not received emails to say this! this is ridiculous and very unwelcoming. I have not had this experience in yHA. the kitchen was spotless already and didn’t require closing for 7 hours unless you want to get rid of guests. the sitting room was very musty and I have concerns about damp in the building and inadequate ventilation"

"A beautiful place to stay, but spoiled for us the first night by a very overpowering group of pilgrims who were very loud and brash and dominated the restaurant and the lounge areas. We had room 1 and in hindsight we should have booked a larger room. The door to the en suite was not nearly opaque enough. Only book that room with someone you know really well! The wash hand basin was a joke. I defy anyone to clean their teeth without banging their forehead or nose on it. Whoever installed it never used it! But the staff were wonderful and a real asset to the hotel. Thank you."

"We loved everything. The staff, the food, the decor, the views. We booked an additional night as the bed was so comfy and the people so friendly."

"Had dinner here when staying in the area, was very busy so would definitely recommend booking. Varied menu, good sized portions and tasty food. Staff were friendly."

"Comfortable hotel on Islay but a bit out of the way for anything. Golf course and beach are available but for whisky focused visits, better off to be at Bowmore or Port Ellen"

"It had everything we needed. Very quiet, great customer service especially in the restaurant/pub area. Friendly staff."

"Lovely location in Ardfern. Great variety of quality food. Good choice of ales. Really friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable, well appointed rooms. A great place for stopping, or as a base for exploring Argyll. Beautiful surrounding area."
