Stopped for a quick lunch en route to the ferry. A very warm welcome with fires lit in the bar. Soup and sandwiches the order of the day were all very nice and we were even offered a box for the unfinished ones. This is a place where we could easily have settled in for the afternoon (the loung looked equally inviting) but ferries don't wait that long. Thank you for the lovely but short visit to your hotel.

This smallish hotel has a super location right on the coast with great views across the water. We had a good room with a comfy king size bed and a lovely modern bathroom. It was clean, characterful and well presented with everything you need including free wifi. We arrived at a very busy time (island distilleries open days festival week) but the staff remained helpful, welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant which was enjoyable but rather pricy and the seafood was largely overcooked (scallops, halibut). However it was exceptionally hectic so we made exceptions. The excellent skin-on chips with the battered haddock were a joy! Breakfast was also served in the restaurant offering plenty of choice and inviting hot options. Enjoyed our comfortable stay.

Lovely wee pub, didn't stay, visited several times. Nice bar, very friendly, especially on music session nights, great Scottish music from fiddles, flutes, guitar, cello. Only one real ale, not my taste. The whisky collection was extensive to say the least. Bar staff including 'Uncle Fester' were great, apart from the Fugly cross eyed barmaid, who thought she was aloof of us mere mortals and the maitre d who constantly asked if you were eating. Food prices were high, but average for the area. 4 stars for the music and friendly locals!

I dont really write reviews but i had to on this occasion. Me and my partner popped in for a drink during the week and was looked after by the wonderful kenny happy go lucky and very knowledgable about islay and gave us some tips on were to go. We enjoyed it that we went back for another drink later in the day only to be greeted by the most miserable bar person colin. It is like he doesnt want to be there. Very negitive attitude, no smile and swearing Safe to say we never finished our drinks . You have a real aset in kenny great for the hotel.

An absolute GEM of a hotel, positioned on the edge of the rocky, sandy shore with spectacular views across the loch to the Paps of Jura. We were a little apprehensive as all the rooms are billed as 'dog friendly' but the extremely comfortable room was immaculate and smelled beautiful and clean. In fact the whole hotel was kept extremely clean. Kudos to the housekeeping team! The atmosphere in the cozy traditional bar was spot on. Lively and fun without being overbearing. The staff could not be any friendlier; they're so welcoming and nothing too much trouble. As for the food...oh MY! If I could have smuggled their talented chef out in my suitcase, I would. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful and dinner was the stuff of dreams. Dinner is a total MUST DO. Imaginative meal choices, beautifully presented and definitely something a bit different. The lovely Lorna recommended the saffron rice pudding with cinnamon sugar and Arran ice cream. One of the tastiest puddings we've ever had. Hopefully we will return to spectacular Islay and if we do, here is where we will stay. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic hospitality, a warm welcome, delicious food and very comfy rooms. Also enjoyed a paddle on the lovely beach in front of the hotel. Staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, we would not hesitate to book again.

We had a bar lunch and also an evening meal in the dining room (on separate days!). We were warmly welcomed on both days by Lorna and the team - Lorna is a terriffic manager who clearly understand true hospitality and therefore so does the team. The menu was interesting, with many points of difference and everything we tried - really flavoursome. Delightful experience on both days.
