Great spot on the way to Campbeltown. Bed was comfy and great size bathroom. Food in the evening was difficult as lots of places were full, but would stay again.

Nice place to stay

Nice place situated close to Campbeltown, overall it was a good stay for the price paid. Room was spacious enough with all necessities. Bed not too comfortable and very short with my feet hanging off and I’m only 5ft 10. Picked up keys from shop downstairs and service was great and welcoming

The room was nicely decorated, was fitted with amenities most hotels overlook today. Face clothes, luggage benches, ample clothes hangers just to name a few. Friendly helpful staff. Overall it is a good place to stay. Only drawback was the limited dining options nearby.

Lovely place. Excellent rooms, very clean and well kept. Staff helpful, breakfast choices fine, and who could object to b’fast outdoors on a sunny morning. My only tiny cavil is that a couple of sugar free cereal choices, like well made messily, would be helpful. We’d stay there again like a shot!

Overall our 1 night stay was excellent. Very comfortable bed, excellent shower. As I know this property before it was refurbished I think it has been extremely well done.The complimentary tea and coffee on arrival is a nice touch. I have one minor complaint and that is the strength of coffee,it was really weak.

Exceptional, warm & inviting. A+++

I had a delightful experience during my stay. The apartment was charming, featuring a self-contained kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom, all impeccably clean and warmly decorated. If I find myself in the area again, I will definitely prioritize booking a room here. The host was exceptionally friendly and hospitable, offering helpful recommendations for nearby dining options. My only regret was not having had the time to visit the adjacent shop and café.
