    Great location in Tarbert in a modernised building.

    Being elderly, the 32 steps it took to get to our room struggling to carry 2 heavy suitcases as well. We did not notice any warning of this at the time of booking & would probably have chosen a different type of room had we know !

    The excellent location. Free parking in street opposite the building or plenty of places close by. Its cleanliness, room facilities( twin room in loft area), view of the harbour from side window. Small breakfast delivered to room on tray in the morning- previously having completed an order form on arrival & leaving it outside bedroom door. Proprietor assisted us with carrying our 2 suitcases down to the hallway prior to us leaving.

    Excellent, well-situated accommodation, but that’s as far as it goes.

    Breakfast (delivered to room) pretty ordinary. Minimal contact with owners, as it is managed remotely, and no room servicing during stay or replenishment of tea, coffee, milk (and needed some facilities for washing up in these circumstances). It has more of a feel of self-catering accommodation rather than a guest house; we didn’t feel that the owners wanted much to do with their clients.

    An excellent and spacious room, with sitting area as well as bedroom and a great view over the loch/harbour at Tarbert. Very clean and well furnished. Good bolt hole in rainy weather!

    No real complaints. Offering two small bottles of wine were a nice touch but a Shiraz from Spain was perhaps doomed to please.

    Perfect location for an overnight stay before catching the ferry at Kennacraig. Spacious comfortable room.

    The stairs up to the room. However I don’t think they were insurmountable but could be a challenge for some visitors.

    It was well appointed and cleverly maximised the comfort and facilities by good design and choice of decorations.

    Breakfast is served in your room, which was fine, I prefer a breakfast room, but this in no way spoiled our stay

    This is a very well run house.

    A lot of traffic noise. It would have been nice to have some personal contact, but the remote system did seem to work well.

    Excellent location by harbourside. Simple breakfast delivered to room at time requested. Decor was fun.

    Lock on the bathroom door is a little finicky

    Alan was great, I arrived in the evening and he was quick to get me setup. Breakfast was nice and delivered to the room, room itself was perfect for someone travelling solo. Right at the start of the Kintyre 66 so it really is a great base of operations.

    Check-out at 10am on a Sunday morning was a bit harsh… however all fed and watered by a fine breakfast delivered to the bedroom door.

    Nothing at all. X

    The comfy beds,the cute attic room in eaves of the house. The hotel was very tastefully decorated ( & I do love elephants,so maybe I'm biased) The breakfast was lovely,and views over the harbour from our room were great( even when Storm Babet was raging!!). A beautiful place that we would definitely return to. Keep up the great work. X
