Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms, although a bit small for the price, were modern and cozy. I would definitely request a water view next time. The friendly and family-oriented atmosphere really stood out, and meeting Ceasar the dog was a delightful experience. I'll be back for sure!
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were small but modern, and I would opt for a water view next time. The friendly and family atmosphere was lovely, and meeting Ceasar the dog was a highlight. The bed was super comfy, though some areas need updating. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I look forward to returning!
The hotel is located in the pretty hamlet of Colintraive, on the banks of the Kyles of Bute, offering a lovely place to stay. The rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious, with friendly and helpful hosts, although they might be a bit overpriced. The dining options were a mix of delight and disappointment, with some amazing choices and some subpar dishes. The location is ideal for a restful stay and exploring the nearby islands.
