Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located, close to the Ferry terminal and in a quiet area. The rooms are spacious and modern, though the lounge area is not ideal. The service, especially from Lorna the manager, is exceptional. The dining experience with sliced tropical fruits is refreshing. However, the lack of pet amenities may deter some visitors.
This hotel is a gem! With a superb location close to the ferry terminal, you can easily unwind in the peaceful environment. Expect a welcoming garden and comfy rooms, but dining offerings could use a boost. Overall, it's a delightful stay with great value.
This hotel is a true gem in the heart of everything with a beautiful garden to enjoy. The rooms are spacious and modern, offering the perfect relaxing atmosphere. The service, led by the exceptional manager Lorna, is top-notch, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay. The dining experience is delightful with fresh vegetables straight from the garden. While the facilities are impressive, the price may not align perfectly with the value received, and the lack of some amenities could be seen as a downside.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was fantastic, close to the ferry terminal and right in the center of Islay, offering easy access to both cozy pubs and fancy restaurants. The rooms were spacious and modern, but the dining experience with limited Thai food options was a letdown. The service, especially thanks to Lorna the manager, was top-notch while the facilities were quite basic.
The hotel is at a convenient location close to the ferry terminal and offers pleasant dining experiences. The rooms are spacious and clean, but there were issues with the Wi-Fi service. The service provided, especially by the manager Lorna, was exceptional.
The hotel is perfectly situated near the ferry terminal, making it a convenient choice for travelers looking to unwind in a friendly island setting. The charming garden offers a lovely spot for a relaxing cup of coffee or tea. However, the rooms could benefit from more amenities and a sprucing up, and the European bread served at dining was a delightful touch.
