The room was immaculate, and the balcony was a bonus! The view was amazing!! We found the room a bit hard to find at first but soon got our bearings right!

The property far surpassed our expectations. I wouldn't have changed a thing which my husband says is high praise indeed. It was pet friendly, relaxing and just what was needed. I loved that the spa products were used in hotel and you could purchase also. I tried them and they were an amazing treat. We also visited the spa and used the thermal suite ...excellent.

Lovely room, really big and a large comfy bed. What more do you need?… maybe a few more gluten free options at breakfast would be good, there was nothing on the buffet I could eat. But I did get a cooked breakfast that was nice.

From the outside, the hotel would be more in keeping in Cornwall than the rugged west coast of Scotland. My welcome was sadly half hearted and disinterested but my room was well appointed and comfortable. However, the restaurant is trying to be something that it isn’t. It was suggested that I take a seat on a sofa in the bar area and someone would take a drinks order. After 15 minutes, patience ran out! I didn’t fancy a starter and thought a small dish of olives would suffice. The cheapest, nastiest olives I’ve seen or tasted for a long time. No stick to eat them with and after enquiring, a plastic toothpick was the best on offer! My fish pie was good but glazed carrots are just the wrong vegetable. The charming waitress was overly busy whilst her colleague, in an inappropriately short skirt, propped up the kitchen pass chatting to the duty manager/restaurant manager who was equally ineffectual and lacking in observation. Some good ideas but shock application. I wouldn’t return.

Lovely hotel for our overnight stay, staff very friendly. Restaurant was very good for our evening meal with a comprehensive menu. Only slight downside was they were doing some groundwork at the rear and side of the property so it was a little noisy early in the morning.

Lovely seaside location with great views towards Aran. Our room was large with a great big comfortable bed and a fab bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and rainfall shower over it. The bar and restaurant are also lovely with good selection of food for dinner and breakfast, both of which we enjoyed..

My room was meant to be a deluxe room with side sea view. Ripped and stained curtains do not say deluxe. View of the workmen doing the building works and woken by them at 7am is not deluxe. A shocking breakfast with such a poor selection is also not deluxe. I complained when I checked out, male manager approached me without introducing himself as the hotel manager, I had to ask Sorry who are you for him to then introduce himself. I showed him the curtains and discussed my complaint and that it was not worth what I had paid. I mentioned a local competitor who has bought a hotel close by and that their all over standards were so much better. He replied that he had been there recently and service was awful. Again not a professional reply. He apologised profusely and agreed with my complaints. I again reiterated the cost of the room, his way of compensating is giving me his email and to email him when I’m next in the area. In hindsight I should have pushed further for some kind of refund. I drove past last week and the ongoing works at the hotel certainly don’t make me want to rush back, they make the hotel look rundown. Shame, previous stay was great but I will continue on the road next time to its competitor up the road.
