The building itself is impressive, set on the seafront behind a charming garden. The public rooms are appealing, and our family room was clean and comfortable. Like many hotels of its age, it feels a little dated, but the price is excellent and the staff are genuinely lovely. Breakfast was very good, though the evening menu was limited. The Isle of Bute is stunning, but clearly geared toward day visitors—plenty of cafés open during the day, but few options for eating out in the evening, leaving the hotel as the main choice. If you like mashed potato, you’ll be delighted; children will be equally well supplied with chips. The menu is small, the food competently prepared, but the style feels stuck in 1985. The venison casserole was enjoyable, but much else was rather beige. The risotto, however, was frankly poor—an oily, garlicky muddle of rice with thick slabs of melted Parmesan and a token rocket garnish. The hotel has both a formal dining room and more relaxed bar dining, which would be perfect for separate menus—one more traditional, the other lighter and more contemporary, with an emphasis on salads, seafood, and modern cooking.
