The hotel is beautiful and very comfortable. However, I wish the staff told us during checkin that breakfast was included. We also had the room serviced on day 1, but not day 2. And the room lock malfunctioned on day 2, meaning one of us had to always be in the room.

it’s a nice boutique hotel but the rooms are cozy and not too bad. Also, the hotel is very close to the airport but middle of nowhere. If you have to take a taxi service to Bowmore, which is the town center, for meals, It will cost 40 poundsround-trip. The hotel has a restaurant on site but sort of limited menu if you have any kind of meal restrictions or limitations. It is also close to a beach and has a golf course. The beach is beautiful and such a nice walk from the hotel.
