The owners did a pretty good job at renovating this place though some upgrades would help improve the quality. There was some damage on the wall behind the door and some of the shower surround wasn't properly fitted. However, the mattress was awesome, staff were absolutely impeccable, and the food was tremendous--some of the best we've had throughout Scotland. Would absolutely recommend.

A scenic and homely stay

We stayed in the cottage which was so lovely and clean. Staff are super friendly and attentive. There’s a wide range for breakfast and the dinners are incredible. Beautiful views around the hotel and for miles, perfect for doggies as there are plenty of beaches and walks no matter where you turn

An absolute gem

We picked this hotel at the last minute due to a change of plans - still can't believe our luck that they had a room available! Staff were so helpful & friendly. Food & other facilities faultless. The sea view from our room & the dining room was something we will always remember fondly.

Fabulous hotel, beautiful area and place to stay. Staff were warm welcoming and friendly. Enjoyed some fantastic food, dinner and breakfast. Bar prices are good too. Rooms are very clean and modern, only downside for us was the room was hot, only a small window and no fan but that’ said we had a great stay and would recommend.
