On our way from Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye, it was the perfect stop. The restaurant was cozy, the food good, and the live music in the cozy bar was a huge bonus! Band members even took the time to chat when they wrapped up just before 9 p.m. Parking was free and convenient (a little tricky to find; it's tucked close to the building and not marked). The bed and bedding was comfortable and it was very quiet at night. It has historic character, also a bonus. Loved it! ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Vincent 23 Jul 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The people are really nice there and great to talk to.

For us the fact that the manager spoke French was also a plus. Negative: sound proofing needs to be improved, very noisy showers in adjacent room ( woke us up at 6.10 am), some dirty chairs in the dining room. ##### Philippe Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne 11 May 2025 Had a lovely stay steak pie was first class ##### Anne Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ericka 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities On arrival we went to the bar as no one was at the check in desk, we spoke to staff at the bar about checking in, and from that moment we arrived until we left the staff were so friendly, helpful and accomodating. I did notice there werent many staff around and at times they were doing multiple jobs. Food was really good we ate dinner in the bar the first night and we had a good breakfast included in our room rate in the morning. The room was nice, comfortable beds, warm, we had a good shower and a beautiful little private patio area. The hotel itself is a little run down in areas but has amazing potential, the room could be a little cleaner but we had a really nice stay. It was excellent value for money and the staff really make the place! The hotel atmosphere is very chilled which is lovely! ##### Ericka Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David 9 May 2025 Spectacular location, perfect for a stop-over.

Nice breakfast ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Omar 26 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The bed was clean and comfortable and the lady in the bar was friendly but everything else was so awful that I was very glad to leave. Shortly after arrival I complained to the manager that the shower ran unbearably hot, even on the coldest setting and that the curtians were hanging down due to multiple missing hooks. Neither complaint was rectified during my 3 night stay. I then noticed that the bedroom carpet was filthy and the ceiling and walls covered in dustwebs. The large televison probably didnt need its wall bracket as there were so many webs attaching it to the wall, both at the back, top and sides. The carpet appeared as if it had never experienced a vacuum clean - the room corners and edges less so. Bits of nail clippings and other dirt clearly visible. Spider web in corners, dead flies attached to the curtains and this was a 'superior'room! Public areas such as the dining room and bar looked lovely. Shame about the breakfast. Buffet items were old, same open bowel of yoghurt out day after day, fruit rotting, apple juice looking darker by the day. A good choice is offered for cooked breakfast but only if you are NOT a vegitarian. Zero effort to offer anything veggy!. You got the impression that everything was about making less work for staff rather than looking after their customers. Very sad as this place could be so good with just a little TLC. I took pictures of the bedroom showing the filth but I got the impression that the manager isnt bothered. ##### Omar Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sadegh 16 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clean and comfy place ##### sadegh Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stewart 8 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very basic accommodation but quite close to Oban. There were only 4 guests when I was there. It felt a bit run down, no Wi-Fi, chef off work, no room cleaning each day etc. I think there was only 2 staff in the building all day ##### Stewart Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information)
