The location suited me perfectly. All local transport was within very easy reach. the staff were helpful with directions, and they provided useful local information. the building had a nice exterior, and i thought it looked well maintained.
The uht milk sachets in my room had a 'use by' date that was quite old. They made my morning coffee lumpy, and i had no internet access.

acceptable stay, some minor issues
central locationrude staff
The hotel's location was central. Everything i needed was quite handy.
the night staff seemed rather rude to me. they told my family we could not bring any outside food or liquids into the building. i find that quite ridiculous, considering we had fridges in the rooms.

FANTASTIC seaside stay!
harbour fronthelpful staffodd sign
The hotel sits right on the harbour front. I walked easily to the ferry and train stations! The staff were kind and helpful. The building was well maintained AND beautiful.
The signs about using personal food and drink were a little ODD. This was despite no facilities being provided, except tea and coffee making.
Facilities
8/10
The hotel offers COMFORTABLE beds and a quiet room. The room itself was large and clean. A REALLY positive aspect was the provision of tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
Dining

Breakfast was available. However. It MAY not have been fully explained upon arrival. The breakfast cost £19.00 per person. This potentially deters guests from experiencing the morning meal.
Location
10/10
The hotel is in an EXCELLENT location. You can easily walk everywhere. Popping back to your room to pick something up or drop off a purchase.

Central Stay with Island Views
ferry terminalisland viewsnice teaswarm welcome
I found the location excellent, steps away from the ferry terminal. My room featured views of the nearby islands. It was quite picturesque. I appreciated the selection of teas available. The owner gave me a warm welcome at check-in.
The room size felt somewhat small for a double. It was adequate but compact.
Location

The hotel is superbly located, a short walk to the railway station. The ferry pier is also nearby. Several shops and restaurants are within easy reach of the building.
Dining

A nice selection of teas is available. I understand the marvelous Scottish breakfast is meters from ferry, bus, taxi, and train. The hotel does not have an in-house restaurant for other meals.
Rooms

My room offered a view over to the islands. It was clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities were provided. This added convenience.
