Staff was very nice and the location/view was great. Only critique is the property is very tired looking and the lift was broken, which I can understand but it looked like it had been for some time.

Beautiful view of the harbour located near the main road into town and very near Castle Dunollie,The rooms were clean and modern with vaulted celings and very comfortable beds however the elevator was abit clostrophobic, i would also encourage any Management reading to adjust the door tensioners so they close properly behind the guests and maybe look at the window fixings but break fast was great, haggis included and all staff friendly and hospitable, the parking was abit tight but found public car park close by next to very friendly small pub with live music which stayed open late,in all a lovely old building in a great location with friendly staff,thank you for your service

Although hotel is a little tired in decor, it was perfect for our stay. We had a large, warm, sea view room which was great to watch ferries in and out. Great breakfast, hot and a good variety. Nice lounge to sit in evening overlooking port. Staff friendly. For us - a great stay and would return again.

Check-in was a bit chaotic. We arrived 20 minutes early and were asked to wait in the bar while our room was finished off. So far so good, but there was a change of staff and apparently they forgotvabout they forgot about us

Overall good stay but I booked a sea view room and wasn’t informed that this view would be obstructed with scaffolding.. however didn’t spoil our stay too much.. just the photos. Food was generally good although wasn’t offered drinks with meal, just given water.. we could have asked to be honest however I just assumed it is normal to be asked about drinks. Other than these small issues that wouldn’t stop me returning, the hotel is perfectly located with good views and close to all amenities.
