We had an unexpected trip change and needed a place for 1 night. Room 19 is terrible. The beds need to be replaced, you can hear everything outside, washroom is very tiny and no wifi. The restaurant on the other hands is very good and the staff are amazing. Recommend the restaurant but don’t stay in the rooms out back especially 19.

I often use this hotel when away with my work, on this occasion I was with my partner. Check in went smoothly as usual, we were allocated one of the new balcony rooms overlooking the spectacular Falls of Lora. The room has all the essentials that you may require with a good sized en-suite. We had a couple of beers outside in the sun as we took in the view, it’s right next to the road but the scenery more than makes up for it. Dinner was inside the bar, the food was excellent as always and we had a very reasonably priced bottle of wine to go with it from the small wine list that has most varietals so all tastes should be covered. Back to the room to watch the sunset over the bay. We both slept like logs on the comfy bed, not much in the way of road noise during the night.The only gripe is the emergency light that is in the room, it’s illuminated all night, not sure if that’s a new legal requirement. We both opted for the full Scottish breakfast in the morning which set us up for the day ahead. The staff and owners always provide an excellent service here and I will keep on coming back to this hotel.

We booked 2 nights thinking it would be a lovely 4 star hotel by the water with amazing seafood but were bitterly disappointed. It’s on the wrong side of a busy road and looks nothing like the pictures. I arrived with my 78 year old mom and 2 year old and met Peter who was the only nice part of the whole experience. The family room smelt of sewage, which we noticed after bringing up our cases and opening the bathroom. The room was tired looking. There was no way we could stay in there with the poo smell. Peter tried to accommodate and gave us a smaller ‘luxury’ double room which didn’t smell of sewage.it was too small for an extra bed so we put a mattress from a camping bed on the floor. Dinner was not great, Fish & chips were greasy, the linguini was more like slop, the wine was nice but expensive. The mattress was so uncomfortable my mother was lying on the floor and I was in pain. We got up and turned the mattress at 1am. It seemed marginally better but was not a double sided mattress. We got no sleep. Breakfast was so poor, eggs florentine was half a bagel with spinach that had sand in it. I complained to the owner and mentioned the sewage smell, she replied she had been upstairs an hour after we moved out and found no smell. I told her about the mattress, she said they were brand new. We ended up arguing and she offered a refund for 2nd night so I could leave. She said ‘it’s best for both of us that you leave’ and refunded me cost of double room only not family.

Very poor experience
The location was convenient, but that’s the only positive thing I can say. The hotel staff was beyond rude the entire time, as if our presence was a major annoyance. They made us a dinner reservation at the bar upon check-in, but when we arrived at our appointed time we were turned away and had to drive to Oban for a meal. The car park in back had no access to bring in bags. The bathroom stank of poo. Yuck.

Very good hotel -could be excellent
Very pleasant hotel. Two minor reservations - the room was rather hot, and the window did not fully open (probably for safety reasons), second the breakfast was only 5/10 - odd diluted fruit juice; no yoghurt or fruit salad; service bit too laid back - no clearing of tables during meal, no asking if we wanted more toast or coffee. All seemed a bit of a struggle. The team should be taken to somewhere where the breakfast content and service are 10/10 - it wouldn't cost much if anything to bring it up to scratch.
