"Has to be one of the nicest settings on Islay. The check-in process is a little weird, as it's a sort of camera, but someone does then come down and check you in. "It looks like the new owners are really trying to bring it all back to its former glory, and from what we saw, they're doing a great job." Another described the hotel as "an okay place but not luxury." They added: "The staff are lovely but there is little they can do." A third guest shared" "Great stay with the family whilst visiting the island. Staff and room were fantastic and a full hearty breakfast after an amazing pub meal at the local pub the night before made this a great two-night break."
