10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful B&B. Really friendly and the full cooked Scottish breakfast was done brilliantly (poached egg, plus not greasy sausages/haggis etc). Would recommend. Nice views from the breakfast dining area towards the island of Inchmamock."

"It’s all about the food and the restaurant view. Yes it’s a lovely old building with great service but then the bed is uncomfortable and the pillows really lumpy but it all is fine because the restraint food service and food are outstanding."

Portavadie

Portavadie

10/10 Excellent
"Portavadie was a wonderful stay, It takes a while to drive there but once arrive we barely wanted to leave, and both pedestrian and car ferries (although the car ferry is often broken down) are right there. The room at the Lodge was perfect!! The restaurant including breakfast is a wonderful space, the menu choices, quality of food, and staff are all just great. The Spa is another great space, and the general views make you feel you have truly escaped. Will come again!! Thank you Portavedie."

Anchor Hotel

Anchor Hotel

8/10 Good
"Staff very helpful and able to deal with all questions. Good breakfast made to order and very good dinner in hotel restaurant. Free parking is available all along the street; all local amenities are easily accessible on foot. The internal fabric of the hotel is rather tired and worn, and would benefit from some refurbishment; fixtures and fittings show some - largely cosmetic - wear and tear which might be better maintained. This would make it more aesthetically attractive."

"This was a wonderful place to stay. It is a heritage building and so you cannot expect modern amenities. But it had everything you need, a nicely renovated bathroom and the food was AMAZING! The atmosphere was perfect for the surrounding glen and the staff were extremely friendly. The room was small and basic but it lent to the charm. And the food.... Seriously good!"
