Stonefield Castle Hotel

8/10 Good
"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

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."
