Riverside Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a perfectly acceptable stay. Some changed to the rooms were noted...great showers, new curtains. But same old furniture and carpet. Breakfast was more than adequate...just lacking in a bit of finesse. Staff were friendly and helpful. Handy location for my visit. Would recommend and would return."

Seamill Hydro Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend"

The Harbour Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a pleasant stay at the Harbour Hotel. The room was a good size, clean and had plenty of power sockets, which was very convenient. The shower was excellent, with strong water pressure. The bathroom, however, felt quite dated. The sink was very small, making it difficult to fill the kettle directly from the tap, and there was no side lamp in the room. We also found that water came out of the shower tray despite the shower having an enclosure. Breakfast was good, with a good selection of gluten-free options available, which was much appreciated. Overall, a comfortable stay, although the bathroom could benefit from some updating and a few practical improvements."

The Grey Gull Hotel

8/10 Good

"The bar and restaurant areas are very modern and pleasant. The food that I had was very nice. However, the hotel and room were OK but in need of some TLC."

Bute House - Great Sea Views!

10/10 Excellent

"I fell in love with this property as soon as I went in. It is in need of some TLC, some bits and pieces are a bit tired looking. That being said, I found it really comfortable with gorgeous views and very peaceful. Campbell, the host, was easy to communicate with, nothing was to much trouble. This was my first visit and hopefully won't be my last. I would love to return."
