Great spot on the way to Campbeltown. Bed was comfy and great size bathroom. Food in the evening was difficult as lots of places were full, but would stay again.

Nice place to stay

Nice place situated close to Campbeltown, overall it was a good stay for the price paid. Room was spacious enough with all necessities. Bed not too comfortable and very short with my feet hanging off and I’m only 5ft 10. Picked up keys from shop downstairs and service was great and welcoming

The room was nicely decorated, was fitted with amenities most hotels overlook today. Face clothes, luggage benches, ample clothes hangers just to name a few. Friendly helpful staff. Overall it is a good place to stay. Only drawback was the limited dining options nearby.
