We stayed in the sauna room which was recently refurbished, staff were incredibly rude and inattentive, food was microwaved ready meal at best. The room itself was fine, shower was broken. The sauna was nice although it smelled incredibly unclean. I definitely would not recommend staying here. 0 atmosphere either. Also the hot tub was broken which was not communicated to us until we arrived honestly AVOID.

Staircase to rooms leaves a lot to be desired. Very old and dirty. The room was very small, claustrophobic! Terrible smell from the carpet (old dog smell) kept me awake at night despite the window wide open. Breakfast was poor. Low quality products not well cooked. The setting is beautiful but sadly the standard of upkeep outside and in does not do the area justice. On a positive note the staff were very nice and helpful and restaurant dinner was lovely.

Our Dog was welcomed. Very friendly and approachable staff, our room was as expected clean and exactly what we required as being disabled, on the ground floor and a walk in shower. We had no problems getting there, and being there, staff were excellent and attentive, Especially Gavin GM. Dale HM, and Pete the Executive Chef. Other staff were friendly and helpful too. We had a great stay.

The rooms were okay for a one night stay, however they need refurbishment, as they are dated and some things no longer work. The staff were friendly and served the purpose for us, as it was a last minute booking.

Good people and facilities.

Stayed in room 1 for a business trip. Really nice and helpful staff. It looks like it is slowly being modernised as it is an old building but facilities are good with a great location. Definitely want to return in future for leisure with my partner.

We were desperate for a place to stay for the night , otherwise we would have left after visiting the room The Inn had seen better days The carpet was dirty , the room felt greasy A very large tub sat in the bedroom , with 2 large ice buckets - maybe it was once a honeymoon suite ? The room was advertised for 4 sleepers - it was not. They placed a cot on the floor for our teen son. The best part of the experience was the morning breakfast , nicely serviced by friendly staff and a hearty breakfast

Enjoyable stay at Grey Gull Hotel

The Grey Gull Hotel is an old building and requires much renovation. However our bedroom was large, clean and we enjoyed our one night stay. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful. Would certainly return especially at the price it is at present.

Great place for an overnight stay

It is an old hotel which needs a lot of work doing to it. However our bedroom was spacious, had been updated, had everything we needed and was very clean and the B&B price per room was mist reasonable. The breakfasts were very good, and a lovely view of Loch Fyne from the dining room. All the staff we spoke to were very welcoming. Would certainly come back again if looking for accommodation in Ardrishaig.

Overall a great stay with a generous breakfast. Please note, the 4th bed in a family room is only suitable for a very small child, not a big 11 year old! Thankfully, the hotel wasn't full and they gave us an additional room free of charge.
