Charming guesthouse facing the esplanade. Convenient to all amenities within a short walk. Communal kitchen was awesome. Fully stocked. Rooms were a good size. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. Parking next to the building was £9 for the day or £1 per hour.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Loved the location and view of the bay. Room and bed were fine. Handy that they had a pub/restaurant at street level. Would have been nice if they had a sheet explaining how the self-serve breakfast/kitchen worked (what was provided, what could be purchased nearby?). We did some exploring and figured it out, but it's details like that, that make a strong positive impression on guests. Building's interior finishes and decor need some freshening up, bathroom shower was tight quarters.

Decent budget accommodation

This is budget accommodation, but done well, with friendly service. Room was spacious and clean with a good bathroom. Sits above a busy bar, but on the 3rd floor we heard nothing when we went off to bed.

This is a waterfront property. We had a room with a private bathroom and the view of the loch. Gorgeous picture to wake up to. Bar downstairs did not bother us at all even we slept with open windows ( no air conditioning). Room was clean and bigger than in some European hotels we stay. Staff is friendly. The communal kitchen downstairs has refrigerators for guests and fully equipped. Also it is fridge with a food you can buy. The only negative experience is someone decided to smoke at 5 am right under our window (front door of the house) and smoke went directly to our room. But I can’t blame hotel for it.

Hatten kein Frühstück gebucht. Das Guesthousr war sauber, die Zimmer ebenfalls, das Bad war modern und groß. Wichtig ist nur zu wissen, dass das Wasser für die Duschen außerhalb mit einem Schalter eingeschalten werden muss :) Das Treppenhaus wirkt alt, allerdings ebenfalls sauber. Betten waren gemütlich, das Zimmer war mit allem ausgestattet was man benötigt hat.
