This is an absolute gem of a hotel set in a stunning location. Peace, quiet, tranquility, incredible views, beautiful grounds. Our balcony room overlooking the shore was spacious and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is superb with vegetarians, vegans and dietary allergies all fully catered for. Highly recommended and we look forward to staying again.

We booked specifically for an overnight stay so we would be relatively close to attend a wonderful concert at Kilmelford Village Hall ,approx a 10 minutes drive away . We've had a very busy schedule recently and the hotel and tranquil peaceful surrounds and lovely views across the bay , was just what we needed. We were lucky the sun shone and we were able to spend a blissful hour or two after checking in ,sitting out on the patio with a nice cup of tea and cake. We weren't able to dine unfortunately as the evening menu started too late for us to attend the concert but we did have a very tasty breakfast the next morning with local sea trout being on offer as well as a good choice of other items . The hotel itself has a lovely relaxed ambiance and all the staff are friendly and helpful . We had been before and stayed in one of the chalet rooms but this was our first time staying in the hotel itself .Last time we visited the lovely adjoining gardens of Arduaine . We will definitely return and stay for longer .
