I want to go back now!

Although we were only there for one night, I fell in love immediately. Beautiful hotel with beautiful views. Staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was great. Hotel was very quiet and cosy. The beds were really comfortable and we had an amazing stay! Would definitely be back!

Lovely location, relaxing break

Large old style hotel with faded glamour which new owners are setting about restoring and improving. Nice restaurant with good food, large bar area in need of rethinking of the seating and with views over the bay. Had a sea view room which was lovely. Heating on full blast in a warm June weekend but large old single glazed windows merited the heating! Nice and relaxing 2 night stay, sufficient time to see island’s highlights and hotel a 10 minute walk to town centre.

Glorious Glenburn

A truly marvellous stay at The Glenburn. We had a great nights sleep with a brilliant Scottish breakfast!! Hotel is amazing from the tartan carpets down to the splendour of the views from the terrace. Staff were friendly and happy to accommodate early arrivals with welcome tea and coffee. Whilst the hotel was a little dated in parts, I thought this added to the old school Scottish charm.I shall be staying here again!!
