The hotel offers clean and well-maintained rooms with great views but lacks a TV. It is a bit inconvenient not to have a place to hang bath towels to dry. The location is perfect, just off the ferry from Kennacraig to the Island of Islay. The dining includes thin crispy fries, and the facilities are satisfactory.
