We enjoyed the cottage option for our family of five. The view from the hotel and restaurant is breathtaking, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, and the food served on site was delicious. We hope to be back!

Perfect place to stay

Fabulous place to stay. The hotel is on a hill with sea views in some of the rooms. Staff are great, service was excellent , hotel is spotlessly clean and we had dinner and breakfast here and both were delicious. Probably the best place we stayed on our NC500 tour . Get a sea view room if you can.

The owners did a pretty good job at renovating this place though some upgrades would help improve the quality. There was some damage on the wall behind the door and some of the shower surround wasn't properly fitted. However, the mattress was awesome, staff were absolutely impeccable, and the food was tremendous--some of the best we've had throughout Scotland. Would absolutely recommend.

A scenic and homely stay

We stayed in the cottage which was so lovely and clean. Staff are super friendly and attentive. There’s a wide range for breakfast and the dinners are incredible. Beautiful views around the hotel and for miles, perfect for doggies as there are plenty of beaches and walks no matter where you turn

An absolute gem

We picked this hotel at the last minute due to a change of plans - still can't believe our luck that they had a room available! Staff were so helpful & friendly. Food & other facilities faultless. The sea view from our room & the dining room was something we will always remember fondly.
