Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is like a small slice of Scottish heaven, nestled in the stunning and peaceful village of Carradale, Kintyre. It offers a relaxed break with lovely walking opportunities right on the doorstep. The rooms, although a little on the small side, are well laid out and have everything you could ask for, including tea, coffee, and towels. The dining experience is superb, featuring delicious regional dishes cooked to order with as much local food as possible.
The hotel offers immaculate rooms with a great view to Arran and Alisa Craig across the golf course. Although the room was a bit small, it was still comfortable and had a quirky high window letting in light. The location is peaceful, ensuring a good night's sleep after enjoying the malt whisky selection, and the dining experience was excellent. However, the limited dining options outside the hotel were a drawback.
The hotel was cozy and charming, providing a comfortable stay with great amenities. The service was excellent but the dining options were limited. The location was perfect for a relaxing getaway, though the facilities could be improved.
