Port Charlotte Hotel

Cute hotel with great service and nice rooms in a cute village. Not far from Bruichladdich which was convenient as we were cycling.

We had a bar lunch and also an evening meal in the dining room (on separate days!). We were warmly welcomed on both days by Lorna and the team - Lorna is a terriffic manager who clearly understand true hospitality and therefore so does the team. The menu was interesting, with many points of difference and everything we tried - really flavoursome. Delightful experience on both days.

The hotel manager, Lorna, really made our trip! She is so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! We had only planned a couple of activities and she quickly helped us to fill in the rest of our time. Every suggestion she made was perfect! We had a lovely room with great views.

This smallish hotel has a super location right on the coast with great views across the water. We had a good room with a comfy king size bed and a lovely modern bathroom. It was clean, characterful and well presented with everything you need including free wifi. We arrived at a very busy time (island distilleries open days festival week) but the staff remained helpful, welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant which was enjoyable but rather pricy and the seafood was largely overcooked (scallops, halibut). However it was exceptionally hectic so we made exceptions. The excellent skin-on chips with the battered haddock were a joy! Breakfast was also served in the restaurant offering plenty of choice and inviting hot options. Enjoyed our comfortable stay.

Charming and quaint are perfect descriptives of this hotel as is the Village. Kate at reception was enormously welcoming and helpful - as was the young man who also worked reception. Room was quintessential of what one might expect in a port village. Perfectly decorated as is the sitting area, bar, dining, and even outside seating. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Breakfast and dinner were good. We occupied room 2 which was very nice. Only drawback was parking area lights that were on all night. Because it was warm, we had to have windows open (only opened about 10 inches), so we had to pull up shades to let cool air in. Bed was very comfortable. Only suggestion is to have smaller bedside lamps that take up less space. Bathroom was spacious and even had a shelf upon which we could set hair products. Big suggestion here is to have grab bar to assist in climbing out of shower. Can easily slip getting out especially for shorter persons climbing over a high bathtub. Plus shower door did not totally prevent water from flowing onto floor. All in all…great visit.

Rooms small an needed updating. Broken floor tiles in bathroom. Great friendly staff
