Visited for the day to play the golf course, and what a course it is. Amazing setting, great design and excellent condition. Played on a sunny day with just enough wind to keep it interesting. Warm welcome at reception, and especially in the pro shop. Lots of chat about the course, the facilities and a suggestion for a stop on the way back to the ferry. One quibble. We went in for breakfast and the manager (?) said to the waitress, lodly and rather disparagingly, "couple of walk- ins!!" Actually, no, two visiting golfers, who would appreciate breakfast after an early start! Not very polite. Additionally, as you have a fixed price for breakfast, why not say so? Otherwise, just a bagel and coffee is rather expensive! Although it was jolly nice. Lovely surroundings, restaurant experience wasn't very welcoming, but overall, pleased we'd made the journey.

We had a very happy few days staying here. Some members of the family stayed in a hotel room while others stayed in a lodge. All the rooms were lovely with stunning views over the golf course. The lodge worked really well giving us some living space altogether. The lodge was very well equipped and had everything you needed for a special stay. The hotel is in a perfect setting with a walk down to the beach. The hot tub, sauna and ice bath were enjoyed too. The breakfasts were delicious and all the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you Barry for looking after us so well. We had breakfast in the hotel and it was enjoyed by all. The hotel was the perfect location for trips to Port Ellen and some amazing distilleries. We would definitely recommend and will be back.

What a beautiful hotel we absolutely loved it. The views are amazing.The staff were great nothing too much trouble and the food was excellent .Went for a drink in the bar and we were told we didn’t have to pay as a golfer had got a hole in one and had put a tab behind the bar so thank you who ever you are.

Stayed for three nights with my father during Feis Ile as part of a birthday present for his 80th. Hotel location is lovely, on golf course and near beach. Room was ideal with view over the course. The electric chargers at the hotel work very well and meant I could leave with 100% and didn't need to charge again before home. Can't fault the facilities. On the down side I had a rate which included a meal on the last night which was not provided. To be fair I chose not to challenge it with staff at the time, and put a negative on what had been a nice evening celebration, but there was nobody present at reception to raise it with the next day when leaving for the first ferry. Also as there was nobody on reception and you are not sent an e-mail invoice by the hotel on leaving there were charges put on my card that I was not given an explanation for. I sent a subsequent e-mail to customer service but his has been ignored. I wouldn't say avoid staying here, the facilities are great, but just be aware that issues clearly exist with the service provided. Personally I will be trying other locations on Islay in future.
