Excellent Stay with Delicious Food and Clean Rooms
The staff were excellent and I couldn't ask for more. They really were pretty good. Rooms were very clean with attention to detail. I found a fabulous atmosphere in the bar and dining room. It was great.
The price did take me aback. It seemed quite high for the simple accommodation provided. I think breakfast should be included, especially considering the cost per night.

The location was perfect though the single-lane passage took some time to navigate. It is an ideal spot for travelling on the island, with fine views of the loch and mountains beyond. Iona is easily accessible from here.

The pub offered great food in a cozy atmosphere. I appreciated the coin-operated laundry system available outside, and the free parking was a definite bonus. I found good seating options outdoors, which allowed guests to enjoy the fine views.
the room was a super king room loch view. it was a good size. i appreciated the view of the loch from the room, very calming. the store next door was handy for picking up necessities.
The price seemed high for what i got. breakfast cost extra. It was not included in the room rate. the noise from the bar was audible in my room at times. this was disruptive in the evening.
