Excellent Guest House
quiet areacomfy bedfluffy towels
The hotel sits across from the bay. A short walk led easily into town. Room 10 had no sea view yet looked super clean. A comfy bed plus great shower room came supplied with fluffy towels and toiletries. A kettle with tea and coffee plus sherry was available.
Service

The host looked friendly plus helpful with recommendations. He suggested the Pier House hotel in Port Appin. We enjoyed a fabulous seafood lunch in beautiful surroundings.
Facilities

There is an area downstairs designed for food preparation. The town center offers numerous restaurants within easy reach. The hotel supplies parking.
Location
10/10
The hotel provides a shoreline location. I noted it takes only ten minutes strolling to reach the esplanade and the town. It's a seafood capital.
Dining
9/10
Extra touches included Tunnocks biscuits and Irn Bru in the room. The host provided a decanter of sherry. Markie Dan's is nearby for a drink and a good food menu.
