"We absolutely loved our stay at Bowmore house. We booked the distillery view room. It was very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic, and we even got to sample the proprietary whisky. The staff kicked us informed of any possible issues with returning from the island via the ferry. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit."

### Argyll Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel, absolutely delicious food at both breakfast and dinner, friendly welcoming staff. Sits right on the beach. Room comfortable and warm. Only downside was that our window blinds were broken so we couldn't see the sea view we paid extra for, and the rooms, although clean, could do with a little more cleaning to remove dust and some grubby corners on skirting etc. Great location for exploring Mull of Kintyre and an easy day trip to Gigha from here.
