amazing stay, amazing property and amazing breakfast. Did feel a little sad about the night manager whom, when we asked whether the bar was open at 10:15pm after we’d got in after dinner, told us she was serving till 10:30. We said we’d only want one as we’d had a few with dinner and we’re met with the reply of: if you’ve already had a couple then you’ve probably had enough. Other than that everything was excellent and exceeded expectations.

When we were ordering the room for the 28th we were sure it was the top of the line room. We are senior citizens. We were given a room with three beds off to the side. The TV and remote were worthless. The lamps in the room did not work, and the staff could not tell us how to get them to work. The next morning we noticed the room next to ours was the top of the line room we requested from Expedia. For an extra fee They were able to give it to us for another night, which was the excellent Expedia charged us for room.

I think it is extremely unfair of you to give us a one star review for something that could not possibly be our fault. We had no control over the room you booked, before you arrived at the hotel. In fact, once you arrived, you asked for a further night's stay in that room. Only changing your mind the following day, once you had seen into the Honeymoon Room. The lamps in the room did work, and the tv and remote were working.

Won’t stay again.
Arrived quite late, carpark is really dark & not well signposted. Bed sheets were stained. Room was infested with big black flies (not midge) managed to kill 10 before deciding to sleep in my van in the carpark as no one in reception to complain to. Went to have a shower in the morning & the shower pump just squirted water on & off. Wasn’t happy! Can’t comment on breakfast as didn’t chance it seeing the state of the room. First time staying in Campbell town & think it will be my last.

I cannot say enough good about this property, and it's staff. From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the picturesque grounds and views of the water. Upon checking in, we found our rooms to be immaculate and comfortable, and also wonderfully decorated. The staff is the friendliest and most welcoming of any of the places we've stayed at so far, and the meals were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be staying here the next time I come back to Campbeltown!

A nice hotel
It was a nice stay. The single room wasn't too small, it was clean and well-maintained. It's a mile or so from town, but cabs are readily available. Breakfast was nice. All around nice.

Great location
It is in a great location, our room was a small suite which was huge and a fabulous view, it has more of a guest house feel about it , as there wasn't a bar as such , you could get a drink but the staff went into the kitchen for it ,only downside was only one person serving breakfast and room service .

It is Kintyre after all.
We stayed here while visiting relatives in the area. The hotel was listed for sale the same week and this may have had an effect on owners. However, arrived and was asked our name and given a room key by male owner(?) . No effort to welcome us or ask how our (long) journey had been. Upon return from town later, high wind blew open storm door and female owner (?) shouted for door to be shut and rushed forward. Sorry but if winds blow open the door - it is Kintyre after all - , sort the door don't shout at guests! Stayed 2 nights and internal corridors were unlit at night but stangely all lights on in morning when not needed. Inner hall and room felt oppressively hot on arrival but able to turn down room heater and open window. Room was comfortable with very large bathroom. It rained at night - it is Kintyre after all - and rain gutter dripped long after rain stopped. Breakfast was good and staff pleasant and helpful. Overall stay was okay and certainly quieter than town centre hotels where family had warned there can be noise all night from boy racers.

Lovely old building that has been lovingly restored to a high standard with very tasteful decor throughout. Booking in was quick and easy. We had the honeymoon suite which was very comfortable and had everything we required. The dining room was very pleasant, the Menu catered for all tastes and the food was excellent. Service was a little slow but the meals always arrived with a smile from the waitress. We would highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a quiet relaxing break.

Unique, beautifully converted mansion. Loads of character. Setting and view are very pretty. We were there on a rainy October weekend so we couldn't enjoy the outdoor space, but the outdoor space looked really nice. The family room we stayed in was very spacious yet cozy, with three somewhat distinct sleeping areas. Very nicely appointed, exceeded expectations. Welcome treats and beverages in our room were a nice surprise. Check-in/check-out was easy, fast, old-school. Included breakfast in the morning was hot and made to order, which was nice. The evening menu could stand to be paired down though. There are so many options it seems things must get pulled out of the freezer on demand. Everything we ordered at dinner was okay, not great. Highly recommend this place as a B&B. Would maybe get dinner elsewhere in town. Overall a fun stay, would return!
