Couldn’t fault the property or the staff.
The amenities are as best as you could expect in such a small island.
Manager was very helpful and chatty
I would recommend the Colonsay Hotel for shorts stays , not because there is anything wrong with it , the staff , ir the island but it is a small island and there is only so much you can do.
Beaches are stunning and so is the walk across The Strand to the Isle of Oransay
