I rated the stay as 3 stars because of the lack of pool. If I'd known that the pool wasn't available before booking, I would have chosen an alternative hotel with a pool. The advertising showed the pictures of pool & it is only when you looked at the details subsection that there was a note stating that the pool was out of use for a period.

We couldn’t stay at Duisdale as it had to close due to a roof repair but we stayed at their sister hotel at Skeabost. It was lovely and would recommend.

it’s a nice boutique hotel but the rooms are cozy and not too bad. Also, the hotel is very close to the airport but middle of nowhere. If you have to take a taxi service to Bowmore, which is the town center, for meals, It will cost 40 poundsround-trip. The hotel has a restaurant on site but sort ...
