The hotel offers rooms with great facilities and a wonderful view of Loch Ryan. The showers are good, and the beds are comfortable, providing a nice view as well. However, being located just on the outskirts of town, it is very accessible to the center, although it may lack a bit of the bustling atmosphere. The price is reasonable for what you get.
