Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers lovely views over Loch Ryan and comfortable rooms. The service was top-notch, but dining with limited options. Conveniently close to the sea and ferry terminal.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with lovely views over Loch Ryan. The service is top-notch, but dining options may be limited. The location is convenient with easy access to the seafront and nearby restaurants.
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.
