Loved our corner room overlooking the harbour. Very comfortable. Breakfast was a pre order which resulted in hot food coming at the same time as the cold!!!! So not ideal but that aside a lovely small niche setup

A perfectly pleasant stay. However it lacks the human touch. Everything is automated and seems organised to minimise interaction between host and guest. Breakfast - all three courses at the same time left at your door - eating cereal first meant cold bacon sandwich and cold toast. Run for the proprietor not the guest.

2 night stay
Great stay Nice and clean, cosy and bed was comfy. Alan was a good host. Loved the personal touch where the light breakfast is brought to your room at the time which suits. Also, in case there are any folk out there who may want to know where they are staying is secure use this place. Nobody can gain access without an electronic key fob from the host. When you arrive there is a video doorbell which adds to the security. (Not that you would need it as Tarbert is a nice place)
