Beautiful location, fast and easy check in and the food was nice. The staff were pleasant and provided a speedy and efficient service. However it was let down by the rooms which were filthy and covered in cobwebs. Dirty toilet brushes adorned the bathroom, the shower was covered in soap scum and moldy silcone with filthy tiles. The sea view in the room was totally obscured by a large TV sat righ in front of the window. The room was so small you almost hit the bed with the door as you opened it and the bathroom no bigger than a coat cupboard. The matress on the bed was well worn and the pillow cases torn. The towel in the bathroom was threadbare and the curtains were not big enough to cover the window and half hanging from the rail. The windows were filthy which obsecured the beautiful views outside. The door to the bathroom didnt have a lock and was peeling. In the stairwell there were lose cables, torn and dirty caprets and water damage that had grown mushrooms. Not sure there was appropriate fire safety equipment and the wiring looked in need of updating. The wifi was poor and there was a very limited range of TV chanels. The entrance way is covered in weeds and unkempt. The hot tub is located in what can only be described as a bin store, next to the large bin and empty beer barrels, entirely unappealing.

We were desperate for a place to stay for the night , otherwise we would have left after visiting the room The Inn had seen better days The carpet was dirty , the room felt greasy A very large tub sat in the bedroom , with 2 large ice buckets - maybe it was once a honeymoon suite ? The room was advertised for 4 sleepers - it was not. They placed a cot on the floor for our teen son. The best part of the experience was the morning breakfast , nicely serviced by friendly staff and a hearty breakfast

Little disappointed 😔

The hotel is old but could do with a little maintenance i.e. towel radiator in bathroom not working, lightbulbs missing and could really do with a clean up around skirtings and around the entrance to the hotel.

Sadly booked rooms for a couple of nights in February. Rooms were freezing, reported and nothing changed for 2nd night. Shower in room 1 also ran cold water only. Shower in room 2, was not a shower! Only a trickle of water came out. We will not book again.

Could do better.

This is a tired hotel that is trying to do its best. Lovely location on the loch and gives easy access to places of interest. Reception is not covered from late afternoon and in the morning, there is a phone number to use in case of emergency. Food ok. If you have pets with you be prepared to be a 3rd rate guest. Table not laid out for you, the only tables to use are at the entrance to the guest lounge or next to the swing doors to the kitchen. So not a relaxing time. We were there for 2 nights, and our room was not serviced after our first night. Not what i would expect for a three star hotel. I would suggest you check out other hotels in the area, for a few £s more we could have stayed at Stonefield castle, a few miles down the road set in its own grounds!!! We live and learn!@@

Comfy hotel!

Had an overall great stay! Very clean and nice staff. The only thing that’s negative worth mentioning was that it took a very long time to get hot water in the shower and the tub. And after the hot water was running in the tub there was no way to get the cold water running. Except for this, a comfy bed and nice breakfast made this a nice stop along the way.

There was no hot water in the bathroom/toilet, had to use tap ice cold water for freshen up in the morning, informed to staff said they can't do anything the engineers will come after 12 noon. Rooms are very noisy can hear even toilet flush and jumping and all from other rooms

Enjoyable stay at Grey Gull Hotel

The Grey Gull Hotel is an old building and requires much renovation. However our bedroom was large, clean and we enjoyed our one night stay. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful. Would certainly return especially at the price it is at present.

Great place for an overnight stay

It is an old hotel which needs a lot of work doing to it. However our bedroom was spacious, had been updated, had everything we needed and was very clean and the B&B price per room was mist reasonable. The breakfasts were very good, and a lovely view of Loch Fyne from the dining room. All the staff we spoke to were very welcoming. Would certainly come back again if looking for accommodation in Ardrishaig.

Great stay

Room was absolutely massive and bed was super comfy. Only downside we had was that the hot water took forever to get to a decent temperature and it wasn’t really all that warm but just had to go for it really so probably take a mark off for that. Other than that though thought the room was perfect. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was absolutely tremendous 10/10. Actually the second time we’ve ate there and never had any faults with the quality of the food. One other downside and it’s not really that much of an issue personally but can see it being for others is that the place appeared to be severely short staffed so there was often a long wait for drinks and all that but like I say not really an issue for us and we were happy enough to wait. Would be more than happy to stay here again.
