Drove all the way there following the signs, arrived there and wasn't open and no signage as to what hours they open. There was cars outside but no life about the place. Great views over the water to Ireland and various places in Scotland, very pretty surroundings.

Room was clean, and it's a unique facility, but the WiFi is deplorable, not enough speed to do work. The food was a bit over the top for us, we prefer more of a simple, farm to table meal, especially since we came to Scotland to get that. Husband hated the tiny tv. We've been in Scotland for 3 weeks, spent the most money the entire time on this accomodation and it kinda fell flat for us. Owners are nice, maybe it's just too posh for us.

An interesting spot for a coffee or bite to eat. Fascinating to look around both inside and outside. Why not have a walk along the coast and take a look at the new build house with a roof that looks a bit like a 70's little chef?

Wonderful service from the staff. We dropped in for lunch. However, hadn't considered it's remoteness. It is advisable to phone in advance and book, so they can prepare. The staff were more than happy to make something for us from what was available. The lunch was fantastic. It is a great location and such a wonderful building.

This was not a stay but we went with the intention of buying tea and a cake or shortbread, as available. We enquired at reception and were sent off to the empty dining room. We waited in vain for about 10 minutes but no-one came after which we left, very disappointed by the lack of service.
