Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at this hotel that sits high on the cliff, offering stunning views over the harbour. The modern rooms with a bathroom including a mirror on the ceiling were impressive, but the service was somewhat lacking in terms of English fluency. The location at the top of a small hill provided the best views of Tobermory, and the dining experience with a great view was enjoyable. However, the service could be more efficient and the dining options could have been improved.
The hotel offers lovely views over the harbor from rooms with separate sitting areas, providing spectacular views. The attentive staff provided a polite and efficient service, although some may struggle with language barriers. The location on the hillside overlooking Tobermory Bay offers fantastic views, but access includes a fairly steep road. The facilities are well-maintained, with pet amenities available.
Staying in the attic room with a unique bathroom setup, including a mirror on the ceiling and a real cast iron big bath, was a memorable experience. The tap-based system added to the charm, and the room had all the necessary amenities.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the fantastic views over the harbor from my room. The beds were comfortable, and the harbor view below was stunning. However, the inland view rooms may not offer the same charm. The staff was attentive and polite, providing excellent service throughout my stay. The hotel's location at the top of a small hill offered the best views of Tobermory, though the steep road leading up to it could be a challenge for some. The dining experience with tasty cooked options and good vegetarian choices was delightful. The facilities were well-equipped, with pet amenities available, but the high prices might deter budget travelers.

The service is efficient, especially at the manned reception desk, although communication in English may be limited among staff. The location on the hill above the harbor provides a picturesque setting with a fairly steep road leading up to it. Dining offers tasty cooked options with a stunning view. The facilities are well-maintained and add to the overall experience.
The hotel offers rooms with great views over Tobermory harbour and a tap-based system, providing a great view of the harbour below amidst stunning scenery. The service was attentive and polite, with requests handled efficiently, although some staff members struggled with English and lacked formal training. The location stands out for its elevated position on top of a hill providing excellent views of Tobermory. Dining options include dishes like vegetarian sausages and foie gras with beautiful views overlooking the harbour. The hotel boasts clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a picturesque location but may benefit from more trained service staff and improved dining selections.
