The Grey Gull Hotel

The Grey Gull Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff at the hotel was really friendly but if you have issues with lifting luggage it may be a problem getting up the stairs . We were not told when the breakfast was over so when we arrived at 950 am it was over and was only given toast and juice and coffee . We really enjoyed the supper as there was only one other place that was open in the village near by pier which was already booked for the night . The stay was really quite in the hotel which was also another plus but the beds were not the most comfortable which it would help if they had a topper on the mattress ."

"Absolutely beautiful location next to the loch. It was very quiet and peaceful when we stayed. We used it as a place to stay while we visited Oban and the Isle of Mull. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The last 30 mins drive to the site is an adventure that sometimes felt like a rollercoaster but worth it when you get there."

"The property has a commanding view down the facing valley and is super conveniently placed on the main road. Walked into hotel (bar entrance) and straight into a busy bar area with people chatting, laughing, eating and clearly having a happy time. Room basic but clean, everything worked, super good night's sleep after a couple of pints of Jarl and a tasty hot salmon pasta. Breakfast generous and spot on. Very welcoming and friendly place!"

"It is electronic entry so we only so staff when they delivered our breakfast to the room in the morning. There are plenty of options close by for evening meal. Parking is close by at the harbour as you cannot stop outside the guest house as it is on the corner of the main road."
