Isle of Lismore Fishing Vacations

Staff very helpful. Gave us an upgrade.

Great breakfast, wonderful room and staff very friendly

First of all - there’s a £50 holding charge required on check in. This would have been really helpful to have known about prior to arrival. I might have missed it during the booking process but I definitely didn’t know about this until I saw the sign at check in. The hotel is fine. I can’t say I would pay so much to stay here again. The shower in the room was incredibly small. I awoke in the middle of the night to find that the bed had separated and there was a big gap in the mattresses which wasn’t great - I didn’t sleep very well. Breakfast was fine - pretty standard. In the middle of service we spotted a staff member refilling the fresh orange jug with the 1.60 cartoon of juice from the newsagent, which we found quite funny. Receptionist was nice, I didn’t catch her name unfortunately. Did not get such a nice vibe from other staff members. On return from breakfast, a cleaner was sitting on the carpet in the hall on her phone. It felt like she was waiting for us to leave and it was kinda odd that she felt she had to do that right outside our door instead of somewhere comfortable- especially because we still had time before checkout. Reasonable level of cleanliness but maybe needs so minor updating? A hand rail on the wall of the stairs would be helpful. I just expected more for the price paid from a hotel that is so well reviewed.

First overnight as a couple since having a baby, so we wanted something special. First thing we noticed was the building itself. Absolutely stunning doesn’t do this justice, the quality of the decor, the smell on entering (reception were very knowledgeable about the fragrances used), and the lounge were all lovely and very serene. Check in was really smooth and on explaining the reason for our stay we were instantly upgraded and given a lovely bottle of Cremant, without asking. Such a genuinely lovely gesture. The hallway / stairway / lift is INCREDIBLE. Honestly worth the stay just to see this. They’ve done an amazing job restoring this building. It is just stunning. Our room was immaculate and we loved the arty touches, as well as the chocolate (handmade in Glasgow) and stickers. The bed was massive and quite possibly the comfiest hotel bed I’ve ever slept in. WiFi was fast and easy to connect to as well. The room felt like it had been considered, it wasn’t just a carbon copy like most chain hotels, and equally it wasn’t full of old second hand furniture. It was basically just really cool. Worth noting that the hotel has a discount for the Q Park literally across the street, we got 24h parking for about the cost of 2.5 hours on the street, which saved us buses and trains and made the whole thing effortless. The location is central to pretty much anything city centre, and we walked to Finnieston in about 15 mins. A lovely stay and lovely memory.
