4-Sterne-Hotels in Argyll-Bute, Vereinigtes Königreich

We booked 2 rooms 1 night last minute booking. I got Junior suite for me & my husband. Room is very spacious for UK standard, sea view is very beautiful Seaview. The hotel has lift thats very good for travelers with many luggages.The room is a little cold so we switched on spare small heater which is warm enough. Their specialist amenities are very good. Whisky Honey. Oh.our room door isn't working, that's pretty scary.

This is the most stunning place I've ever stayed. The room was nothing special, comfortable and well equipped with a good hairdryer. The views though. The dining room is an elevated glass-fronted platform looking out over trees, the gardens and loch and is spectacular, especially just now as the trees are changing colour. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, and if you like seafood I'd recommend the Loch Fyne platter. The lobster mac cheese also went down well. The gardens and walks were good, with some amazing trees. The hotel has its own little island to walk round, with some enormous rocks and stony beaches. I'd definitely stay here again.

We stayed at the Rosslea overnight as part of a road trip. Lovely location with a view of the loch. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food excellent. We were informed beforehand of a large party for dinner so we expected a slight delay to our meal which was not an issue for us. The bed and pillows were super comfy as they were firm, which is how we like it and the room comfortable. The bathroom was a little tired and the flush a little stiff as it has push buttons in the wall, which I found a little difficult due to arthritis but it did not detract from our stay. Breakfast was excllent. I would recommend staying here for the traditional Scottish vibe

Das Hotel liegt unmittelbar am Loch Melfort und gleich neben den Arduaine Gardens. Diese Parkanlage war zum Zeitpunkt unseres Aufenthaltes aber dauerhaft geschlossen. Wir hatten ein sehr kleines Zimmer im Haupthaus ohne besonderen Ausblick. Es gibt auch Zimmer im neuen Anbau mit Blick auf die Bucht, die möglicherweise geräumiger sind. Der Service war sehr freundlich. Obwohl die Küche um 21:00 schließt und wir erst kurz vorher zum Einchecken angekommen waren, konnten wir noch eine Bestellung aufgeben und anschließend im Restaurant zu Abend essen.

We love Islay and had heard so much about The Machrie after its makeover and so, when my wife was given a voucher to stay there on her retirement we booked up. The booking process was a bit ‘clunky’ as we were trying to book dinner as well as golf and a two night stay. It seemed that none of the departments spoke to each other, and when we followed up we were always answered by a sister hotel in Wales! On arrival, we had a great experience of check in and the room was lovely with modern appliances and nice toiletries….very relaxing. Dinner on the first night was really tasty and was served (very quickly) by a really nice young recruit from Glasgow who was loving his time on Islay. All good, if rather pacey instead of leisurely. Up the next day for breakfast…..and this is where the hotel, charging £450 a night for B&B really let itself down. It took ages for a surly staff member to notice us at the ‘wait to be seated’ sign and allocate us a table. The self-serve buffet was always empty, needing more fresh fruit to be laid out. Staff were not friendly, orders were mixed up and service was slow. We were not the only guests experiencing this. Truly awful……and we were to have breakfast there again the next day! We golfed at The Machrie and what a joy that was. Delightful course in immaculate condition with wonderful views. Absolutely excellent. We decided to dine out the second night and after a super comfortable sleep, faced the same nightmare for breakfast. We raised this at the time and believe poor attitude coupled with poor training leads to high turnover of staff (most were new) and a dreadful reputation (which we later discovered is known throughout the island). Having completed my survey on the ferry home in which I said I wouldn’t be back and would not recommend it to friends, I got an e mail back saying thanks for doing the survey and look forward to you coming back! I have delayed this review to see if the survey was picked up but it hasn’t been and so I’m now giving my views. I can only say to the owners (ex BBC Chairman Glyn Davies and his Baroness wife) thank you for the investment and improvement to this hotel, thank you for the improvements on the golf course but don’t expect staff to stay if they are not trained….and with that, don’t expect customers to return

When you arrive parking is an issue . We were lucky to have an electric vehicle so used the 2 available at the front of the hotel however be aware you need to have a card specific to the electric point . We had to call their customer service everytime we wanted to connect / disconnect . They also put a £35 pending amount on your bank account Everytime you connect we connected 5 times so this soon adds up. To get to any room you have to go up 12 stairs so would not recommend this hotel to anybody with mobility issues or have issues carrying your bags as these stairs are prior to the lifts. During your stay you are bombarded with messages to confirm bookings in the restaurant and to review the restaurant . This became annoying as we confirmed the breakfast booking at arrival. We used the in line booking service to book an evening meal in the Grill only to be put in the conservatory instead . We had to find our own table as there were 2 re served this became an issue when another guest stated we were sat at their table and had to move . This would have been avoided if we were shown to the table or we were out in the Grill as booked . The food is very over priced for what you get . Continuity of service lets this hotel down. One minute you are charged service charge then your not. You have shortbread biscuits with hot drinks then you don’t. Your room is serviced one day and not the next . On a Wednesday morning the hotel outside bins are emptied at 04.30 hrs and the noise is unbelievable and lasts for about half an hour . We were due to leave the following day and had a 6 hour drive ahead of us so being woke up so early was not good ! The staff are excellent and did make our stay especially Frank. Would we stay again… No.

Not disappointed at all. From the minute we walked in we were made to feel welcome. We stayed here for a week in the king size sea view room ( my word what a view it was ) it was beyond expectations and not once did the standard drop. The level of cleanliness and hospitality was top notch, not to mention the food. Whether it was breakfast or an evening meal it was well cooked and very tasty. I have never had such tasty porridge as they make here. I can highly recommend staying here, you certainly won’t be disappointed.

We arrived soaked after a lengthy bike ride and wanted to get into a warm bedroom as quickly as possible. There was no-one on reception and instead I had to wait rather too long for one of the overworked waiting-on staff to appear and check us in. The room was cold. There was no information at all so we weren’t able to get any heat with asking further. We were also advised to not even bother with the towel rail as none of them worked in the hotel. All far from ideal when you’re trying to dry out soaking clothes. The tap was very loose and worst of all there was a huge crack right across the seat of the toilet. Totally unhygienic. I mentioned it when we went down again and was thanked for telling them - but it clearly wasn’t going to be fixed for us. The room should stayed unused until it had been fixed. There was also only one, tiny shower gel and one tiny shampoo between the two of us. You get the picture. The food in the Seabed Restaurant was reasonable but was not a patch on the standard when we ate there last two years ago.

Having booked in on the 24/12/2023 with my service dog. I was told that the room I had booked in September of this year. Was not allocated to me. Which happened to be a sea view room. I was offered a downstairs carpark room for disabled person with wheelchair access. On entering the room ,all looked good at first sight. On closer inspection. The room had I'll fitting window. That it was not possible to close fully. There was also damage from damp to the lower part of the wall from damp, beneath the window. The plumbing in the wet room was at best poor quality. A single very small sink and low mirror above. Which some time for the warm water to come through the tap. And the shower had also poor pressure and I had to wait for some time again to receive warm water. And the fitting for the handheld shower was next to useless. The toilet seat had been replaced at some point previously with one of the wrong size and was not fit for purpose. The toilet bowl it's self had two large cracks in the sides of it, on the inside. The breakfast was faultless, and had a good selection on offer for all dietary requirements. which could not be said for the one and only main meal I had from the venue. which consisted of a chewy tasteless meat pie, a small scoop of mash potato, four uncooked pieces of broccoli, and a small cup of gravy. Obviously there to try and soften the wood like broccoli. And at just over £11.00 pounds was a total rip off. Will I be eating there again I don't think so. And just to top it off 1 pint of Guinness at £5.00 a glass.
