The greatest assets to the hotel are the staff. We came across two lovely members of staff who were great.
Breakfast was good with also a varied choice with local produce, straight out of Loch Fyne.
Parking is directly opposite and free.
Tarbert is a bit tired like lots of British resorts but is a charming little place and perfect for a one or two night stay.

The location is good and staff were pleasant. The hotel I felt was lacking in the maintenance, paint could have been refreshed and my sink had a big crack in it. Although the bed was clean, I felt like the bathroom could do with a deep clean around the shower etc. Breakfast was fine, good enough but nothing special.

We had an early ferry to Islay the next morning, and the staff were so thoughtful to prepare our breakfast ahead of time and leave it at the front desk. Great service and nice, comfortable room. The hotel is also very close to the ferry terminal — only about a 10-minute drive, which was very convenient.

While we were very happy with the accommodations, the clear high points of our short stay were the "above and beyond" helpfulness of the staff and the excellent restaurant and breakfast offerings (on our 1st evening in Scotland we were pleased to enjoy wonderful fish dishes &, of course, Haggis!!!).
