Great place for an overnight stay

It is an old hotel which needs a lot of work doing to it. However our bedroom was spacious, had been updated, had everything we needed and was very clean and the B&B price per room was mist reasonable. The breakfasts were very good, and a lovely view of Loch Fyne from the dining room. All the staff we spoke to were very welcoming. Would certainly come back again if looking for accommodation in Ardrishaig.

The bed was uncomfortable: springs could be felt, with slanted (unleveled) to one side, hot water took 16 min. to warm up- never hot, weird whole in ceiling in bathroom. Staff super nice and safe location.

Our stay at the reknowned Grey Gull

Our stay at the Grey Gull was great!..ok so it needs a little updating but the addition of being the only hotel in or around Ardrishaig with hot tubs at a reasonble price reflects this!..The meals were lovely and good options for all the family...service was good and staff friendly...all in all we would certainly return if in the area..🙂

Overall a great stay with a generous breakfast. Please note, the 4th bed in a family room is only suitable for a very small child, not a big 11 year old! Thankfully, the hotel wasn't full and they gave us an additional room free of charge.

Room was clean. Restaurant staff was kind and courteous. However, there was no hot water in the room, and the front desk was unattended. After a long travel day, the expected hot shower was not realized.

Overnight stop on way to ferry.

The hotel was a little dated. The room we had was very large and comfortable.The restaurant food was ok but the tables were sticky - not cleaned down properly. There was a small tour group staying but the staff managed to provide good service in the restaurant. Close to the ferry port to Islay so a very transient overnight stop.

Clean but Tired

The food was great, as was the location. The hotel is tired, and in need of a refurb. We had the family room. The toilet door did not have a lock, and the latch didnt match up with the door keep plate. So when having a shower, we had to keep the door shut with towels. The shower was poor as well, not very strong, not much pressure. Apart from that, the room was clean and comfortable, and we got good nights sleep. We were in room 17.

Room was clean and beds were comfortable. Breakfast was reasonable. The shower was extremely poor, if you want a warm shower the water just 'trickles' out, and when you try to get more power it turns cold. Also in my room the toilet flush handle had obviously been replaced, but it didnt work very well and took a few attempts before toilet flushed properly. The first impression of the hotel isn't so good because the front door looks shabby and in need of repair. A wee bit more attention to the maintenance and decor of this hotel would really improve it, but as it is at the moment I think its overpriced.

Book with caution, we wouldn't return.

Disappointed to note the exterior is a lot more ran down than the photos depicted. A vending machine meets you as you enter the door. We booked a double room, sea view and jetted bath through hotels.com It turns out jetted baths in the photos with the coloured lights, no longer exist and the photos on Hotels.com are out of date. The hotels hands were tied so I took this up with the website. Given room 5, clean enough with a new carpet. The TV remote was spotless. Few things could be improved: 1.The mattress. I've stayed in bothies, tents, 5 star hotels and caravans and this is the WORST mattress ever. So hard you feel bones in your body you didn't know existed. Awful sleep both nights. 2.Basic Nescafe in room with no decaff. One spoon and pack of biscuits between two 3.Plug access hindered by new top to desk 4.Unclear which is showergel or shampoo as unlabelled but used my own. Grouting and mastic needs redone, no toilet roll holder 5.Ironingboard needs replaced 6.Dangerous door from our corridor downstairs opens straight onto a step 7.Disappointing bland breakfast. Cooked was fixed choices, porridge comes plain regardless if you order salt or honey as 'its easier' for the chef. Continental was cereal and toast. No yoghurt or fruit 8. Coffee at breakfast in dispenser was rotten 9. Chain on room door didn't have a keeper Wouldn't have booked if we knew the true state of the place as photos deceiving. At £220 for 2 nights, would expect a little better

Little disappointed 😔

The hotel is old but could do with a little maintenance i.e. towel radiator in bathroom not working, lightbulbs missing and could really do with a clean up around skirtings and around the entrance to the hotel.

Sadly booked rooms for a couple of nights in February. Rooms were freezing, reported and nothing changed for 2nd night. Shower in room 1 also ran cold water only. Shower in room 2, was not a shower! Only a trickle of water came out. We will not book again.

Could do better.

This is a tired hotel that is trying to do its best. Lovely location on the loch and gives easy access to places of interest. Reception is not covered from late afternoon and in the morning, there is a phone number to use in case of emergency. Food ok. If you have pets with you be prepared to be a 3rd rate guest. Table not laid out for you, the only tables to use are at the entrance to the guest lounge or next to the swing doors to the kitchen. So not a relaxing time. We were there for 2 nights, and our room was not serviced after our first night. Not what i would expect for a three star hotel. I would suggest you check out other hotels in the area, for a few £s more we could have stayed at Stonefield castle, a few miles down the road set in its own grounds!!! We live and learn!@@

Comfy hotel!

Had an overall great stay! Very clean and nice staff. The only thing that’s negative worth mentioning was that it took a very long time to get hot water in the shower and the tub. And after the hot water was running in the tub there was no way to get the cold water running. Except for this, a comfy bed and nice breakfast made this a nice stop along the way.

We were there for 3 nights. Room was clean but way going to restaurant was disgusting, carpet is muddy. There was no hot water in the bathroom/toilet, had to use tap ice cold water for freshen up in the morning, informed to staff said they can't do anything the engineers will come after 12 noon. Rooms are very noisy can hear even toilet flush and jumping and all from other rooms

Enjoyable stay at Grey Gull Hotel

The Grey Gull Hotel is an old building and requires much renovation. However our bedroom was large, clean and we enjoyed our one night stay. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful. Would certainly return especially at the price it is at present.
