High Blantyre Trip

Hotel and grounds are rather run down but trying. Bathroom in particular had seen better days. Room was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Our room name was Skye. The view was amazing and it was great watching Ferries come and go. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on food. Is a good 1/2 hour walk into town. However there is a bus stop almost opposite and a local taxi firm. One thing that really needs addressing is the Hotels front door. Our room was directly above it and it slams shut. It was really annoying. You’d just be dropping off and it would go BAM. They really need to fit a soft close hinge. Didn’t get the chance to raise directly with staff as everyone was busy when we left. If you’re after a reasonably priced room with great views and don’t mind a bit of shabby it’s fine.

Room was nice and efficient. Having a small kitchen was a plus. Location is next door to the ferry terminal for those visiting the islands, and paid parking was very convenient. The only negative was the shower, which seemed to have only two settings: ice cold and scalding! But we made do ....

Lovely room. On the first floor near to the A lounge. Excellent continental breakfast and all staff were friendly polite and very helpful.
