The rooms were okay for a one night stay, however they need refurbishment, as they are dated and some things no longer work. The staff were friendly and served the purpose for us, as it was a last minute booking.

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.

Good people and facilities.

Stayed in room 1 for a business trip. Really nice and helpful staff. It looks like it is slowly being modernised as it is an old building but facilities are good with a great location. Definitely want to return in future for leisure with my partner.

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.

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..🙂

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.

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.
