Kilmartin Hotel

Kilmartin Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The property has a commanding view down the facing valley and is super conveniently placed on the main road. Walked into hotel (bar entrance) and straight into a busy bar area with people chatting, laughing, eating and clearly having a happy time. Room basic but clean, everything worked, super good night's sleep after a couple of pints of Jarl and a tasty hot salmon pasta. Breakfast generous and spot on. Very welcoming and friendly place!"

"It is electronic entry so we only so staff when they delivered our breakfast to the room in the morning. There are plenty of options close by for evening meal. Parking is close by at the harbour as you cannot stop outside the guest house as it is on the corner of the main road."
