Castlebay Hotel

We booked an evening meal here on a Thursday night. We were given a good table at the front of the restaurant with a view over the harbour and castle. The service was good and so was the food and drink. All local produce where possible, seafood and lamb recommended.

We stayed for one night, because we had to catch the early ferry to Oban. Car parking isn't easy, especially for people with mobility issues. We received a warm welcome from the receptionist, who also worked in the restaurant. We had a very nice and tasty meal for dinner, and due to the early start the following morning, we were offered a packed breakfast. It was an adequate offering. The rooms are not modern or 'boxy' but they offer everything that you need. Overall, we were happy with our stay.

Had a magical 2 night stay in May over the bank holiday. The staff were exceptional - always there to help, and nothing was too big an ask. Everyone was really welcoming and friendly and it had a lovely atmosphere. I slept unbelievably well and the staff helped us arrange hire bikes so we biked around the entire island. The food was delicious, both breakfasts were top notch, I really recommend both the haddock and the Scottish full English. The owner makes beautiful ceramics which all the meals are served on / in - it’s such a great touch. Thank you - we will be back !!
