It's a really special place. From the moment we walked in it was clear that there was a carefully considered and cultivated atmosphere - the staff were warm and friendly and the ambience was beautifully curated. The food (dinner and breakfast) was outstanding and sophisticated without losing connection to the location or being overly experimental. Just really thoughtful and tasty food. The staff were also really friendly, we ended up chatting with the owner at the bar after our meal and enjoyed being amongst the locals in the pub too! The rooms are really comfortable and well stocked. It came with all the facilities you need for a comfortable and generous stay, and it was clean. Homemade shortbread was a welcome touch too!

Love the Colintraive! The location is absolutely stunning, the staff are friendly and the food is good. This is the third or fourth time staying over there and it never gets tired.

This time around, the food was a little tired - we ate towards the end of the night and you could tell. It wasn't awful by any means, but by the C's usual standards it felt a bit like it had been hanging around for a while. Otherwise, no problems at all.

Lovely comfortable small in where you are made to feel extremely welcome and nothing is too much trouble. You go for the food and the views, both are exceptional. The menu has something for everyone whilst being compact, the quality of the produce is superb, and worth the wait. Great wine list too. Great night’s sleep. Beautiful sunsets or a rainbow - the weather is not within the owners’ control!

Nothing!

First class food from Chef/Proprietor's team. Excellent, cheerful staff. Cask ale from Fyne Ales brewery in superb condition. Imaginative wine list. Jolly locals made us feel most welcome. Colintraive's community is special and its EV chargers at their Heritage Centre are a great facility (once you get the hang of the Pod Point payment system).

Weather on our second day!

Really nice, bespoke hotel. Very friendly welcome and beautiful double aspect room. All staff attentive and professional. They made us feel really at home on a stormy night. Lovely furniture and boutiquey touches in the room. We had a lovely meal and their reputation for good food is very well deserved. Dog friendly but, if you don't like dogs, they are only allowed in the bar so you can eat dog free in the restaurant. We brought our border collie with us and ate in the bar. Staff were lovely to him and he was made welcome. Location is perfect - quiet and relaxing, with a nice walk along a very quiet road by the coastline. Pretty community garden nearby and a very interesting museum. Thank you to owner Clare for giving us a room upgrade and we will be booking this room in the future. Breakfast was excellent too.

Right from the start this is a wonderful place to stay - beautiful, peaceful location and a lovely old building. The welcome from the girl manning reception/ serving dinner was truly exceptional as was all of the service we had there. We had a lovely, comfortable room with a great shower. The food was delicious and the dining room is lovely with wonderful views. Can't recommend this place enough. There was even home made shortbread in the room. So nice!

I can't think of anything.

The location of the hotel is stunning. We had a room with sea view and spotted some porpoises and an otter from the window. The room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. All staff were extremely friendly and the food in the restaurant was exceptional.

Only slight negative was the water pressure from the shower which was pretty low, but I suspect this is due to the remote location and probably not much the hotel can do to improve it.

The Colintraive is a jewel of a place. Beautiful setting, lovely room, wonderful food, and friendly staff. Our visit was relaxing and all our needs were catered for. Every single member of staff was super lovely and went above and beyond for everyone to have the best experience. The restaurant is incredible - everything is so fresh - and there's even real ale in bar. We'll be visiting again very soon. Thank you so much!

Lovely cosy room and such an ideal location for the ferry and exploring the surrounding area. The staff were all cheery, helpful and friendly. I have dietary restrictions and for dinner chef cooked me an amazing off-menu risotto which was delicious and which really appreciated. Also offered to put extra delicious touches on my morning porridge - thank you chef. My partner loved his food too - said it was really excellent.

Breakfast was preordered the night before from a wide range of fresh food and this was excellent. We enjoyed our evening meals very much but staying for 3 nights meant that a number of choices were limited. Quality was top class.

Nothing really. The staff were very helpful and always seemed happy. They were!
