Faulty Towers does West Coast of Scotland!
The name tells the story, an old Inn, with lots of interesting aspects, a seasonal staff group and an excellent location.
If you’re used to corporate banal’ness this is not the place for you. If you want a unique experience in an outstanding location and can live without large TV’s and pumping music this is a lovely place to be based for walks, beaches, mountains and sea trips.
Would we come back - yes we would!
Put aside the slew of “ must fill in” e mails prior to stay ( enough to put many people off) and just chill and enjoy an outstanding location and sleep soundly after clean air, clean skies and not a care in the world!

Bed super comfy and towels lovely and soft. Decor and space in our particular room not great. Supper food really good, breakfast a little underwhelming. Would have felt nicer to have experienced a few more smiles from some staff

Great location with cosey pub. Not great room.
Beautiful location across from the old harbour. Great for walks in lovely scenery, cycling and beach. Decent restaurant for dinner. A busy Saturday night and a little understaffed. Breakfast was very disorganized despite having to preorder the night before for a set time. Everyone waited for coffee and food (help yourself buffet) also ran out several times. Seems could be easily fixed with some management and planning.
Room was very outdated, but comfortable and clean.

Felt like a toxic work environment with staff unhappy with each other which contributed to poor customer service.

One of the most expensive accommodations on the 500 mile loop and it did not meet my expectations. Front desk should be a bit more flexible on checking in hours, bathroom was quite small and outdated, also I think the breakfast badly needs improvements. Other than that, lovely people, waitresses at dinner were very nice and the food was quite good.

Wonderful property. One of the boys forgot his wallet in his room, the manager mailed it overnight to our hotel a couple days ahead, arrived as expected. No charge to us, service above and beyond. This is a hotel we will stay in again for sure.
