Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views of Tarbert harbor and the rooms are cozy with a great view of the harbor. The service needs improvement as we found a staff member asleep on the second night. The location is perfect, right on the harbor front, though we faced issues with a canceled ferry. The dining experience includes hot dishes cooked to order, featuring Angus beef. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The barge rooms right on the water were a unique experience, with the window open to enjoy the fresh sea breeze and lovely touches that made it an unforgettable stay overlooking the Harbour. However, I did encounter some challenges with a member of the staff who needed improvement in their customer service, and it was quite surprising to find them asleep when I went downstairs on the second night. Despite these minor issues, the overall experience was delightful.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel offers stunning views over the harbor and is centrally located in picturesque Tarbert. The service was a bit lacking as I found a staff member asleep one night, but other than that, it was a pleasant experience.
The hotel offers stunning views over the harbor and features twin beds in the rooms. The Wi-Fi connection provided was reliable. Despite encountering a need for improvement in customer service, the staff was generally friendly. The location is unbeatable, right on the harbor front in the heart of the town. The dining experience included hot dishes cooked to order, enhancing the authentic dishes available. The facilities were commendable.
I was amazed by the stunning view over the harbor while staying on the barge right on the water. The rooms offer great views, but there is a need to work on their customer service to enhance the overall experience. The hotel's location in the center of picturesque Tarbert is truly exceptional, and the dining experience with hot dishes cooked to order was delightful.
