The Grey Gull Hotel

The location overlooking the Loch, but still next to a busy road. The bed was comfy.

On arrival, couldn’t get parked in the small car park as full of trades vans (typical guests). The whole building outside and in is very tired and run down. Reception horrible and unwelcoming. Carpets thread bear and dirty throughout. Decor cheap nasty not-tasteful faux “Scottish” touristy tat. Staff not very friendly a bit quiet going through the motions. Rooms have been part renovated very poorly with cheap items you could buy out of B&M (discount store). Carpet still old. Musty old smell throughout. The room I purchased (double with sea view- with pictures) was not the room I was given. They obviously just put pictures of the best possible room in booking .com. I was actually given a tiny dark and dingy single at the back of the hotel overlooking a car park. Breakfast worst I’ve ever had, highly ultra processed cheap discount store badly cooked with a terrible choice. Inedible. This Hotel is extremely overpriced, should be a 3* at best- maybe hostel status and price to match.

The position of the hotel is wonderful.

Bins on the drive way to welcome guests. Grubby entrance, dirty carpets, bathroom and bedroom. Evening meal and breakfast woefully.

Excellent food and staff

Bellissimo hotel, non fatevi ingannare dall'esterno e dalla posizione sulla strada principale. Camera fantastica con vasca da bagno vista mare e letto molto comodo. Bagno di dimensioni perfette completo di tutto anche di phon. Colazione super!

Called them 43 times no answer arriving late due to storm Amie travelling 12 hours which should only take 3hours room very dirty and very cold no heating and breakfast was definitely not edeble cold not even fully cooked. So basically paid for a room for 5hours sleep no breakfast for a £125 rip off sorry

The breakfast was lovely and catered for Gluten free. Staff were polite, knowledgeable and available

We didn’t like anything about it when we arrived outside to a run down shabby building

We booked it for one night our room was on the third floor of a rundown shabby hotel we declined the room as my partner could not make the stairs they said there was no other rooms available for them to offer us they would not give us our money back while we were having discussions a couple came in looking for a room we said give them our room and he said he couldn’t ?? Which after talking to booking .com he could have easily

Location

We booked 2 rooms both smelled awful and the bathroom was full of mould. The carpet was not fitted and grip rods were exposed, overall very neglected Unable to upload video to site
