    Nice shower- shame about the washbasin!

    Very small...but probably in line with the price paid at the end of the day. Rather scruffy initial impressions with approach being round the back of the property then up concrete steps which entails passing the bins and the local Co-op store unloading area. Bathroom with its excellent shower and acceptable loo seriously let down by its ludicrously tiny handbasin - a veritable masterpiece of miniaturisation - which renders impossible any attempt at having a wash without completely covering the floor with water.

    Convenient for the centre of Tarbert with nearby on street parking.

    The entrance is shocking. Filthy dirty stairs. Door very difficult to unlock. Bins over flowing with old food, booze cans and cigarette buts

    Big spacious room. Nice decor.

    A minor thing but the approach to the property from the co op carpark feels a bit un cared for, but thats probably out of the owners control.

    Centrally located in Tarbert, room 1 is large and comfortable. Tarbert is a very attractive little town well worth visiting.

    Unusual set up for coffees etc outside of the bedroom, with no place to wash dishes. Table in dining area appears broken and fridge/freezer needs a good clean. Whilst it is a great location for the ferry, it's very noisy as is right on the main road and traffic runs past all night. Could do with some lighting along pathway in winter.

    Very comfortable and spacious bedroom. Large bathroom with amazing shower. A great location for Kennacraig ferry terminal. Bedroom areas and bathroom very clean. Lovely plush carpet.

    I arrived late a night and the stairs up to the property could benefit from a light also in the dark the keys holes weren’t the easiest to operate.

    Room was spacious, had everything I needed for a one night stay. Really can’t complain about the room or facilities for the price. For somewhere to stay after getting a late ferry back from Islay before driving home the next day, this place was ideal.

    The whole layout was a bit strange, like we couldn’t use the kitchen but we had dishes etc, so I don’t think you could stay for more than one night.

    Walls are thin and got woken up by a co-op delivery early in the morning.

    Location was good, place was easy to find and Shamsul's communication was clear. Check-In and Check-out were easy and at a decent time. Room was a good size for a night and the ensuite although small was fit for purpose.

    I would suggest putting a sofa in the dining room as extra comfort plus a few more kitchen items needed like a tin opener but this is a new business so I think that the owner has done a great job

    Brilliant location and so convenient as could come and go as we pleased. Good kitchen too and dining area - everything a cyclist could need!
