What guests think

At The Millcroft Hotel, travellers highlight warm, welcoming staff and striking sea views, alongside generally good breakfasts and a handy on-site pub, while noting practical constraints like many stairs, a hillside approach, and limited parking.

Rooms range from compact to spacious suites with modern bathrooms and kitchenettes in some, but recurring issues include cold rooms on arrival, occasional hot water problems, and minor maintenance niggles. Service is friendly yet can feel stretched, with strict check in times, periods when reception is unmanned before opening, and slow meal service reported. Overall, it suits travelers who value friendly service over polished amenities.

I book this property in reviews and probably my own fault, but arrived early to checkin and was greated with we don’t check in until 3.45pm. Asked is bar open and response was not until 5pm. Asked where could we go in meantime as it was cold and rainy and he suggested lunch at another place. Having lunch thought about it and actually did not stay and instead drove 4.5hrs to Oban to find a nice place and room. Would suggest that the hotel is run by tired people and could not recommend this based on my experience.

We stayed two nights at this hotel and it was a good place to stay. The parking lot is limited but the hotel is not too big so I don't think that will be an issue. It's located right across the way from the ocean so it has nice views. We really enjoyed the attached pub. The food was decent. The room was on the small side but had everything that you need. Overall, a good hotel to stay at!

Property was clean and Duncan was very helpful. He was only staff member we saw as he was on reception and served breakfast. Hotel was set on a hill so ot was a 35 step climb to get up to it or a walk up the hill along the front of it and parking was limited.

Hotel liegt direkt am Wasser. Schöner Ausblick. Zimmer ok, praktisch und sauber. Frühstück war gut, auch das Abendessen dort war lecker und empfehlenswert. Es gibt auch ein eigenes Pub - angenehm, da der Ort sonst nicht so viel zu bieten hat. Waren dort nur für eine Nacht.

Great, comfortable room with a beautiful view across the loch. A pity that the left window wasn’t cleaned and was covered in salt spray. Restaurant menu was unexciting but our fish and chips were fresh and well cooked.

The room was ok, but no toiletries, the shower did not have a door, the tv was very small. Dinner was ok but very expensive for what is was. Breakfast was a continuous walk back and forth to get things, nothing on the table at all, had to ask for coffee refill. The place was generally dusty and grubby

The staff were brilliant although he kept telling us and everyone else he was the only one in running the hotel and the bar. Our room was freezing cold and it felt like the heating had not been on in days, The main external wall was really wet and damp, this would have not been an issue had the heating been used. There were no instructions on how to heat up the room so we used google. Once the room heated up it was fine and no issue, also the following morning the damp had then dried up.

We loved the place. Would stay there again in a heartbeat if back this way again. We ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Those meals were great too. All the staff we encountered were very pleasant. The only issue we had was a cold shower that never did warm up at all. Presumably a maintenance issue that will be corrected in short order.

The rooms have had a make over. We had broken chair in the tv area. We tried to phone about 5 times on our way to property and no answer. The reception is not manned and you can’t get into your room even 15 mins early. Check in 4pm and no one on counter till 4pm. Breakfast starts at 8pm and doors into dining area locked till exactly 8am. Ok but would I stay again? NO
