"Ever since discovering Ceabhar and its hospitable, ever cheery owners, Polly and Duncan we've been back again and again. What draws us? Yes, the food, but first the welcome. The warmth and passion that these two surf loving Geordies bring to their cooking and their service. They love what they do and never rest on their laurels. They'll chat with you, give advice on where the good waves will be tomorrow, and make you feel like Tiree has always been your home as well as theirs. And then the food... Polly's pizza, tick. (The best pizza dough this side of Rome. Spicy chorizo starter, tick. (Our daughter pre orders to make sure there's some left. But the range is as wide as Polly's imagination local produce (Duncan will nip into the garden for fresh herbs as the meal is cooking , fabulous meat, a developing line in gluten free mains and desserts and all accompanied by carefully chosen Scottish beers, including in 2016 for the first time, Duncan's own brews. There is in all this a blend of comforting home cooking with real attention to detail. But if the food and the welcome is always of an incredibly high standard (and remember, this is a small island we're talking about , the setting is second to none on the edge of the Atlantic, with the crags of Kenovara nearby and Skerryvore winking in the distance. Get a real Tiree sunset and you won't want to move from your seat. And why should you? Just ask Duncan for another beer."

"This is a pleasant little Hotel, although at first we had trouble finding the car park (its up the side and round the back. And we had abit of trouble finding the entrance. We thought with the Carpark being where it was at the back of the house, there might be an entrance to the hotel there also. There wasn't! After trying every back door in the heavy rain carrying suitcases we had to walk down the hill and around to the front of the house to find 2 doorways. Check in was swift and easy. Our room was lovely and warm and modern. The shower room looked as if it was recently refurbished. Towels were tired looking and thin, the bed was comfy enuf, but the pillows were flat and not up to much. Kettle tea bags etc an biscuits were good. The walls are very thin, we could hear ppl chatting in the next room. We stayed for dinner, it was nice but not worth £18 for fish chips, very over priced for pub grub quality! The service was good tho and quite speedy. The breakfast was included for our 1 night stay, I had a full Scottish breakfast, it was such a letdown as it wasn't freshly cooked, everything was reheated (microwaved) dry, the bacon was like cardboard, mushroom so dry they had shrivelled up and were like rubber. The potato scone was dry and stiff as a board, I couldn't cut it with a knife, nor the bacon. And talking about knives, the strangest shaped handles that were already awkward to use let alone trying to cut a stoating breakfast. The haggis black pudding was just a greasy flop on the plate. The poached egg was edable as it was cooked fresh. The orange juice was dilute juice. There was fresh fruit salad that was nice an Croissants too. For a visitor experiencing their first Scottish breakfast it was a real let down. All in all it was a cosy clean hotel, but not the cheapest for what we got, and I'd defo avoid the fry up ooft.. Also worth mentioning the front door of the hotel stays unlocked all night unstaffed, it felt abit unsafe as anyone can walk in from the street, even if there is a small camera, who's sitting up watching that all night? No one!.. So cosy room, but overpriced food horrible SCOTTISH breakfast fry up (with no toast) let this place down and spoiled my experience. I didn't complain as I couldn't do with the drama first thing in the morning. But I won't be returning."

"We dined here two nights ago on our last night in Loch Lomond. We had pre booked given the situation with Covid and that there weren't a lot of other restaurants/hotels in the area we were staying to get to on foot. We were not disappointed. I have read other reviews which are negative and I can't understand them. The restaurant staff were very accommodating allowing us to come a couple of hours earlier to have a drink. We sat outside overlooking the Loch amazing views, and then when it was getting a bit chilly we came in and sat in the lobby. The adherence to social distancing and health and safety was very good, they had a one way system and all of the staff wore masks when walking about and serving. It is a lovely venue. When we went into the main restaurant to eat, we were aware there were probably a lot less people in than usual due to the fact that they will be limited on numbers. That said, it was full, and there was a lovely cosy atmosphere. The food however was the crowning glory. The menu itself had the usual mains (fish and chips, burgers etc) but they had specials and we ordered two steaks, with a pepper sauce and black pudding. They were absolutely beautiful, cooked just right and so tasty. The starter prawns that we shared were so tasty as well. We felt it was reasonably priced for the venue and type of food we ordered and you could eat cheaper if you wanted something like a burger, however we were treating ourselves as it was our last night. I can't find any complaint and I can only say the staff were extremely helpful and I feel for them given what must be quite stressful times having to adhere to the Covid regulations and have less diners due to that. An earlier comment about no draft beer again I don't think this is something that is a major fault and my partner (who loves his draft lager) was quite happy to have a larger bottle of one of those available. I cannot say anything negative about this place and I would definitely recommend dining here."
