"Given that the Ardshiel is an institution in Campbeltown we were excited to stay but other than the whisky bar (incredible selection with very fair pricing) we were underwhelmed by the food, service and especially the rooms (renovated, but to the bare minimum standards with very uncomfortable beds). In the end if we'd gotten some cheer or a smile from at least one staff member that could have helped us to overlook the lackluster food and rooms, but everyone was so stiff and dour that we were relieved to only be staying one night. Summary: amazing whisky selection but recommended to eat and sleep elsewhere."

"Gran restaurante, muy buena comida. Coaktail de gambas era encantador y el filete estaba cocinado a la perfección. Gran servicio amable y Rachel en la recepción fue muy servicial. La única decepción leve para mí fue la Panna Cotta. Y alguien realmente necesita hacer algo con la lista de reproducción. Backstreet Backstreets back y Another Level Freak Me en un bucle mezclado con una compilación de lo peor de la y No. Simplemente No. Esa lista de reproducción es completamente inconsistente con todo el hotel y el restaurante. Aparte de eso, lo disfrutamos mucho y volveremos."

"On our last day here, killing time before the ferry, decided to try luncheon here. No expectations either way. And we were TOTALLY wowed it was just excellent. Trying not to put too many superlatives in this review, but it was really, really ace. We had a lovely table by the window overlooking the harbour where you could see dog walkers, children in wellies, crabbing, and little boats coming and going. Classic Islay. Then I have to mention the food. Jeez, it was top notch, and huuuuuuuge portions. I don’t think we’ve ever had four such consistently generous and fulfilling portions before. We had the scallops (massive, juicy, plentiful , the Crofter’s Platter, which was cheeses, hams, sausage rolls, salad, bread, chutneys; the soup massive bowl, loadsa crispy sourdough bread, and the fish and chips which was so big it draped over the plate! All delicious. Our guy, Andrew, was superb, so attentive and smiley and always bringing us more things, spoons, drinks, more bread, spoons, he was great. And we had a lovely chat with the very friendly and nice proprietor. She was wonderful. Really seemed to care about the place and her team. She told us all about the hotel and stuff it was really cool. We will most certainly come back here next time. You can’t necessarily get the best table every time, but we won’t mind if we don’t! : Oh, also, lovely clean loos!"

"Stopped for takeaway breakfast rolls on our way home from a week staying near Campbeltown, what a lovely wee place, nice decor, lovely staff, really lovely older man working there, best breakfast rolls ever, delicious, hot, perfectly cooked. Wish we had tried it earlier in the week because everywhere else we ate was rubbish, avoid the Home Wok, worst Chinese ever, they don't even know how to make chicken fried rice"

"An absolute disgrace! We made reservations for the evening a few months ahead at 6.30. We were suddenly requested to come at 5. We told the owner that that was not possible, after some bizarre emails we did arrive a bit earlier than our original plan, around 6, looking forward to a nice evening amongst a group of friends, who also were eating there that night. But we got astonned as immediately we were told to leave within an hour!!! We told that that was unacceptable, and got the reply that it was ok. But it clearly was not... The entrees were put on the table within 5 minutes, the mains immediately after that. Entrees still on the table.... further we were fully ignored. After we finished the main they cleared the table and threw the check on it?!? I have never ever been threated this rude in any restaurant ever. With tears in my eyes we left while our friends came in to enjoy the extend dinner evening... And besides, the place was filthy, lady toilet not working, male toilet dirty and sticky ánd the food was quite bad.. the chicken was extremely dry, the spicy dish was not spicy and all courses were mostly sauce with only a few grams of chicken/prawn. The water was warm and there was no coffee or tea. This place is a disgrace and should be avoided, shame on you Taj Mahal!"
