"I had been to this restaurant before and enjoyed it, so I decided to come back. However, it seems like there has been a change in ownership or chef since my last visit. The menu was very limited with not much to choose from. I decided to order soup after seeing the other dishes coming out looking unappetizing. Unfortunately, the chicken was cold, the vegetables and salad were soggy, and the chips were undercooked. What really put me off was when I saw the chef picking food off the floor and putting it on a plate while I was in the restroom. Fortunately, we had already received our food at that point. I would suggest avoiding this restaurant as the food is not up to par and the staff seem disinterested. It's a shame because the location is lovely. With proper management and attentive staff, this restaurant could be much better."

"We thoroughly enjoyed the scallops as our starter; they were cooked to perfection, just like the main courses of sea bass and grilled halibut. However, the dessert, which consisted of rose water ice cream and Turkish delight, was somewhat bland in comparison. The staff were attentive and efficient, though a bit inexperienced, but they made a genuine effort to enhance our experience. The restaurant was not busy, with an acceptable level of background chatter, although the music was a bit too loud. I plan to return and would recommend this restaurant to others."

"Staying in Campbeltown, a local person reccomended the Kintyre at Ugadale, having been to a whisky event early evening and not wishing my partner to have to drive, we initially thought it would not be possible. To then find that the hotel/restaraunt offer a mini bus sevice at our convenience from and back to town it seemed like a good idea. Picked up by a very nice chap in the mini bus, on time, agreed a t time with him for return and arrived for an 8pm booking. Excellent surroundings, decor, staff were cheerful and efficient food was superb wine was very good and not over priced, bill was more than acceptable for two excellent courses and wine. Scallops and potted shrimp starters were beautifully presented and excellent, Carolines fish was both plentiful and perfectly cooked, my fillet steak was as good as I have had anywhere and cooked perfectly. Portions meant the sweet menu was not required. Drink in the bar as we waited for the driver. He had suggested 9:30, we said 10, he was right. However beer was good and the staff delightful. (hope you enjoy the concert Chloie) A good solution if you are looking for an excellent meal in a special sort of place, wouldn't hesitate to go again even if it was just to try the fish and chip and burger options on the very varied menu."
