Excellent hotel and loved the position it was stunning.

This hotel was amazing. The property, dining options, and just the room in general were all so wonderful. Will definitely be staying again!

Problem with check in. When trying to register they said they expected us the day before claiming that someone had contacted the hotel asking if we could check in a day earlier. Fortunately I was able to show the staff my Hotel booking with the correct date. The matter was resolved but had caused us a bit of a panic before the staff member said that there was a room available for us. The hotel is a bit tired looking in places but the breakfast was

Beautiful sunrise and sunsets along the coast and a very charming pub from the old course right next door.

The views from our cottage was amazing. Too hear the waves from my room was so soothing.
Linda, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Really looking forward to our stay at the hotel , but we’re very disappointed . Both my wife and myself are in our 70 s . After checking in we found the room and en suit to have a really damp smell . We found three dead flys on the window sill . The window which would nt open , due to the frame being swollen and flaking paint . Wallpaper peeling and stained around windows in both areas . T.V . Not working. We decided right away to cut our Two night stay to the one night . No refund of the £175 .50 per night stay . Never be back !

8/10 Very good

At the time of our visit the hotel restaurant was closed in the evenings. No dinner was served. Instead, we had our evening meal in an adjoining pub where good ‘pub’ food was served.
Bruce, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is fantastic and hotel is very comfortable but very expensive for what you get - even if it is at a corporate rate, it is still expensive. Staff and service were particularly poor during breakfast. Staff gave the distinct impression that they couldn't be bothered and were keen to get rid of us as quickly as possible. Some serious training required to up standards - especially attitude to customers who have paid a high price for the experience!. It was very disappointing in that respect - standards have fallen. Used to be much better.
Malcolm, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stayed many times. Room was really good. However, the whole place needs attention. Flaki g paint, dirty carpets in all areas, worn in the room. Out towel rail in the bathroom was in bits and unusable. Severe lack of sockets in our room. Food in adjacent “pub” - fish was good. However, chips were from frozen and not pleasant. Salad garnish was old and limp as was coleslaw - had been lying out for ages. This all lead us to not having breakfast, which, at around £18.00 we did not wish to chance. Far too expensive. Staff at reception in morning was lovely - Caroline I think. Very pleasant and helpful. Made our departure so much nicer than our arrival.

Ugadale comfort

Unbelievably friendly assistance at check-in from Jo. I had booked the wrong set of rooms for our family of five, which she resolved in a very efficient and accommodating manner. Unexpectedly spacious rooms with gorgeous views. It beat our lofty expectations, and we will definitely hope to stay here again when we can return to Macrihanish in the future.

Beautiful part of the country and a comfortable stay. Good facilities. Had a great stay despite the weather!

We loved everything about our experience at the Ugadale: authentic and unkept hotel, golf across the road, quiet and serene space. Magical!
Yona, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Die Umgebung ist großartig. Der Golfclub (allerdings nicht der, welcher zum Hotel gehört) ist gleich gegenüber. Frühstück und Wifi sind gut. Man kann das Zimmerfenster öffnen. Das Bad hatte genug Ablagefläche. Der Pub ist ok, aber nichts besonderes.

Lovely hotel in a great location! The staff were fantastic would stay there again

4/10 Fair

When we arrived we were given two rooms which both had leaks due to holes and damp in the bathroom ceilings. Tired and run down hotel.

fantastic setting

really nice hotel in a fantastic setting and we really enjoyed our stay , very helpful and friendly staff ,the only kinda negatives I could mention was the fact they have a beautiful lounge bar but only use it for breakfast ,and you have to go to the pub for lunches , dinner or a drink ,also the same group own the golf club but you can't go there for a meal either

6/10 Good

Disappointing

Arrived to discover restaurant was not open due to staff shortages, cost b&b £209 but room small and view to rear ie parking. Shower excellent however. Staff very helpful but very disappointed that required to get mini bus to Royal Hotel Campbeltown to eat which I do not recommend.

Overnight in Machrihanish

This was a lovely hotel. Full of golfers and holidaymakers . Our room was very nice, not much of a view but seeing the sun and friendly staff was nice.

6/10 Good

Hotel was a bit old fashioned. Disappointing that the dining room was closed and we were not informed until we arrived.

Golf hotel by stunning beach with great views

We stayed 4 nights. Receptionist was excellent, and found us a double aspect room with brilliant views. The room was very large and comfortable, with a luxurious bathroom. Unfortunately, the main dining room was not open due to COVID-19, and the bar food in the linked pub next door was pedestrian. Food at the partner Royal Hotel in Campbeltown (to which we were taken the following evening in a paid taxi) was more interesting.

8/10 Very good

Lovely old building, good lift, comfortable room and bed, good breakfast in bar, good parking Staff helpful but sparse, no luggage porter, no newspapers, very poor Internet connection, all meals apart from breakfast in Old Clubhouse, no sense of other guests. Not sure if charge of £200 per night plus more at weekends, plus £10 for breakfast justified in present circumstances.
