After a long journey with a terrible overnight stop at Hamilton Services Motel, Carol and Michael's home couldn't be more delightful. Carol's love of books means that the Guest's Lounge is crammed with books on the local wildlife and history and the guests are welcome to take than down and read. The lounge is a lovely place to while away... More

Absolutely wonderful place to stay ! Such a warm friendly welcome with in a tastefully furnished home. I use the word home deliberately because that is what it feels like. Nothing is too much trouble for Carol and on our one wet morning a treat of coffee and home baking was a lovely surprise served in the guests' lounge. There... More

Disappointing experience at what could be an excellent Guest House. The location of the Guest House couldn't be better. The bedroom and bathroom were very clean. However bathroom fittings bit dated, and shower thermostat in our room was not working properly so almost got burnt with scalding water, and then just about froze when I turned it down. Breakfast was... More

Reading the other reviews here I have to assume that we're just not Caol-Ithe people!! The "welcome" was basic ie "here are your rooms, what do you want for breakfast?" After our long journey a cup of tea would have been so welcome - but we saw nothing of our hosts until breakfast. There was no hot water in the... More

We originally intended to stay in Pennygael but after a mixup with the booking had to find a place to stay at very short notice. Fortunately Caol Ithe had a room free and we did not regret a thing. Carol, the host, was very welcoming and greeted us with tea and cake which was a welcome relief after the stress... More

One of the best guest houses we have ever stayed in. Second time at Caol-Ithe and already planning a third visit. We always stay for at least two nights just to guarantee we're relaxed before returning to the city! I am EXTREMELY fussy about cleanliness but Caol-Ithe is spotless. Rooms are so cosy and warm with ridiculously comfortable beds and... More

This is our second stay at Caol Ithe and, if anything, our impressions were even more favourable than after our first stay. Carol and Michael epitomise all that is good about guesthouse owners. The rooms are scrupulously clean and well-presented and the breakfasts are fantastic....enough for even the most gargantuan appetite! We now have a family connection with Fionnphort (our... More

This was our second vist to Caol Ithe. When we arrived we were given coffe/tea and home made cake and asked what we wanted to do. The rooms are clean and spacious. The beds are really comfortable. The breakfasts are great. The position is great for trips to Iona and Staffa (Fingal's Cave). And Carol and Michael are real professionals,... More

The review title says it all. We have been visiting Scotland regularly since 1973, and this was our best stay ever. We arrived around 9 p.m. on our first night, having travelled via Calgary from the Kilchoan-Tobermory ferry. (Well, it looked like a short drive on the map!) As the Keel Row had stopped serving meals, Michael called the hotel... More
