The restaurant and bar were great. Food very tasty and lovely staff in the dining room. Bar well attended and a good selection of drinks but felt the hotel could do with more staff when busy. The staff we met were delightful.

Our bedroom was a bit tired. It was small but we were aware of that in advance. However the windows rattled and our bedside lights were falling to bits! Bed very comfortable though and bedroom/bathroom clean. It was just small for the price we paid. Communication with the hotel prior to our stay was very difficult. I emailed 4 times without any response. And I called on numerous occasions but got no answer, not even an answering machine which was a bit frustrating. I finally got the manager on the phone and he was helpful.

The breakfast was fine. I didn't realize until day 3 that the hot breakfasts were also included in the price, but there was plenty to eat, even with the "continental". They have a small staff, but they work really hard, and are very pleasant and accommodating. The dining room is light and airy, and there are plenty of sofas in varying rooms, to sit and have a drink. The library is especially nice as well, with lots of windows, comfortable seating, and available books.

As with most hotel rooms, there really isn't a good place to put 2 carry on bags, and 2 backpacks.

Beautiful location on this lovely island. Room was a good size, nicely furnished and very comfortable. The bathroom was very nice - all modern fittings. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was very good. Good shed for storing our bicycles. Stunning views and a lovely garden with outdoor seating. Lots of birds to watch! A few games and books available in a lovely large lounge. TV in the bar.

The hotel has been modernised very nicely throughout but I felt it lacked character in some ways but that's purely my own taste!

Superb location. Spacious comfortable public rooms. Well-equipped bedroom and bathroom. Pleasant staff. Good food and service at breakfast and dinner.

We had a ‘standard’ bedroom which was just about adequate but it was very small and had a very compact bathroom. There was no servicing of our bedroom during our 3 night stay. This was not a big problem but it was not explained to us that this was the policy when we arrived.. and there was no written information about the hotel facilities in our bedroom.

Very nice place, the salmon for dinner is very good. BUT BEWARE!! Don't trust Google Maps or Apple Maps: the hotel is 300 meters straight from the port; I was on a bike and had to do the mountain grand prix twice (there and back) because the GPS sends you to the other side of the island, to The Colonsay Apartments, even if it is indicated as The Colonsay Hotel. The photo is what the GPS says, but the hotel is close to the start.

Colonsay Hotel was gorgeous and the staff were very friendly. We had a wonderful time. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, the common rooms were gorgeous. The food was phenomenal. Breakfast was amazing, incredible oysters at dinner. The island is easy to get around and the hotel is just outside of town but still near the ferry.

Our first room was luscious. The second room had not been remodeled, so it's hard to determine what you will be getting.

Good location just 5 minutes walk up from the harbour, or one minute drive to the parking area. We had a standard bedroom which had a comfortable bed, was nicely furnished, with a good ensuite shower room. The several lounges, sitting areas and bar make the whole place a country house feel and centre of the island community. The restaurant looks out to the bay and serves a wide choice of delicious meals. The staff work very hard to give everyone a great stay.

Nothing.

Comfortable bed, 5 mins walk from ferry, really good breakfast, hot and cold little buffet, nice views on water.

No towels in my room when I arrived but the linen cupboard was open so I could have them. Quite pricey though but only hotel on the island. For the price, there should be blackout curtains as the flowery ones are very thin and do not stop the light at all.

Everything, the relaxed home-from-home comfort of the hotel, delicious food for breakfast and dinner, staff were all very courteous, friendly and attentive. Quiet, comfortable room, with own private bathroom. Liked the gentle Tony Bennett music one evening in the dining room. Very flexible where ferry cancellations and changes affect bookings. Thank you.

Not sure that the music (in French) in the dining room was to everyone’s taste, though I liked it myself.

The hotel is beautifully situated outside the town and near the ferry. Road maps are provided, and the island is easy to get around. The common areas are gorgeous and cozy the restaurant is beautiful and the food was fantastic. Five stars!

Out first room was dreamy, just perfect. The second room had not been remodeled, so you can't predict what you will be getting. It was still very nice.
