What Tripadvisor says:

"The hotel was very good from start to finish. Rooms were extremely clean. Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Views were stunning. What more would anyone want."

“Just back from having a weekend at Chandlers (part of an itison offer). We would go back in a minute. Family owned and the couple who run it are very friendly. Rooms are great with wonderful views. Great range of menu and food is delicious.”

“My boyfriend and I also spent 2 nights here, thanks to the itison voucher deal (2 nights B&B). Loved the setting: away from the main town but still near enough to visit, with amazing views across the Firth of Clyde.”
