    Good

    We had special permission from Bute and Argyll Council to take our van over to the island. It was left on the quay with our permit prominently displayed. The managers of the hotel were very helpful, transferring all our luggage, while we made our way there, with the dog and mobility scooter. The newly created ensiuite wet room was greatly appreciated. The weather was mixed but we could enjoy the changing views across the Sound to Mull from the spacious lounge The roads round the island were a pleasure to scoot along due to the absence of cars apart from those of island residents
