“The Grey Gull presents a genuine Argyll experience, with spotless rooms and surprisingly good food, particularly noted for its fresh flavours. While the building itself shows its age, the genuine warmth of staff like Gavin and the attentiveness to detail, including accommodating dietary needs, shines through, making it a solid base for exploring the region.”
