Guest ratings and detailed reviews

Feedback about West Loch House from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
West Loch House is frequently praised for its convenient location close to the Kennacraig ferry terminal for Islay and Arran. Guests often highlight the spacious, comfortable, and nicely decorated rooms, many with fantastic loch views, alongside excellent roomy showers. Breakfast is another standout, often served in a sunny conservatory and featuring options like Stornaway Black Pudding; however, some guests have found certain rooms, particularly shower rooms, to be on the smaller side. The hotel's location also makes it a perfect jump-off point for exploring further south and Tarbert.

A Good Stay Near Kennacraig

perfect location considerable assistance wonderfully cooked breakfast refreshing absence
The location provided a perfect jump-off point for the Islay ferry at Kennacraig. The drive was quick. The owners offered considerable assistance and kindness. The breakfast was wonderfully cooked, and everything tasted delicious. I found the absence of WiFi in the rooms strangely refreshing. It encouraged disconnecting.
The bed. It was a minor distraction.
