For the owner Dag food is medicene. No pre prepared defrosted meals here. His family hand picked many of the ingrediants of our vegeterian breakfast and you could witness that he had made a big effort. Wild mushrooms, locally grown hand picked herbs from the hills of Bute and delitefully sweet lambs leaves adorned our plate, aswell as fresh that... more

Staying over on business I was looking for something different to your typical one-night stay at the Holiday Innn Express et-al......and boy did I find it at the Port Royal. Amiable host Dag kept me well fed and watered as we put the world to right. Later joined by a charming fisherwoman and her fisherman complete with their days of... more

We have now stayed at the Port Royal four times. The food is excellent (it sometimes seems the seafood crawls out of the bay and across the street, it's so fresh) and the bar offers an excellent selection of real ales, cider and perry, plus reasonably priced fine wines. Be warned - it is not the place for burgers, chips... more

Really nice and unexpected pub - not your average Scottish small island pub - great food and beer selection. Really nice people running the place. Don't come here if you want a cheap pint and a pie and chips; do come here if you want something a bit more memorable and out of the ordinary. more

Read all the reveiws for this hotel , so me and the wife went for a 2 night break hoping I had made a wise decision . Firstly we hade to share the WC. The bar prices are extortionate, the breakfast was terrible, the meal at evening was also highly overpriced and the portion somewhat meagre. There was no milk... more

The Port Royal Hotel has great cottage rooms with own entrance and a great customer service. The food and drink is to die for surrounded by a wonderful atmosphere inside and out. Having eaten in many food outlets on the island, I find them badly organised, over priced with appalling service. Thankfully 'The Royal Port Hotel' can deliver good service,... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at The Port Royal Hotel for two weeks this August and I have to write and say that this beautiful location and the fine food make it ideal for a peaceful holiday in Western Scotland. We enjoyed the walks and bike-rides, and in the evening there was always a fine feast cooked freshly in The... more

What a wonderfully welcoming place to stay. My toddler and I stayed for a couple of nights and we both couldn't have had a more relaxing holiday. Such a friendly couple running the place and they just couldn't do enough for us in making the rooms comfortable and ensuring we had enough food to eat and more importantly food that... more

My wife and I visited the hotel twice -- in March and then in August, both times for a weekend getaway. It's about 2 hours from Glasgow, but very much worth the trip. Very calm and relaxing atmosphere, good hikes around Port Bannatyne, weather permitting of course. If there's one reason to stay at Port Royal -- it's the food... more
