Disappointing - my review was twice as long than the above but it seems the length is resticted.
I've stayed at the Grey Gull at least a dozen times over the years. The location is fantastic overlooking the sea in the form of Loch Gilp, the old pier and lighthouse and backing onto the picturesque Crinan Canal - hard to find better! The staff are lovely (but run off their feet) and the rooms immaculate after refurbishments a few years ago. There is a lounge area ajoining a large restaurant and bar area both of which are open to all comers.
As stated I have stayed at the Grey Gull many times over the years, I have an affection for the place and this is the first time I've been less than happy. We stayed the first week of June 2024. This review refers to rooms 2 and 3 which are on the ground floor - useful as the hotel has no lift and the stairways are quite steep. We booked a double room which turned out to be room 2. Room 2 wasn't the smallest room we'd ever stayed in but it's probably the smallest in the hotel which generally has huge spacious rooms. The double bed seemed actually smaller than a double but as neither of us are exactly petite (not huge either) we asked if we could pay for an upgrade. We originally paid just over £500 for 5 nights and the upgrade to room 3 next door came in at another £170. Room 3 was clean and spacious (twice the size as room 2) with King sized and single beds. The WiFi signal was almost non existent however and wouldn't connect to phones or notepad PC (maybe that was our fault...) and the TV wasn't receiving. I fixed the latter myself by manipulating the cable and connectors which hung beneath until getting "the right spot" the TV sprung to life - no big deal. The main problem was that there was barely any shower pressure just a dribble and the water that DID emerge was barely lukewarm. The manager Eleanor apologised and did her very best to get the boiler working properly but we spent the 5 days showering in a cupful (slight exaggeration, it may have been two cupfuls) of tepid water. The water did at least heat up on the last day however the pressure remained moribund. We couldn't even wash up in the sink as the integrated plug wouldn't stay in the down position and stubbornly kept springing back and gleefully emptying the contents into the drain. I want to say that the staff were lovely.

Good for the price accommodation for a stop over night
Location was good for our needs. It was a good price. The room was spacious.
The carpets were grubby in the hall and bedroom. There was only cold / luke warm water for a morning shower. It seemed to be under staffed based on our check in and check out experience but the two staff we met were very nice.

goed hotel met bar / restaurant op een mooie locatie
ruime kamer, eigen parkeerplaats bij het hotel, locatie en goed bijbehorend restaurant
gehorig en veel lichtinval 's morgens (slechte zonwering), matige waterdruk douche.

Nice if water system sorted
Cleanliness. Staff welcoming. Surprised by the hot tubs
Coffee. Only used Nescafé from a tin. Unfortunately had to move rooms twice and was offered a 3rd move. Husband surprised me with having an upgraded room with a bath in the room as a treat unfortunately there was no cold water to the room. Moved to another similar room same problem. Third room offer had no bath. Problem with second room room 6 when tv which was up high to the ceiling in the lounge it was loud in the room as it was directly under us

Wouldnt stay again
I booked two rooms for colleagues, one was fine, the other didnt have a TV so they were moved to another room which had no heating or curtains.
Inadequate room with no heatinfg or curtains and because this wasn't thought about by my colleague until bed time there was no staff around to help.

Should not offer rooms in Winter months.
The location is superb. The Barman Jay did all he could to make up for the shortcomings. The Restaurant serves good food.
We arrived as arranged at 9 pm, nobody on Reception just an envelope with room key. Found there was no hot water, called emergency number and barman was sent to explain, he asked whether we had been informed they had run out of Calor Gas so no hot water or heating in corridors or restaurant. It was so cold we had to go to bed fully clothed, the shower rail was hanging off wall and curtain was hanging down. Next day they moved us to a warmer room, still no hot water until mid afternoon and there was mould in the shower tray. Staff refused to take any responsibility for not informing us there would be no hot water when we arrived, so we had no chance to make alternative arrangements.
