Andrew's B & B is unique in many aspects. The view from the front was stunning of the harbor and the view from my bedroom was of ruins said to be one of the castles of Robert the Bruce. Most important was the ambiance, the cleanliness, the breakfast and getting to meet host Andrew. I actually felt as though I... More

I stayed at this guest house one night over Easter prior to catching the ferry to Islay (a 10 minute journey by car). The Moorings overlooks the harbour and is a couple of minutes walk into the town centre. I would definitely stay here again. The owner is very welcoming, providing an excellant breakfast. The accommodation was clean and comfortable.... More

Andrew was a very welcoming host, the room was lovely and spotlesly clean. Breakfast was excellent, he was very helpful in finding somewhere to eat in the evening. His garden is amazing! with all kinds of facinating features. Also two gorgeous friendly Bearded collies(rumour has it the most exercised dogs in the village :) ) will definitely return

The Moorings is a delightfully quirky and cosy B & B, situated in the small West Coast fishing village of Tarbert. The host is just as delightful as his property, and is very helpful - nothing is too much trouble. If you are visiting the area, we can heartily recommend the Moorings. Go there just to enjoy the amazing garden... More

The Moorings is a Bed & Breakfast that you will remember. The experience has been excellent, thanks to a highly hospitable approach, clean and luxurious rooms, fantastic view over the harbour. But the most positive and memorable memory is the friendly care that we received from Andrew, the host. Thank you very much for making our stay so very pleasant... More

We were greeted by hooting owls, herons, frogs and the other ceramic creatures populating the garden of this charming cottage as we made our way to the door. We received an even warmer welcome from our host Andrew and his dogs, who instantly made us feel at home. The interior is just as packed with curiosities, from bejewelled globes to... More
