Ulasan The Ugadale Hotel & Cottages

Delicious food in the bar, Perfect beach view.

This hotel is simply incredible! The rooms are so well presented it makes for a luxurious stay! The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms great and products superb. Highly recommend 10/10! Always a treat to stay! P.S. the views from the rooms to the beach are spectacular and you’re just a few steps from the beach; lovely for sunrise and sunset.

The Hotel is rated ( by whom?) as four star. The room was well appointed, however the lack of staff was apparent. On arrival our room had nut shells all over the floor and during our 3rd day no one cleaned our room or made the bed. The staff that were available were very pleasant , but the lack of staff training was obvious with no signs of any management staff over a 5 day stay. The Bar and Restaurant were shut during the whole of our stay . Breakfast was included but was marked by consistently stale bread ,and tinned fruit salad . There is another bar serving food on site. The lady behind the bar was again very pleasant but was unable to connect a new keg when the lager had run out and seemed unaware that it is usual to put lemon in a Gin & Tonic . We had a terrible dinner in this pub/ bar marked by an inedible curry. The daily charge for a double room was £316 . Overall a major disappointment, and a four star hotel it is not!

The four of us were on a three day golfing trip and stayed in one of the cottages. They are excellent and provide you with everything you need, warm , cosy, fantastic sea views immediately outside the windows and for me, most importantly a hot powerful shower. Machrihanish course is two mins walk from the car park and the clubhouse the same distance. One thing I would recommend is to stock up with provisions at nearby Campbeltown as you pass through it on the way to Machrihanish.

My wife and I (both in our mid 70's) stayed for one night while on holiday at the end of July. The accomodation was superb, but the fact that there is no restaurant was a real disappointment and let down. There is a pub next door serving very basic food, but if you want a dining experience you need to drive into Campbeltown 5 miles away. So definitely not ideal. If we travel to the area again, we will look elsewhere, which is sad really, because as I say the accomodation was excellent.

We stayed for a quick 2 night visit. Room was very large (Room 1) had a bay window and a wonderful sea view. Had tea and coffee facilities and we ate in the restaurant/pub belonging to the Hotel. Our meals were very good I had the salad and family had the burgers etc. TOP TIP ring the Hotel when you want to book a stay as they compared very well with booking sites. Breakfast was good. Their staff are really friendly. Other guests were mainly golfers. We are booking there when we go back!

Stayed for three nights. The room with Seaview was spacious with a large double bed with beautiful bedlinen. The housekeeping could have been better. Leaving thick dust on the shaving-mirror arm and switches lacks attention to detail. The breakfast was good with the cooked items hot and tasty. Hot drinks are from flasks although there is an unused coffee machine in the redundant bar. There is no dinner served in the Hotel at present and the Old Clubhouse Pub next door has a very limited menu of predominantly burgers and chips. We found a decent restaurant in nearby Campbeltown called No.42. The Hotel is part of the Macrahanish Dunes Resort ; a glamorous title for a service which lacks the finesse befitting the price of the room. The staff are friendly but I didn't care to have them taking their cigarette breaks outside the front door.

Stayed in The Ugadale Hotel (cottages) for 4 nights (June 16-20) for the first leg of our buddies golf trip. Cottages were great, very comfortable, wonderful large showers, good beds and cozy living rooms. Breakfast had a good variety of choices with quick service for cooked to order items. Dinner was very good in the Hotel restaurant (first night), but we preferred to eat in the clubhouse for the remainder of our stay because of the beautiful view of Machrihanish Bay with wonderful sunsets. Food in the clubhouse was also very good. The only negative thing about this trip and it's not important, was we did not have access to Sky Sports to watch the US Open in our room. The late night walks along the bay of course were far more interesting as it was light well past 10 pm. Played golf at Machrihanish (2 rounds) Machrihanish Dunes (3 rounds) and Dunaverty (1 round). Three completely different but absolutely wonderful tracks. Machrihanish was dry as a bone due to almost 3 weeks of no rain, but was extremely enjoyable non the less. Great golf course and we had loads of fun, that's what golf is all about (what Mother Nature throws at you) in the company of good friends. Machrihanish Dunes had irrigation on the greens and tees with some spectacular ocean views, undulating fairways and multi level greens. A great walk through the beautiful natural dunes. This was another special golf experience. Lorna and Peter in the proshop were wonderful, accommodating and funny which added to the enjoyment. Decided to play a second round one day and headed down to Dunaverty. Approximately 5000 yd course plays like 6500 yds. First 4 holes quite basic and short with cow fences to keep the cows off the greens. Then the climbs ! As a second round our legs were like jello by the time we finished, but there were some really wonderful holes throughout and the views were spectacular. Wonderful views of Dunaverty Rock, Ireland and even the Ailsa Craig from one point I think, or I may have been dizzy from a climb? The square greens were well irrigated and putted very well. All in all, a great little course and well worth playing. Great time had by all and wonderful hotel and clubhouse staff.

We were visiting Cambletown and I had booked this hotel. The lady at the reception desk was so welcoming and polite, my apologies I have forgotten her name. But she was a credit to the hotel, whilst a little pricey the room we were given was a delight and spacious. There is parking on site and a nice inn on the grounds where we had a nice meal. Unfortunately the hotel does not currently offer evening meals due to staffing issues but we had a nice generous breakfast. Definitely worth staying here when visiting this part of Scotland

We stayed two nights at the Ugudale Hotel during a whisky tour and enjoyed it very much. Its beautiful location overlooking the sea and right on the golf links kept us looking out the window at the view. Our suite was very roomy and the bed was particularly comfortable. I laughed when I read the guest register and saw that a prior guest's comment was "Great showers!", but I must agree the our shower was possibly the best we've ever encountered in a hotel! Staff was extremely gracious and helpful -- I wanted to visit a nearby birding hide and the lovely woman running the front desk arranged everything for me. We especially enjoyed drinks and dinner at the pub just next door on the property. This is a lovely place to stay and we strongly recommend it.

We've just returned from a brilliant week at the Ugadale Hotel in Machrihanish. The hotel is really nice, situated just opposite the beach and a local golf course. I would like to give a special mention to the staff at both the Hotel and the adjacent ‘Old Clubhouse’ pub whose warmth towards us made our stay a very memorable one. If you’d like a relaxing break at a nice hotel where the staff are genuinely interested in making your stay a special one, then this is a good place to be. For those who enjoy playing golf, there are 3 courses in the area. The Machrihanish Golf Club opposite the hotel, £120/per round in September. The Machrihanish DUNES Golf Club, discounted to £70/round for hotel residents in September and only 15mins away. It’s a great course that gives you a good challenge and offers nice coastal views. Also has a driving range and chipping / putting practice areas and Launa in the Golf shop really puts herself out to help you. The Dunaverty Golf Course, £35/per round in September and is 20 mins away at the tip of the peninsula. In my opinion, this is a hidden gem and I would truly recommend this course. The staff are very welcoming and can’t do enough for you, the course is in tip top condition and the views along the coastline from the course are simply stunning!

When I booked, I specifically requested a superior room with a bath as my wife hates showers. We arrived after a round of golf, both ready for a bath, to find the room had no bath! There was a power cut in the area ( not the hotel’s fault!) so they couldn’t check other rooms. 15 minutes before our dinner reservation we were offered a different room but it was too late to change. We were offered free breakfast instead but had no idea of the value of this as we had booked an inclusive rate. There was a tea and coffee maker in the room but the only place we could find to plug it in was on the floor by the door. So we were on our knees making a drink! All the teas were perfumed - no black tea; and little milk. These were supplied when I went down to reception. The hotel has no lounge, bar or restaurant. Drinks and dinner are available in the pub close by. Breakfast is served in the hotel. Our free Scottish breakfast was terrible. Lorne sausage was as hard as a brick; bacon was dry and hard; poached eggs were overcooked. I emailed the hotel asking for my comments to be passed to the manager. I’m still waiting for a reply. Says it all. The hotel is not worth the money. We won’t be back.

Best hotel in a very sleepy town, first class local hospitality and very authentic accommodations. Great place to stay if you are trying to avoid crowds and all the tourist traps, just good old Scottish hospitality at very reasonable prices, right across from the ocean and the first tee. All the staff members were over the top friendly. inside tip. if you're a golfer and going to play more than 3 rounds, the golf club has a great international membership, and has a very modern clubhouse with 2nd story views overlooking the ocean and golf course for less than 1 round at pebble beach!

Most amazing experience in a small town about 3 hours north of Melbourne Could not believe how awesome the decor was and the great feel and combined with great hosts and quality produce was one of those unexpected delights in life that you don't get to often these days so hats off to you all and thanks for a great time
