We stayed here while cycling tour from Gourock to Oban on Sustrans Routes 75 and 78. This was well placed close to the route and neasr the centre of town. Ele made us very welcome and is clearly very used to catering for the needs of weary cyclists. They have a locked shed to keep bikes safe and, understanding that... More

This is a first class B & B. I had a friendly welcome from Jim and Ele. My room was very clean and comfortable with a full-sized bath, not just a shower. The cooked breakfast was very good. The TV in my room had a built-in DVD player and there is a supply of DVDs in reception I could use.... More

The Empire Travel Lodge more than surpassed my expectations on a recent business trip. Great welcome, spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable room. The shower, heating, telly, hairdryer, iron/ironing board were all present and correct. There was an ample supply of tea, coffee & even hot chocolate in the room (single accommodation usually spells disaster for me in the form of 1... More

We were beginning to think that we were not going to find a place to stay that night. Turned into Union St. to park the car while we considered our options and happened to see ETL.

As the local Tourist Information Centre had closed this season they had taken it on themselves to provide an excellant range of information about local attractions and things to see and... More
