Delighted to find that this little gem has opened again for evening meals. Unpretentious, welcoming, and good food at very reasonable prices. Closed Monday and Tuesday. Remember to bring your own wine.

We stayed here as a group of 7 whilst cycling John o'Groats to Lands End. They couldn't do any more for us good evening meals and breakfast and big enough to satisfy all our bellies after 76 miles in the saddle. They were even more helpful the second night after one of us broke an arm and had to stay... More

We stayed at the Empire over the weekend 3 - 5 May. Jim and Ellie couldn't have been more welcoming. We were in Lochgilphead for a charity fundraising weekend and our room at the Empire was just perfect. Breakfast was hot and tasty - cooked to order and personal requests are always catered for. Our room was spotlessly clean and... More

Great place, friendly hosts, marvellous breakfast and superb value for money. Booked a few weeks ago and just spent last weekend with them when they had a wedding party in overnight and glad to say there wasn't much noise from the guests. we will go back soon and won't have any problem recommending this place to others.

We cycled at 2 degree celsius and arrived completely frozen by the time we found this fantastic B&B (a converted cinema). Ellie did not ask questions, she put the heater on, advised us to take a hot bath and washed all our cycling clothes (no extra charge, she hung the washing up as dryer would have destroyed those special clothes)....

I arrived earlier than expected, but checked in and went to the room which was nicely decorated, clean and warm-you can control the heating yourself. Lots of local information in the room. Ensuite was clean and light. Iron, ironing board, hairdryer and a small sewing kit were in the room. Good choice of breakfast cooked to order and plenty of... More

Really enjoyed our last minute stay, where we were made to feel very welcome! Clean, comfortable and relaxed accommodation and excellent breakfast at a very good price. The hotel has great wi-if access and all amenities are provided. We would thoroughly recommend anyone to stay here.

I stayed for two nights and it was a wonderful and relaxing place to stay - nothing was too much trouble and just such a warm welcome. I will definitely be back. Jim and Ele have created a wee home from home i would recommend it to anyone.
