excellent

The Gigha hotel is lovely. I have personal experience of this as we had our wedding reception here. It wasn't a grand affair, as there were only 8 of us, but we were very well looked after. The food is really excellent, using the local produce to its full potential. The menu usually offers such delights as prawns, clams and lobsters caught by the local fishermen, Scottish lamb and beef and the local Gigha cheese. This is also available to non-residents. The hotel also proposes breakfast to non-residents, which must be popular with the numerous yachters (not sure if there is such a word, but you know what I mean) who frequent the surrounding waters in summer. The rooms are very nice, extremely clean, with great views over the island and the sea. We had flowers in ours, but perhaps that's only because we had just got married. I can't remember how much the rooms or the meal cost, but I know we were quite pleasantly surprised when presented with the bill. And throughout the whole stay nothing was too much trouble.

The pub is part of the hotel and caters for tourists and locals alike (as there is only the one pub!). It does bar meals which you can eat in the garden outside. Whilst perfectly adequate, certainly compared to other places locally, I feel the food is not as nice as it could be. But that is a minor complaint.
