4-star B&B on Tarbert harbour with scenic water views

Location & Harbour Views

Struan House B&B sits directly on Tarbert's harbour-side, offering rooms that look across the water to the hills beyond. The hotel is a short walk from the ferry terminal to Portavadie and from local shops, pubs, and restaurants. Guests can step outside to explore the Royal Castle pathways and village art galleries.

Rooms & Amenities

Rooms are named after Scottish islands, such as the 'Isle of Arran' superior double, which is light, spacious, and has an en-suite bathroom. Each room includes a TV, alarm clock, and tea and coffee facilities with fresh milk provided in a hallway fridge. A single room with private bathroom is available, and all rooms have a view of either the harbour or the hillside.

Breakfast & Dining

The full Scottish breakfast includes bacon, free range eggs, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, and black pudding or haggis, with a vegetarian option also available. A specialty is the Mexican porridge, praised by guests, and the breakfast room overlooks the harbour where fishing boats pass. Homemade marmalade and jam are served alongside fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal, toast, and porridge.

Guest Services & Hospitality

Hosts Mark and Aby provide local dinner recommendations and will call ahead to ensure guests have a reservation. For cyclists, secure bike storage is available, and guests have reported being given packed lunches and banana cake for early departures. The hotel has a 4-star rating from Visit Scotland and offers free WiFi throughout the property.
