Stayed here for one night as I was due to catch the ferry to Islay in the morning for work. Very rural location and bit of a bumpy road leads you to the house where I was greeted. Rooms are basic but has everything you need and the host seems more than happy to help with anything else you may require. Very clean and lovely fluffy bedding. I had to leave at 6am to catch the ferry so missed a sit down breakfast but again the host went out of her way to send me on my way with two bacon rolls and a bottled water. 
In short, if you want hi tech and fancy, this is not the place for you. If you want comfort and friendliness in a beautiful rural location then I'd highly recommend.

Everything you need with a warm welcome!

Just came back from a short stay in Tarbert to visit family and stayed at the excellent Glenreasdale B n B . It’s slightly off the beaten track but well placed for the ferry terminal 5 minutes away . It’s quirky and in a beautiful setting with an excellent host who will welcome you in .We went on our way the next day with the full works breakfast wise and will certainly stay there again .

Excellent stay

Disappointed in access and surroundings though not the fault of the b & b owner but very offputting.
 
Liked · Room was clean and comfortable (but no bedside lights). Breakfast was good. Hostess was very pleasant.

Disliked · Exterior access and surroundings poor - long and very rutted drive, entrance area very unkempt. Despite having left message with our time of arrival, no-one there. Tracked down after half an hour by which time we were thinking of having to look for alternative accommodation.

Underwhelming

We made a last minute booking at this B&B when our ferry was cancelled while on a business trip.  We booked and arrived within the designated time slot for arrival.

There was no one there when we arrived even though the door was unlocked. We waited 45 minutes, rang Booking.com and then finally left to find alternative accommodation.

The property looked unkept and messy.  It was up a long isolated lane.  The B&B appears to be part of a much larger complex which may be used for apartments.
The property is poorly marked and easy to miss.

We are still trying to get our money back from Booking.com. Awful experience!

Owners not there when we arrived and they still charged us!

I must've been the first guest here since new ownership as the owner who greeted me explained throughout my stay. 
The drive up to the B&B follows an old road with a few bumps, but the scenery is magnificent - rolling green hills on both sides of the driveway. Once parked, I followed the sign through the archway and saw a beautiful wee garden that the owner was only too quick to point out was her latest project. 
Inside, the place feels warm and has a home-away-from-home feel. 
The room's greatest feature was the huge window with a view of the loch - my camera is filled with shots from this view.
WI-FI was fast and allowed me to stream Netflix/Youtube - no complaints. 
Hot water was instant and again, no complaints. 
Breakfast was filling and reminded me of my Mum's cooking.
Again, I couldn't fault this place. From my understanding, there has been a very recent shift in management. The owner I dealt with was an Australian/Scottish lady named Karen who answered any of my requests. 
Thanks for the stay Karen and Glenreasdale House.

Surprised & Exceeded Expectations

You have an adventure driving up a deep pothole dirt track, to who knows where, as there is probably two signs one at the beginning and one at the end. The outside is a mess, old vehicles and all manor of thing strewn around. Not the most inviting place, once you have parked unsure you are in the right place. There is a small sign saying through the archway, hand painted in need of a bit of tidy up. Once in the properly it is bland, and this is met by more blandness in the bedroom a laminated floor a bed that got any lower it would have been a futon. Bare walls not a framed anything decorating the room, no television, it felt like a cell of a prison than a room that you pay 70 pounds for.There maybe a key hole and lock in the door, but there is no key in which to lock the door. A bathroom with out a mirror on the wall, just a six inch round mirror sitting on a shelf. The fowl water and shower go through a masterater into a 2 inch pipe round the room. A monastic monk would find it difficult to find comfort.
In the dining room is a 14 inch television (colour) that is between all the guests, if you can find comfort sitting in a dinning room with 8 chairs a massive glass table and a small setee, not my idea of relaxation. Then to crown it off although they have wifi they dont have a card machine. So if you have no cash you then have to drive 6 miles in to the local town and find an ATM. When I paid I did not receive a bill, he just slipped the money in to his pocket and that was it. I was quite pleased to extricate my self from the building and not go back. It was that friendly a place. 

Most uninviting place you could visit.

very quite out of town experience, close to the famous scotish white houes, and a beautiful loch accross the way. not far from the village of Tarbert which is a little harbour town. there is still parts of the ruin tarbert castle and there is a museum close to town as well. a couple of classic wee bars that are a load of fun at night. great fishin in the day on a boat if you like. food at the b&b is fantistic, traditional breakfast, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of scotish history

wee gem in the country

Bottom Line: Nice people, but they double-book rooms. Their internet is unreliable, so they may have no way to tell you this until you drive up.

Pros: Absolutely beautiful views and great setting. The breakfast was good and the hosts are very nice people. Cliff sat with us at breakfast and had wonderful stories. Their dog is friendly and adorable.

Cons: Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place. I read the reviews and saw they were mostly positive. So I called Cliff directly to book a room. We arrived very late from the ferry to find Cliff waiting outside for us. He said he had bad news... he had double booked our room. He'd given our double-bed room (the one I called him and booked), to a couple who had gone through booking.com. He did, however, have a room with 2 singles for us. 

The extra bad news was that it wasn't en-suite. We had to share a bathroom with the hosts. It was up a flight of stairs and in their private quarters. No shower, and we felt incredibly awkward and weird.

Also Double Booked

This was just what we needed. The rooms are comfortable, the en-suite good (good shower!) and in our case the view out onto the Loch was great. It is a good distance back from the road and therefore completely silent. As others have commented, the approach may put some people off a bit - the track goes on for quite a while and the house on the house before the B&B is rather run down. 
Breakfast was also very good - Cliff and Vivienne looked after us really well. Also special mention goes to the dog, who we became best friends with.
We visited for a wedding at Stonefield Castle but hope to return in future for a longer stay. We would stay at Glenreasdale again.

Really good B&B

Clean rooms, warm and friendly owners, great breakfast, beautiful views from the house and a good, hot shower in the room. 

Don't be put off by the drive up to this B&B from the main road) or the slightly ramshackle house that sits at the end of its drive), the B&B itself is perfectly fine and for £60 a night you can't complain.

We attended a wedding at Stonefield Castle and chose to stay here, a 15min drive from the venue and close to the pretty village of Tarbert. It's a little off the beaten track but we enjoyed our two nights here.
