I liked pretty much everything about my stay at The Creggans. The only concern i had was that there is no bath mat so i felt a little unsure while in the shower. But that might also be due to my age😊

Rooms great , food not, standard pub grub, lots of burgers and chips. they have fantastic dining room overlooking the loch where you can watch sunset, but it is shut… what a pity, instead in a windowless bistro with pictures about wine in London. Need to think what sells, which is the views from front.

Amazing food and sunsets
Our first night on a week long 25th wedding anniversary trip to Scotland was spent at The Creggans Inn. We booked because of a recommendation in a book called 'Cool pubs and Inns with rooms'. All the pubs recommended also do great food and The Creggans Inn did not disappoint, the food was delicious. Amazing sunsets set immediately in front of the pub over the Loch. Our bedroom was clean, nicely decorated with modern wallpaper, and comfortable but the pipework was very noisy. Other than the bedroom and the restaurant the rest of the rooms and bar were very dated and would benefit from a little love and attention. The upstairs lounge could be very special, especially with that amazing view through the very large picture window.

Wonderful hotel in a magnificent location 👌
Went to Scotland for a soltice party and stayed at the creggans. Beautiful property with scenic views. Warm and welcoming staff and gorgeous food, especially the oysters. Room was lovely with big bathroom and great view over the loch. Breakfast was amazing too and included in the price. 👍

Comfortable, friendly base for Cowal, Bute, etc
My wife and I stayed for two nights. It was warm, comfortable and with very friendly, helpful staff. Our bedroom had a large en-suite bathroom, with spacious shower cubicle and separate bath, all very clean. Breakfasts and dinners were good, see the sample menus online. And there's a lot of lounge area, both upstairs and on the ground floor, with books, games, jigsaws etc available. The views are excellent!

A fine taste of Scotland.
The Creggans Inn is on a handy route to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland via car or foot-passenger ferries fro near Gourock. Loch Fyne make a fine view from the front of the Inn. The views are absolutely magnificent. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant and food offer were delightful. Inverary castle is only about 10 miles away. The viewing/relaxing area across the road is a tie-breaker.

Pleasant stay
Good stay, nice room with a great view. The food could definitely be better, just standard bar meals tbh. I don’t think it would have been value for money if I’d paid full price, but a pleasant stay.

Drive on by!
Very disappointing and vastly overpriced. Owner had a very casual attitude to his facemask, wearing it nder his chin most of the time which hardly inspires confidence in the management of COVID measures. Food was awful. We returned 3 simple dishes. Shabby and dirty bedroom furniture. Cheap bedding and foam pillows for £200 per night?There's a main road directly in front of the hotel so be warned if you're a light sleeper. Swerve this place!

shame
No denying the great location. Sadley it’s hard to enthuse about anything else. Room was fine,the communal areas were dull, tired,stained,damaged,old furniture. COVID aside. Staff were friendly but The place was hugely disappointing , our food was poor and had such expectations before we arrived ! Need to up their game dramatically to justify the cost ! I will save the embarrassment of supplying pictures .

the Property was in a lovely quiet area although a main road ran on front of the property it was not a very well used road and was quiet from 8.pm. onwards. The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly and whilst the food was home cooked it was to a very high standard.

Staff are excellent, Loch Fyne location is beautiful, food and drink at hotel is tops. No need to leave the site but if you do, Inverary is 20 min away and charming.

A room with a view
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Creggan Inn, beautiful views over the Loch and friendly staff. Although the hotel is looking a little tired in places and some of the furniture could do with a makeover, it really is a lovely place and very welcoming, we would definitely stay there again.

Ein wunderschönes Hotel aus dem 19. Jh. mit Blick auf Loch Fyne. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück und Abendessen ist ausgezeichnet. Einziger zu beanstandender Punkt war unsere mangelhafte Wifi-Verbindung im Zimmer, da wir in einem hinteren Zimmer des Hotels waren. Der Empfang könnte daher verbessert werden. Ansonsten würde ich diese Unterkunft immer wieder buchen.
