Top Crinan Hotel Reviews

Cabin 16 'Duart' A Cosy Cabin With Views Over Loch Awe.

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the comfy, clean cabin which was surrounded by a spacious garden with lovely plants. Gregor encouraged us to help ourselves to any fruit on the bushes and peas which were growing at the time. We enjoyed sitting round the huge outdoor fire bowl at night, barbecuing, followed by a fire (the Wild Rowan shop sold bags of logs).The deck area was huge and had plenty of outdoor furniture and a view of the loch. There were steps down to the beach directly across from the cabin and we swam in the loch most days. We will be back and I would recommend cabin 16 Duart for a holiday or short break at any time of the year."

Killean Farmhouse

10/10 Excellent

"It was a little difficult to find and was not close to any restaurants etc. However, we enjoyed our stay. There were a lot of stairs if you have heavy luggage. The staff person who greeted us was a little grumpy, but the rest of the staff was excellent. Food was amazing. Bed was comfortable and room was spacious and clean. I would recommend to others."

Tregortha

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable, good view of the kyles of bute. Lovely breakfast including home-made jam and bread. Most helpful husband and wife team. Nothing was too much trouble for Gabor, who not only sorted out my TV problem but very kindly drove me to the start of my ramble. Highly recommended."

Stonefield Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"It’s all about the food and the restaurant view. Yes it’s a lovely old building with great service but then the bed is uncomfortable and the pillows really lumpy but it all is fine because the restraint food service and food are outstanding."

Portavadie

10/10 Excellent

"Portavadie was a wonderful stay, It takes a while to drive there but once arrive we barely wanted to leave, and both pedestrian and car ferries (although the car ferry is often broken down) are right there. The room at the Lodge was perfect!! The restaurant including breakfast is a wonderful space, the menu choices, quality of food, and staff are all just great. The Spa is another great space, and the general views make you feel you have truly escaped. Will come again!! Thank you Portavedie."

The Grey Gull Hotel

8/10 Good

"The bed was a bit hard but the room was clean with coffee and tea provided. Staff were friendly and breakfast was a variety of hot and cold foods."

Anchor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff very helpful and able to deal with all questions. Good breakfast made to order and very good dinner in hotel restaurant. Free parking is available all along the street; all local amenities are easily accessible on foot. The internal fabric of the hotel is rather tired and worn, and would benefit from some refurbishment; fixtures and fittings show some - largely cosmetic - wear and tear which might be better maintained. This would make it more aesthetically attractive."

Kilmartin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful place to stay. It is a heritage building and so you cannot expect modern amenities. But it had everything you need, a nicely renovated bathroom and the food was AMAZING! The atmosphere was perfect for the surrounding glen and the staff were extremely friendly. The room was small and basic but it lent to the charm. And the food.... Seriously good!"

Loch Melfort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely hotel with stunning views of the Loch, really helpful and friendly staff and a great breakfast and restaurant."
