Minard Hotels

"All staff lovely, amenities great, room very clean. Previous guest’s lipsal left under bedside table, strangely but other than this immaculate. Very dog friendly at dinner and bar. Very responsive staff. A proper luxury hotel. Food and wine really good."

"Relaxing two nights with excellent food and service. It was a frosty two nights and our en-suite bathroom suffered a wee bit from lack of heating but otherwise a superb stay "

"Room was gorgeous - we stayed in the Arran & it had such old style Scottish charm and a gorgeous standalone bath. The staff at check in was lovely too. Would come back again "

"Excellent stay for 2 nights as a base to mooch about, eat tasty foods, drink and relax. Staff were brilliant and super friendly, and a nod the manager too for being very observant and attentive (to needs we didn’t know we had!). Nice and warm and creaky where you’d expect it. Shower was a disappointing dribble (always annoys me), but the separate jacuzzi bath was great. Dining was excellent, no faults, delicious and assuming mostly local produce, especially the seafood, mostly Loch Fyne which you are looking at! Local walks up to Dùn na Cuaiche well worth it if the weather’s fine (or Fyne!). Great base to explore the rest of the West if you want to, or just chill if you need to (we did, and we did!)."

"This is possibly the most charming hotels and place I can remember staying. It’s an old building in a harsh Scottish environment and that is part of its charm. If you want pristine decoration it’s not for you. If you want excellent hospitality, fantastic staff and walls full of the owner’s original art, go. Walk the Crinan trail - the view from the viewpoint is one of the best on a clear day (it is a steep walk though). A genuine Scottish gem."

"Couple of days away with friends. Hotel was excellent, good food, nice staff and gorgeous rooms."

"Great accommodation, excellent food and friendly staff"

"Hands down my favorite hotel during my trip. On the day of my check-in, I made dinner reservations and unfortunately I ran into car trouble so I was going to miss dinner hours by 20 minutes. Immediately when I got to check in, they offered to make me a plate even though the kitchen was closed. 10/10 hotel! I’ll be visiting again"

"We had an early ferry to Islay the next morning, and the staff were so thoughtful to prepare our breakfast ahead of time and leave it at the front desk. Great service and nice, comfortable room. The hotel is also very close to the ferry terminal — only about a 10-minute drive, which was very convenient."
