Gorgeous location on Loch Fyne with spectacular views. Individual units in detached building have wonderful balcony decks overlooking Loch Fyne. Some electricals need repair/maintenance. Menu is adequate... more carnivore than herbivore. A pleasant stay... large beds in detached building units, spacious rooms and bathrooms. Need a "room guide" to explain functioning of heating, etc. to non-UK residents. Only 20 minutes to Inverary Castle. Evening meal pptions aside from hotel are non-existant.

Room was at the rear with poor outlook, also could do with updating. Food was exceptional, as was the service from very friendly staff. Hotel was in a good position by the loch, with good garden area. Apart from this room, an excellent stay.

We loved the location and that it was on the lake with beautiful views of the mountains! The staff were super friendly and accommodating. They have parking on premises which was a huge factor for my selection. It is only about a 15 minute ride from downtown Inverraray. The food at their restaurant was excellent as well. The room rate also included breakfast. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay. The only issue I had was the door to our room was a little difficult to open at first but the fellow at the front desk came over to help me out and we were good after that.

Comfortable with friendly welcome.
A very friendly welcome but I was disappointed with a rather tired looking room at the back of the hotel. Having said that it was fine and comfortable enough. Large bathroom. The view at the front is lovely and it was nice to view that from the hotel garden. I had to leave before breakfast so I was provided with a nice packed lunch instead which was ready for me to collect. Very helpful. I think a few thousand pounds would be useful to spruce it up a bit! I think i paid way over the odds booking it on here but that was my choice for other reasons.

Avoid at all cost
Very disappointed. I understand that this hotel plays on its old character history, but there is a difference between oldy worldly charm and rundown grubbiness. Ripped mattress protector, pealing wall paper, radiator in the bathroom with broken control, fitted radiator in the room didn’t seem to work the first night. We found a small electric heater in the wardrobe which had a FAILED PAT electrical test dated May 2023, we stayed in October 2023. No much of cleanliness about the room, dust everywhere, empty bottle and hankies under the bed, dirty windows with spiderwebs, mould in the bathroom, missing bulb in the bathroom mirror light. Food was nice in the restaurant, but I would not recommend to anybody to stay there. Unkept, overpriced and way below any standards.

Overdue for a makeover
Wonderful views from a spacious room, which felt more like a motel. Early concerns that it would be too cold to sleep in were abated when the electric heating kicked in but it was an inauspicious start. The buildings are very dated and the food menu published on the website was deceiving. Most of the choices were unavailable and we had to settle for a chicken dish with frozen veg. My first bite of the turnip was ice cold but the remainder was hot. The choice of wine by the glass was limited but the whisky menu was excellent. The whole experience (rooms were very expensive considering the state of the place and the disappointing menu) would have been a huge disappointment but was saved by the two other guests in the dining area, which resulted in a pleasant evening. Aside from the views, we definitely would not return.
