Great staff and great food. Excellent selection of whisky with staff on hand to lend a guiding hand. Room was very nice but bed could have been a bit more comfortable but still a very pleasant stay. Would recommend to anybody looking for a great place to stay

Friendly, helpful and personable staff. Rooms clean and easily excisable.
Gerd, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a brilliant stay and would not hesitate to return. Stayed in one of the apartments which was clean, comfortable and modern (would benefit from a side table and lamp in the living area). Really friendly staff, cosy bar area and excellent food. Another vegetarian option on the menu would have been good, but otherwise food was of a really high quality and reasonably priced. Overall an amazing stay!

>xcellent, Dot friendly and great food.

Ver clean and tidy in our "garden Room". Whilst it was equipped for self-catering we ate in the excellent restaurant, The premises are dog friendly and the staff are attentive. The food is better than the menu suggests and is proper restaurant quality,
Alexander, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is in a lovely location and was perfect for bringing our dog. We stayed in one of the garden apartments which had its own area of decking and easy access to the garden and hotel. The apartment was well equipped and had a fridge (contrary to an earlier post), which was handy. Would recommend for a short break.
Alison, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stop in the Western Highlands

An excellent place to stay on Loch Awe. 3 minutes' walk from the train station - take the gravel pathway leading to a slope at the end of the platform, rather than the steep stairs up from the platform itself, if you have heavy luggage. Scottish Citylink coaches stop right outside the front door - there is no marked bus stop but you can just wave the driver down. Oban is 20 miles away (35 minutes by train). The Inn is impeccably kept and the welcome is very warm and friendly.

Okay for a sleep but fix your water heater

The hotel roomed seemed spacious and clean. The shower ran out of hot water first thing in the morning. I had to take a cold shower at 7 in the morning because the warm water just went away and I had the handle turned all the way to hot. Not a great experience. And my husband was charged $10 for a small bowl of cereal and a coffee which is steep.

Everything was wonderful except that the bed mattress was quite soft and uncomfortable and there was no fridge (although there was a stove) in the room.

I stayed here for a night with some friends. Staff was very friendly and welcoming and the rooms were nice and comfortable and clean. Parking was ample. Would certainly recommend you stay here if in the area.

10/10 Exceptional

Nature, at the top of Loch Awe, walkable to the Dam on Ben Cruhan and near the hidden-in-the-mountain, (Think James Bond) electric plant that offers tours. On train line that goes from Oban to Glasgow, transfer a few stops sooner to go up to the Great Glen, Fort Williams and the like.
Mary, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad

We had a nice stay. Have to say the bed was rather uncomfortable though. If you got to close to the edges it slumps. Small room but perfectly adequate. Its a nice area. Had a small picky dinner and drinks the night we were there. Very enjoyable. Skipped breakfast so cant comment on that.
