Absolutely loved our stay at The Creggans Inn. The hotel is in a stunning location right on the lochside with ample parking and reasonably hidden secure parking for our motorcycles. The check in was faultless and the rooms immaculate and very, very big with massive bathrooms. The food was really good with a reasonable choice, We rated highly the comprehensive breakfast with ample juice, tea and coffee, Delicious fruit salad, hearty Scottish cooked breakfast and pastries ( although not all in one sitting!). Overall our stay was fabulous and I highly recommend The Creggens Inn to others.

We could only get wifi in the bar; no use of our phones in our room. The shower is a hand held in a big tub. Water pressure could be stronger. The hotel has a wonderful breakfast which was included. We also had a delicious dinner in their restaurant. Lovely views of the lake if you book a room on that side of the building.

I've been here a number of times for work and it's my go-to place if I'm working in that area. It always feels really chilled and the restaurant is excellent with a range of Scottish and seafood dishes and delicious vegetarian options too. I'll definitely be back again.

We've been visiting Creggans for 30 + years, the location, service and accommodations are great. Really beautiful views. Our breakfast and dinner were excellent, delicious and well presented. Kudos to the chef and kitchen staff! We love the Inn but it could do with freshening up, it’s looking a little tired.

My husband and I were in Scotland for 10 days and stayed at 6 different hotel locations from moving around a lot to see the country. The Creggans Inn was easily my favourite! It was a cute, older style Inn directly on the ocean! The only thing I was disappointed with was we only stayed one night. Absolutely beautiful scenery, beautiful garden out front, nice room, and friendly staff who love talking about the history of the place! Great food as well.

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.

Such a lovely lovely spot. Gorgeous little green space across the road to sit and enjoy the view. Outdoor patio for drinks and a very cozy guest lounge. Well equipped with games and books. Rooms were very comfortable and spacious. We appreciated the biscuits and tea available in our room when we woke up. Food was also amazing. Hot, with fresh ingredients.
