Nice stop on driving trip in Scotland

Very convenient location on quiet road. Nice room, comfortable beds, and view. Good breakfast. Nearest restaurants to hotel are 6 miles away but Hotel Argyll worth the drive for dinner.

Needs big facelift

Looks very dated when turned up: paint peeling off, very outdated, hardly anyone there in the middle of summer, water didn't get hot, so couldn't have a bath, dead midgies in towel (although otherwise clean), place boiling and bed uncomfortable: sloped off at edges, so nearly fell out twice and didn't sleep well. Guy was friendly and breakfast good

Weird guy

Fawlty towers mentality from one of those owners that makes you think - why bother??????. Potentially nice hotel that owner has had for 5 years but left in a bit of a state. Could be much much more - but isn't. Owner sarcy and unhelpful. Every request greeted with a sigh before an answer. Bedroom clean if old fashioned. My advice? Keep on the short distance to Lochgilphead!

Nice place to stay

We only stayed one night but had a very enjoyable dinner (the steak pie received rave reviews) and the hosts set us up for a self-serve early morning breakfast since we had to leave around 6:00 a.m. to catch the early ferry to Islay. It was a clean friendly homey place that met our expectations and suited us perfectly. We would stay there again.

BEAUTIFUL LOCATION

Hotel looked 'tired' although the owner is working on it. The room we had would have been suited to hostelers (bunk beds) but as we were only staying one night the room suited our needs. Hotel is situated in a stunning area of Scotland with some beautiful walks and biking routes. Im not sure we would stay again as there was no information given regarding meals or entertainment etc. Im sure we paid for breakfast but because we were unaware of details we left without having anything to eat.

Very nice little hotel a bit away from the more "touristy" locations. The whole stay was very good except that the food in the restaurant seemed to be directly from the micro wave oven and not much else added to it.

Sjarmerende

Vi hadde et firemannsrom i den eldre uoppussede delen, men det var rent og lyst. Det private baderommet var noe dårlig tilstand, men sjarmerende og rent nok. Nesten ingen trafikk forbi hotellet når vi var der så beliggenheten rett ved veien var ikke noe problem. Vi var der bare en kort overnatting på vei videre, men gikk en fantastisk fin tur etter solnedgang i landsbyen nedenfor hotellet. Herlig å sitte på en benk og se utover vannet.
