HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you are in that area. Fantastic service, the staff were very cheerful and helpful, very prompt communication throughout (proactively telling us about dinner options, travel options and so on), immaculate rooms. We originally booked for one night, but ended up expennting for the 2nd night as well, we got a packed breakfast when we couldn't stay in the morning.

It is a tricky road to drive up to this property but so worth it! My partner and I enjoyed our stay here very much and definitely would stay again. We planned to go into Oban centre for dinner but after having lunch in the restaurant (best BLT ever) we decided to have dinner there instead. Great choice on our part as the food was so lovely again we had breakfast in the morning too!! Such nice staff and just a great stay all round.

There was no TV in our room which was not an issue as it is our bad for not checking before hand but the area is so nice and quite remote there was no need for one! The room had a speaker in so this was entertainment enough for us. 10AM check out which I felt was quite early but since we stayed in the hotel for dinner it gave us lots of time to go explore Oban so worked out well (:

We are arrived to a friendly welcome from the staff and a very nice bedroom. We had dinner in their restaurant and it had to be one of the best value for money meals we had in Scotland. Breakfast was also provided and this too did not let us down.

This was not the fault of the Inn, but the road in needs to be taken carefully as it is mainly one single lane all the way in off the main road, with many blind spots - we were nearly taken out by a truck carrying lumber.

The Kilchrenan Inn offers a harmonious blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The inn's bar is a cozy retreat, featuring a traditional wood-burner and a selection of Scottish beers, ciders, gins, and whiskies. It's an ideal spot to unwind. Breakfast is the best we had in Scotland, especially homemade granola. The staff is extremely polite and friendly. Rooms are nicely decorated and spacious. Everything was great and we are so sorry we coudn't stay longer.

The room was so cute! Quiet, clean, large bathtub and comfortable bed. There was coffee/tea in the room but they additionally left a few beers in the room for me as the downstairs bar was closed on Mondays. The breakfast included in the morning was delightful and the staff was super friendly.

At the time of year, there was a lack of staff to open the attached restaurant. I was dropped off my friends and didn't have a car so couldn't source other food in the area. They were communicative about this so I had brought a meal intentionally, but this was still unfortunate as I would have liked to try the restaurant.

We loved it here! After an 8 hour drive from Bristol this was our first stop of our holiday and will be hard to beat! Perfect, quiet location with lovely local walks for us and our 2 dogs. The evening meal and breakfast were outstanding and the service was some of the best we’ve had. Our mother in law said it was the best pub meal she’s ever had! Having come from a week in London the week prior Scottish hospitality put London service to shame! No TV but we really liked that, we didn’t come here to sit in our room and watch TV, we sat in the bar and played cards, perfect!

Absolutely fantastic stay at the Kilchrenan Inn. 5 stars, truly. The food was incredible, drinks were good and reasonably priced. Could not fault the staff, they were an absolute delight and in fact - one of the staff went over and beyond for a vulnerable person (non-guest) whom was having car trouble. They ensured the person got home okay to the hotel they were staying and helped arranging roadside service. The rooms were absolutely beautiful, beds comfortable and lovely bathrooms. Breakfast was just divine too.

Nothing really to fault! There weren’t any TVs in the room, just worth noting. But wasn’t a problem really.

The friendly welcome, the room was well finished and very comfortable. We dined in the bar in the evening and the food was delicious - as good as you’ll find from a fine dining restaurant. The breakfast was relaxed and beautifully presented. The Kilchrenan was welcoming and friendly as the visitors and locals enjoyed the relaxed buoyant vibe of this lovely venue. Thank you to the Kilchrenan team!

Beautiful location, very pastoral and sweet. The room was gorgeous - well furnished with updated design, spacious, clean and comfortable. The kitchen/dining area was adorable and they easily accommodated my gluten intolerance at breakfast.

A bit more remote (off the main road) than we realized. The in-room coffee maker (Krups/Nespresso) didn’t work, but we let the staff know.

The room was well appointed with a good supply of tea, coffee and fresh milk, and very cozy. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom had a powerful shower and lovely toiletries. The room was very clean. The Staff were very friendly in the restaurant and made sure our stay was comfortable.

The only complaint was you could very clearly hear the conversations of the the guests in the adjoining room when you were in the bathroom.
