The staff at Crinan Hotel could not have been more welcoming or helpful. They were a credit to the hotel. The location was amazing, and I had a fantastic view across the water from my room, which was cosy and comfortable. The food was excellent (seafood heaven!) and being able to watch a sea otter playing in the water outside, while eating breakfast was a real bonus. I loved feel of the hotel and will definitely be coming back at some point in future. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The location is idyllic, and our room looked out onto the harbour. The bed was very comfortable, and the staff were exemplary. We enjoyed staying in the hotel, which looks like it was built in the 1930's. The food was delicious, and it was a very comfortable hotelto stay in.

The price, of over £200 for a couple per night, was pretty steep for a hotel with not many facilities. Our room (22) was spacious, but the bathroom lacked a shower curtain, so we had to crouch on the bath to take a shower, to avoid turning the bathroom into a swamp. There was no real heating in the bathroom, either, so it was quite cold. The bar closed at 10:45, which I thought was very early. Even the pub (sharing the same staff and facilities) closed early on Saturday night.

You cannot beat the location of the Crinan Hotel right on the water across from Duntrune Castle at the Crinan Canal. The scenery is spectacular. The restaurant is wonderful for lunch or dinner and the included breakfast is delicious. The building is old , but lovely. Our room was comfortable and well outfitted with incredible views out across the water. We would definitely stay again !

Breakfast was good. The location is lovely

I have stayed a Crinan a couple of time, and dine there a couple of times a year. I have never been disappointed. Our room had a balcony that overlooked the ocean, canal, lock gates, and light house. The room was comfortable. The staff as always were welcome and friendly. As for the food. I can not recommend highly enough. With out a doubt the best sea food I have ever had.

The location is fantastic and our room overlooked the canal and the sound. It was comfortable and quaintly decorated fitting the period of the hotel. Food served way good.

The owners gave a rather unfriendly impression and there was no cosy, family hotel atmosphere as a result. We were rather afraid to use the ancient lift in the hotel so much so that we just sent our luggage up in it and walked up the 2 flights - it really needs to be modernized.

The location was superb, the owner and staff were welcoming and friendly, the food was excellent in every way. Great views from our room across the sea loch. We loved watching the yachts going through the locks and we also cycled the full length of the canal and other places of interest. Delicious home baking in the Coffee Shop too!

I would describe the hotel as 'shabby chic' but it will need some refurbishment in the future.

When we were shown into our room the view literally took my breath away! The view across the sound of Jura was so amazing that we slept with the curtains open and woke with the sunrise. The full Scottish breakfast was delicious and kept us going all day and the seafood in the hotel restaurant and bar was super fresh, straight from the boat - the best we have had. Some people have been critical of the dated bathrooms and decor but we loved it and it is what makes this hotel so unique, quirky and for those reasons very special. We will definitely be going back soon!

The amazing views, comfortable rooms and delicious food. Every member of staff were friendly and professional and nothing was to much trouble. Lovely stroll along the canal path and back to a cute wee pub attached to the hotel.

Bathroom needed spruced up a wee bit one of our party had a shower not attached to the wall not so handy but really there was nothing much to dislike.

Spectacular location and views, beside a historic and still well used canal. Unexpectedly tranquil, old-world standard of service and comfort, informal. Friendly staff who clearly enjoy their role. The abundance of the owner’s art works from this celebrated local artist.

Some would say slightly antiquated facilities though this is actually part of its charm.
