What an experience to stay in an actual castle in Scotland 😁. Beautiful place and gardens. Food was delicious

I still don't understand why people have to bring their f#@+ing dogs?????? Sitting in the bar having a nice drink before dinner and surrounded by dogs 🤬. There is a lot of people who don't actually like dogs! Is there no health regulations in the UK because there is in Australia? I couldn't stay for after dinner drinks because there was no room left for humans. 🤬. By the way the dogs also sleep in the rooms. 😳

The staff were lovely and very welcoming. At breakfast, the bacon and black pudding was delicious. Overall the hotel is comfortable and welcoming. It has a lot of old world charm.

We had booked for dinner, bed & breakfast and whilst we were informed about £30 evening meal allowance per adult, we weren't told about the 15 minute slots alloted for meal times. When we arrived, most of these had been already taken, which didn't make for a very relaxing stay. We felt very sorry for the guests in Room 1, which is next door to the boiler. They did not sleep well due to the noise of the boiler and water pipes. Perhaps that room should not be used for guests.

The castle (a large manor house actually) is in an amazingly beautiful location, right on loch Fyne, with acres and acres of woods and gardens. There are small beaches where you can skip rocks or dare to feel the frosty water but for the most part just looking out the window or sitting on the patio and enjoying the view is enough. The bedrooms and bathrooms are fairly large and exceptionally clean. There are many places in the house to relax, read a book, just look out the window or enjoy a class of wine. The bar and bartender were excellent. We felt very well cared for there. The dining room is gorgeous with those amazing views. The menu is small but very creative and the food is exceptionally fresh. I would return here tomorrow or anytime.

Unsalted butter.

Beatiful spot and the sun shone... Most of your staff very helpful and pleasant... Just the one waiter at dinner on the Monday evening seemed a bit full of himself, and condescending to us, to be honest. Dinner was delicious though!

Driving up to Hotel from the ferry at Tarbet... Missed the turning twice.... Could do with a sign indicating Stonefield, particularly when it sits so far back frim the road. P. S. Dont ask Alex for an alarm call, as he forgot....

We came off the late ferry from Islay on a work trip, so only had one night at the Stonefield Castle Hotel before travelling onward. I wish we could have stayed longer as it is a beautiful hotel in a fabulous setting. Our room was very comfortable with a fabulous view over Loch Fyne. The breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious, with plenty of options. Staff very helpful and friendly. Brilliant value for money.

We missed the turning in the dark as not very well signposted coming up from the south. Apparently the sign got knocked over in an accident. Need to fix it.

Stunning property in a great location with beautiful views. Staff extremely pleasant and very helpful. Beautiful interior Christmas decorations. Even though my wife had celebrated her 60th birthday the previous day, the receptionist upgraded our chosen room to a suite at no extra charge as a surprise for her.

The only disappointment was breakfast which had been overcooked. After raising this issue with the waiter and then the receptionist at check out the cost of the two breakfasts was reimbursed without hesitation. Despite this we would not hesitate to return to stay again at the property as our overall experience was amazing.

Amazing building and grounds, fantastic public rooms which were beautifully decorated. The dining room had the most fantastic view of Loch Fyne. The location was perfect for exploring the Mull of Kintyre, the Cowal Peninsula, and the southern Inner Hebrides via local ferry services. The staff were wonderful, very attentive and mother was too much trouble. The dining experience was excellent, we stayed for breakfast and evening meal, and the food on all occasions was really special.

Our only comment was with our own room, the accessible room, which is in great need of upgrading and could have done with more shelving and drawers especially in the wet room. The hotel manager has quickly replied on this issue and has advised that this room is in line for an upgrade, and I was thanked for my comments.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. It's an amazing building and really peaceful location with lots of walks in the grounds. Food was excellent, rooms comfortable and they had made it really cosy and decorated for Christmas. Incredibly dog friendly (to the extent that I'd say if you are allergic or really don't like dogs then it's not the place for you), our pups loved it though!

The huge grounds were clearly once incredible but would need a lot of work to be fully restored (they are still really beautiful to walk around though and several paths well maintained)

Staff excellent and helpful, location and the truly amazing gardens....unique and to us a " world garden heritage site" plus saw three otters. Room 37 was just perfect for us with lake view and beds comfortable Evening meal was good yet lacked something difficult to describe. The cranachan was very good.

Breakfast...... poor from the mamalade to the toast - coffee good. just very basic B+B breakfast and yet no different from all the years I ahve known Argyll... sliced KIngsmill type bread, catering pack mamalade and so on. Breakfast is always difficult to do and access in Argyll to quality food is tricky.

There was a very pleasant welcome when we arrived and I had requested a room with a walk in shower which was provided. The dog was made very welcome and was welcome in all the public area except the main restaurant. The hotel is an old castle with huge grounds and its own private island to walk around. There are very extensive gardens with well marked paths and some beautiful trees and shrubs. There were two visiting yachts moored down in the little bay. The decor and atmosphere is in keeping with the style of the building with magnificent wood panelling, comfy chairs and settees and an open fire in the drawing room area. Our room was on the ground floor and very convenient for the rest of the hotel. It was well furnished and clean with a modern tiled bathroom with a bath and a walk in shower. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. There was a wide choice of hot dishes for breakfast and the full Scottish breakfast was vast and very tasty. The buffet side was a little meagre in terms of rolls and pastries etc. We ate in the restaurant one night and again there was an excellent choice of dishes with an emphasis on the local seafood for which Loch Fyne is well known. The wine list was quite limited and rather pricey but choice of whiskeys was extensive.

Everything was very satisfactory and I have no complaints
