Wow, wow, wow. Where do I start; we were there for five nights and I wish I could have moved in so I didn’t need to leave! This is an old property which has been added to over the years and owned by the lovely Archie and Gill since 2008 and sits right on Loch Fyne. Our room was perfect, overlooking the Loch; comfy bed, plenty of storage, all the amenities you would expect with en-suite, housing a large shower and a separate bath. You could lie in the bath and stare out over the Loch- perfect. Being an older property and adding to the charm, I loved the slight uphill to get to the bathroom! Next to our room was a lounge for the residents with a huge picture window overlooking the Loch. This was our go-to place which we were lucky enough to have to ourselves every teatime when returning from our sightseeing with a glass of refreshment before dinner. The food was out of this world most definitely worth Michelan stars and very reasonably priced. A lovely selection to cover everyone’s requirements. We didn’t manage the whole menu during our stay so will definitely have to return!! Our breakfast was included in the price and again was delicious setting us up for the day with great variety. There was also a bar in the property that catered for passing trade and locals as well as guests which gave us the opportunity to meet lots of other people and have a laugh after dinner. There were also tables outside overlooking the loch and as it was 28-30 degrees during our stay it was lovely to catch the breeze. Archie and Gill were wonderful hosts, great company and lots of laughs. Cindy was great with all the guests ensuring everyone was being attended to and making us all feel special. She was also great fun and we will definitely stay in touch. Shout out to all the staff and chefs for making our stay so incredible. We had the best time.

Loved everything!

The Creggans Inn has got the best positions on the banks of Loch Fyne. The view from the room and from the garden is breathtaking. The rooms are lovelies and we were so lucky to have a living room to share with the other guests , with this amazing panorama. The staff and Archie are the kindest and warmest peole, always ready to help to any request. The cuisine at the Pub is one of the best I tasted in Uk. The sticky toffee pudding was made express at dinner. The chef is like michelin star for the great balance in his food. I strongly recomend this place.

The only thing, like most of Inns in Uk , I ' ll probably change the carpet on the floor putting some wood . But the carpet/ moquette is the standard in UK

We found this to be a very charming and interesting hotel close enough to the Lake Lomond area but also off the beaten path. We stayed in the superior double room with a sea view and it was very comfortable and spacious. We had one dinner and all breakfasts there and all were delicious. There are lots of charming places scattered around the building which are very interesting and worth exploring. The owner is also the decorator and shell artist in the gift store; she is very talented.

As with any old building there are parts that could use an update.

The large sitting room upstairs with a wonderful view of the Loch was definitely a highlight. The bar and restaurant was very good. Since the location is quite remote, we had dinner every evening and it was very nice.

The hotel is quite remote so there are no bars and restaurants in the area. You are dependent on a car. If you are looking for a traditional hotel in a peaceful location, then this is for you.

This is a beautiful location overlooking the loch. Breakfast was excellent, varied and tastefully presented, with fresh fruit each morning. I loved the upstairs lounge with its books and huge picture window, a calm place to relax and watch the stunning scenery The hotel, had a comfortable and traditional feel, with real keys for the rooms, which I really liked! It closed quite early at night but I was provided with a no fuss key for the main door. The only thing I might have missed was the bar staying open longer, otherwise I had a delightful stay, and couldn’t really have asked for more.

We managed to get to the Creggans with a great deal of difficulty as all the roads were blocked by landslides . It is all credit to this Inn who took in stranded travellers to the extent that the residents lounge was turned into a dormitory for stranded travellers. The hosts went beyond the expectations to cater for all. We enjoyed the thrill of being cut off from the rest of Scotland . The food was good and the atmosphere friendly.

Nothing. These people cannot be praised enough for the way they managed an emergency situation. They never charged the stranded people for accommodation . They only charged for food

Beautiful location, food and staff lovely, excellent and food. The room was comfortable and clean. Only negative is hotel is rather old-fashioned and could do with an update. The beds, although comfortable, sheet and blankets, no duvet.

A bit old fashioned. The furnishing could do with updating and its the first time for a long time that I've slept in a bed with blankets, not a duvet.

The views and the charm of the common zones, the living room downstairs and the one on the first floor are very beautiful. It would be amazing that they would offer the breakfast in the big room after the living room, I haven’t seen it being used and it is such a beautiful zone in the house not to use it.

The building is an old one and it is part of the charm but overall a hotel needs to provide comfort in my view. Windows for example are old, floors are creaky, bathroom outdated. A bit pricey.

All our meals were excellent with generous portions. No issue if eg one egg as opposed to two was requested, nothing appeared a bother. Our room was ideal as not all twin bedded rooms provide a tad more space. All your restaurant staff were cheerful, reception staff helpful and housekeeping assisted with replenishing coffee etc. Our stay was extended due to severe weather conditions cutting village off by flooding and landslides. It was good to see your staff multi tasking when short staffed, again due to weather. Fact that some got into work by tractor and 4x4 vehicles is testament to their commitment not letting owners and guests down. Hope they are paid well which l am sure they are or they wouldn’t have been so committed.

Nothing to dislike.

Such a relaxing hotel with excellent food and staff. It's great location for day trips to Oban, Inveraray and beyond. Ample parking and a bar with a log fire. It's dog friendly as well. The menu has traditional foods Salman, Scallops, Mussels and Smoked Haddock. Would recommend a visit. We will return that's for sure. Open for Hogmanay if your looking for something different.
