Breakfast and dinner were both excellent. Lovely staff. Comfortable room and bed with sensational views over Crinan Loch. Pleasantly old fashioned, traditional ambiance. Linen table cloth and napkins with fresh flowers on table. Art and paintings everywhere. Hot water towel rail on twice a day to dry towels, very thoughtful. Adjacent coffee shop (owned by hotel) by the canal has good coffee and very tasty scones.

A touch expensive. Shower over bath a bit old fashioned. Male toilets off bar could do with an upgrade.

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.

Great location and the large room had a spacious balcony ideal for watching the goings on at the canal locks. Seafood was very good as was breakfast especially so as our regular table had great views of Jura and the mountains of Mull. Staff were all friendly and helpful especially Robert our waiter ( great asset for the hotel). The owner’s artworks all around the hotel were spectacular.

That we only booked two nights.

The hotel was set in a stunning location with views to die for. The staff were all very polite and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you . The food in the restaurant was outstanding with not a single bad meal for the week we were there.

The only gripe and it is a small one the decor was a little tied and in places could do with a revamp

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 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.
