We were met by our host at approximately 8 pm on the first night of our stay. We had provided an approximate time beforehand to help. We were then given the tour, which was extremely helpful. We loved the room - so clean and spacious with en-suite and the sea view was breathtaking. The new bath was very much welcomed, although we just used the superb walk-in shower provided during our stay. There were nice additional touches in the room, e.g. some whiskey to sample, tooth picks, cotton...

Nice hotel to stay in - Lovely sea view room and clean and modern - Building work going on at the moment which did not affect our stay but will look better when finished- One main thing they need to do is sort out the signage for the hotel - Letters missing and main sign at front in a very poor state of repair - First appearances count - nice friendly staff

Fantastic weekend! Beautiful hotel with lovely attentive staff. We were thoroughly looked after all weekend. The communal rooms are so cosy and the sea view from the lounge and restaurant were stunning. Restaurant food was absolutely delicious and the drinks menu was wonderful. Loved the scottish gin menu. Would definitely come back.

The room was very clean, and a 5 star review for all the little extras/ little touches.
A little jar of oat milk in the fridge was appreciated for my teas/coffees and also being vegan there was biscuits I could eat. The bed was comfy, and the location is lovely - lovely views of the loch and great location for local hiking and the botanical gardens.
The hosts were very welcoming and friendly.
The breakfasts were amazing - you choose your menu choices the night before so it’s cooked right on...

Our host, John was friendly and welcoming, with great local knowledge, and served up excellent cooked breakfasts. Inverardran was an excellent base for a short break in the west central Highlands, with good road connections to many areas of interest.
I would have no hesitiation in recommending this guest house, and would be pleased to return.

The best area to stay in Cladich is right in the village itself, particularly near the shores of Loch Awe.
Cladich is a small, quiet village, best known for its scenic location on the eastern side of Loch Awe. The main cluster of properties, including a few guesthouses and self-catering cottages, are situated close to the loch, offering direct access to the water and stunning views of the surrounding hills. It's a very compact area, making everything easily accessible on foot.
For couples seeking a tranquil escape, Cladich offers an idyllic setting. You can enjoy peaceful walks along the lochside, explore the nearby woodlands, or simply relax and take in the breathtaking Highland scenery. The remoteness adds to its appeal for those looking to disconnect and enjoy nature together.
Travellers interested in outdoor activities will find Cladich an excellent base. The loch provides opportunities for fishing and boating, and the surrounding Argyll Forest Park offers numerous hiking and cycling trails.
When is the best time to go to Cladich?
The best time to visit Cladich is during the late spring and summer months, from May to September, when the weather is generally mildest and the days are longest.
During this period, you'll experience the best conditions for outdoor activities and exploring the stunning natural landscapes around Loch Awe. May and June offer beautiful blooming rhododendrons and often fewer midges, while July and August provide the warmest temperatures for enjoying boat trips or walking trails. September brings the start of autumn colours, which are particularly lovely in the Scottish Highlands.
Couples looking for a romantic escape will appreciate the extended daylight hours for scenic drives and walks, followed by cosy evenings by a lochside fire. The longer days mean more opportunity to explore without feeling rushed.
For families, the summer months are ideal as the children are typically on holiday, and the warmer weather makes activities like fishing, kayaking, or visiting nearby castles more enjoyable.
