Great stay at the Crinan Hotel. Bay window room was lovely however, being older, would like a shower only instead of a bath to negotiate to get tonthe shower. Food was excellent.

The staff at the Crinan was extremely helpful. Our flight delays had us getting there well after midnight and staff was ready to get us checked in and settled as soon as we arrived. I wish that we had more time to spend exploring the local area. Breakfast at the hotel was delicious and the coffee shop is an added bonus. Our room was perfect and the bed was amazingly comfortable. Definitely reccommend staying at the hotel!

The Crinan Hotel is one of Scotland’s classic bijou hotels which has retained its touch of class and high standards of service, perhaps because it is still privately owned and free of corporate ‘sameness’. It is also surrounded by the most breathtaking sea-and-landscapes with all bedrooms having views to dream of. It is not the place for families with kids or guests who prefer beach shorts and flip-flops. Small staff but service excellent. Good menu, food excellent and not over-priced. Will be back.

Property is very tired and in desperate need of TLC upgrades. Having said that it’s homely and the Staff are welcoming, friendly and very professional and helpful. Pets are welcome and all rooms have sea views. The food is plentiful and very good. Will certainly return again.
