Ardshiel Restaurant in Argyll & Bute

Waren aufgrund von einem Tipp in dem Lokal. Das Ambiente finde ich nett. Traditionell und modern. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und vor allem heiß. Empfehlen kann ich den Steak Pie und das Hähnchen mit Haggis. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und kompetent. Ein toller Abend zu moderaten Preisen. Nach dem Essen ging es in die Bar mit hunderten von Whiskys. Eine tolle Auswahl. Normalerweise bekommt man 2cl oder 2,5cl. Hier sind es 3,5cl bis 4cl. Zu den selben Preisen wie in den anderen Pubs. Meine volle Empfehlung. Diese Lokation ist es wert mehrfach besucht zu werden.

Disappointing, fish and chips with peas, peas still raw, chips underdone, fish just OK. My wife had beef which could have been more tender, gloopy weird gravy and tasteless mash... Get some butter and seasoning in there, expensive too

We had a lovely meal Friendly staff, and nice menu. Beautiful ambience and lovely choice of menu. We were made to feel very welcome, by all the staff.

Our group had a fun whiskey tasting with Marion before our excellent meal. Everyone had a different favorite of the five whiskeys we tried which made for a great discussion. There was only one option for me when it came to my meal…and that was the Tam O’shanter burger. Tasty beef patty topped with Haggis and cheddar with a nice deep fried haggis bon Bon on top the bun for the true look of a tam! Perfect meal to end our golfing trip to Scotland. Recommend the entire experience!

We are staying in a cottage two doors down . Popped in for a drink after our long walks everyday . The most welcoming establishment . Had dinner tonight. Highly recommend the fish special . Amazing food and amazing staff. Love it ❤️

So disappointed. The Korean spiced belly pork was 99% soft fat. The batter on the fish was thicker than the fish itself but it was crispy. Carrots were rubbery, peas hard, no taste to the pineapple sauce with the ham. Wrong wine order brought to table. They did change this (!) Friendly staff but all a little hurried and uncaring. From reviews on Google we're obviously in the wrong restaurant.

Wir hatten ein sehr leckeres Abendessen. Als Vorspeise "Haggies" und als Hauptgang Hähnchenbrust. Danach 2 gute Whisky aus der gut sortierten Bar. Bedienung war freundlich und aufmerksam

Amazing food and drinks served by friendly, attentive, and caring staff. I will definitely be going back next time I’m in the area

Fantastic hotel wonderful staff best food and drink around. A must go to hotel. Will be returning again very soon

Every dish is fabulous, this is a great restaurant and would put any boutique restaurant to shame. The portions are epic and the quality of food is impeccable. Nothing is too much for the staff in this restaurant which means the food and service compliment each other.

We decided on this restaurant after reading the reviews and we weren't disappointed. I had the lamb tagine which was excellent. My wife had a starter and main off the daily specials and both were great. The salmon starter had lots of very good salmon, then she chose the freshly landed Dover Sole which was outstanding. Service was excellent and friendly, with excellent Covid protocols in place.

Lovely food, we had fish curry and lamb tanging, amazing whiskey selection to try. very well managed for covid, felt quite safe.

We booked a table at Ardshiel Restaurant prior to travelling to Campbeltown and we were not disappointed. The table service was excellent, great care had been taken to ensure we felt safe from Coronavirus. The menu was varied and everything we had was absolutely delicious - first rate! There is a good choice of wines by the glass or bottle and a selection of whisky that is quite outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Ardshiel and would not hesitate to recommend it. The location is a two minute walk from the town centre.

Easily the best place to eat in town. Service great, food very good, whisky astonishing all managed in these COVID-19 times very efficiently. So much so we changed a booking for one of our nights so we could eat at the Ardshiel again. Well done.

Visited for dinner with family. Lovely surroundings, food was great and all the staff were excellent! After dinner we moved to the bar area. If you like Whiskey they have loads to try and staff had very good knowledge. Also had a large selection of gin. During this time of Covid the restaurant had great measures in place which didn’t ruin your experience and made you feel safe. Thanks for a lovely meal :)

A surprisingly smart restaurant and whisky bar in the wee toon. The main man, John, has an extensive knowledge of whiskies and there is an incredible selection to choose from. Good food and courteous service. Best to book.

Great food the chicken dish was great and everything is cooked fresh. Exceptional quality and service

We had family here and booked tables for a meal Sunday evening at 5pm. We ate out in the beer garden at the back of the hotel. When we arrived we were greeted by Flora who explained all regarding the COVID rules. We received disposable menus and Peter very kindly took our drinks order and Flora very quickly took our meal order. The food was amazing arrived quickly and piping hot. The Squid and Haggis balls were amazing along with the soup one of my friends had. Archies smoked haddock mash cheese sauce is to die for. The steaks were perfect and tender. Macaroni cheese was popular to with my friends. Finished off with puddings rhubarb custard was lovely and strawberry meringues looked good. As was the Whisky ice cream. I would just like to thank the staff at the Ardsheil for a very pleasant evening,to Flora and Marion for making us all so welcome under these difficult times. Highly recommended

Ate here a number of times during my stay and was real favourite. Great choice of local produce and was well prepared and creatively presented. Tartan decor adds to experience and if you like whisky then a visit to the bar to see the 2000 + bottles is a must. They also serve a great pint - Fyne Ales - Jarl. Friendly service who look after you well.

We had a meal here this week and would definitely recommend - the food was delicious, staff were all very friendly and the covid safety measures were incredibly well-explained and reassuring. Will definitely return!

Thought I'd try them for lunch, and they didn't disappoint although with a little more effort from a very underworked kitchen they could have delivered perfection.I settled for the haddock and chips. My only criticism was that it should have come to the table piping hot, which it wasn't. It should have all been straight out of the fryer. That said the fish was good quality and the chips were excellent but the garden peas were a tad wrinkly and cold.Additionally, the macaroni cheese was excellent and the thinner fries that came with this dish were surprisingly piping hot. i thought I'd venture into their dessert menu and gave the hot brownies with frozen yogurt and a fruit compote a go. The frozen yogurt was excellent, the rest mediocre and bland.The interior is bright and tartan cheery with oodles of bottles of Scotland's finest falling-down waters adorning every available space. This place oozes old-school charm and this is reflected in the very laidback and mature service which I found both delightful and refreshing.

Returned to a wonderful hotel where we spent part of our honeymoon.Same brilliant service, food and staff.Only here for a meal this time but same high standards on show.Well deserved whisky bar award as the range is,second to none.A must in any visit to Campbeltown.

Na alle verhalen over hoe goed dit restaurant is, zijn we zelf maar eens gaan kijken.. Niets bijzonders, zowel niet op het restaurant menu als op de whisky-kaart. Ook niet heel sfeervol en toch flink aan de prijs.

I had a lovely lunch with friends and the staff catered for my coeliac diet with no fuss. We were well looked after in the bar area which was cosy and comfortable. Hi

We were late in looking for somewhere to eat and were with our dog and so dog friendly reviews led us to this nice small hotel in a quiet area of Campbeltown. A really helpful member of staff led us round to the pretty garden where we ate a tasty lunch of Scottish Scampi and chips. The garden was full of birdsong and was very relaxing service was friendly and prompt — all in all just what we were looking for. I would recommend.

A number of us visited for dinner and drinks in the bar pre whisky school, A lovely hotel, very warm and welcoming and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. An excellent selection of malts, of which we sampled a few, good draught beers and comprehensive selection of other drinks. The food was excellent and i would recommend the steak pie. A very enjoyable evening was had by all of us, highly recommended and i will be returning when next in Campbeltown.

The restaurant menu is mostly local produce. The staff are absolutely lovely. Nothing is too much trouble. The night we were there is was quiet; a mixture of locals and sailing crews. Sailing crews can get a meal and a shower if arranged in advance. We had the gluten free fish and chips made with the draft gluten free pilsner! The local cheese board was very good. The table service was exceptional. Other tables were enjoying three glasses of whisky on trays.

We called on spec and had a very pleasant meal in the restaurant. The staff were attentive, possibly over attentive as each of them asked if everything was OK. It was, but maybe just one could have taken responsibility for that. Any more would have been intrusive!

We had sailed into Campbeltown in our yacht and being our 40th wedding anniversary was looking for a nice place to celebrate. Having checked various options we didnt feel too hopeful. It was a Sunday and having attended church decided to just pop in to The Ardshiel on the off chance for a quick lunch and then find a special place in another port. Well what a nice surprise when we did pop in! Being a hotel we werent sure if they did non resident lunches (another place turned us away). We were warmly welcomed and nothing could be a problem. The bar and dinning facilities had been beautifully modernised and they had a theme on whisky. In fact you have never seen anything like it for the range of whiskys (they have over 2000 bottles), beauty of displays and knowledge. We had drinks in a lovely garden then went into a tasteful modern dinning room for our meal which was very nice although not ‘posh’ ie no white tablecloths etc which we didnt mind. Starters was spiced calamari then I had Sunday roast beef with all trimmings and my wife beef shin with mash and veg.The beef was spot on, lots of it and veg cooked well not too soft. The gravy was really good,it had been poured on for us which is a slight negative as a gravyboat put on the table would have been helpful. I did have to ask for some mustard which was quickly brought. The food was piping hot well cooked and plenty. I would not put it in the Michelin star bracket but it was really good quality local food for what we wanted. We ended with raspberry and gin vanilla ice cream which was good, my wife had a coffee liquor with a blended whiskey I had black coffee with a Springbank 10 year single malt alongside it. Very smooth. The whole bill came to £68 which was very good value. One thing that made us decide to stay and have our special meal was how friendly and welcoming the staff were. We really were looked after well and one of the owners who we met at the door really gave us time to explain and show us all the whiskies. Definitely a rare and special place for whisky lovers but also for just a good meal at reasonable cost.

Eating in the bar on our first night of the holiday and returning on our last night. We ate in the whiskey bar the first night, which was cosy and offers a vast range of alcoholic beverages. The second time, we dined in the light and airy restaurant. I had steak which was delicious and my husband had the steak pie (which is what I had the first evening in the bar) also delicious. My dessert was a trio which I couldn't resist.

We dropped in on the off chance last night (Saturday), having sailed to Campbeltown. No smart clothes and hair all on end, we weren’t sure they’d let us in! It turned out there’d been a car rally a few miles outside the town that day, plus there was a huge family party celebrating something and it’s not a massive restaurant so they asked us if we’d be okay sitting in the bar rather than the restaurant. We were!

We ate here once during our stay in Campbeltown, based on Tripadvisor rating. We were pleasantly surprised! Food standards were way above hotel restaurant level. This chef can cook! Also advised is the hotel bar, with an enormous collections of whiskies.

Spent a relaxing Saturday evening here. Food was really tasty and plentiful. Staff were lovely and knowledgeable about the massive range of whiskies available. Do go and take advice on the drams!

Not able to stay here but dinner was superb with friendly helpful staff and excellent tuition on local and not so local whiskies. Famous bar in the area. Patronised by the locals too, which is always a good sign

Had a lovely meal with friends atmosphere not good waitress very blunt on taking order and serving ! Didn’t ask us how meal was or if everything was aright ‘ Felt there was abit of an atmosphere in the place .

Great selections and wonderful service! And more whisky choices than you can imagine! I would suggest booking a table in advance as it gets full quickly!

Son and I took a break from the Malt Festival and treated ourselves to a dram or two - then had a great dinner; venison was delightful and my son enjoyed his venison burger (cooked to perfection) and the dram selection was impressive

Sweet potato with chilli and ginger soup to start - nice kick to it followed by grilled langoustines with salsa verde and fries - been a while since I'd had to wrestle flesh from an exoskeleton but it all came back to me and was truly superb friendly and attentive staff and fantastic value for money

Lovely evening meal with a good choice on the menu, including a specials menu. Have eaten here more than once and would recommend. Also has a very impressive bar!

We called in for lunch on Saturday and were given a warm welcome. Service was quick and lunch was very tasty. We’ve never seen such a fine collection of gins and whisky. If the latter is your thing, don’t miss visiting the bar. Bottles are displayed all around the restaurant as well. Well worth finding if you’re in town.

Staying at The Ardshiel for our epic Octogenarian Road Trip. Had dinner here both nights and on Saturday we were joined by the relatives.

The food was fairly good but standard pub grub. The whisky is, of course, the highlight, although they were out of a couple of things.

A fantastic whisky bar/lounge with their own bottling and great different kinds of whisky. The restaurant ok but not no more.

Siamo stati all'Ardshiel hotel per una cena e perché ci era stato consigliato per il suo fornitissimo whisky bar.

Ate here as non residents, staff were friendly and efficient, menu selection was good, all cooked to order, piping hot, would eat here again.

Lovely place to eat. Food is fresh, delicious and the waiting staff are so accommodating (I am coeliac so this is really helpful). Food comes quickly enough but not too quickly, they brought gluten free bread for me without me having to remind them I'm gluten free. Lovely.

We stayed one night at The Hall in Campbeltown. What a beautiful room with a view of the harbor, full breakfast, gorgeous bathroom and very tasty afternoon tea which was greatly appreciated after an afternoon of golf. We HAVE to come back.

We choose this restaurant on advice from several people we know, one good friend of my stayed here for several months and recommended it to have a bite.

Very pleasant girl serving. I had a steak pie. Plenty of very tender beef and tasty gravy. Nice local potatoes and green beans. Very enjoyable lunch.

Had dinner here with my daughter and grandchildren. Lovely place very modern and with it being sunny you can eat out in the garden. Service was quick and efficient. I had the smoked haddock which was brilliant. There was a good choice on the menu catering for everyones needs. I can highly recommend this hotel for dinner.

Whoops, I reviewed the restaurant on the hotel page. In any case this is our second visit here and we love it. The food is simple but excellently cooked and very tasty indeed.

The decor and atmosphere is Scottish with a modern twist - the award winning whisky bar is a must on a visit to Campbeltown . Had a starter of duck which was excellent the service is friendly and efficient. I think the style of the place is lovely especially the restaurant area - will be back

Great food and really lovely staff. Had the Haggis balls which were superb and the macaroni cheese was excellent and actually tasted of cheese which is sometimes very rare. The cheese used was Campbeltown cheddar which was delicious. I was attending a Ruby Wedding celebration and everyone was very impressed with the food and the service. Would highly recommend this restaurant for food and their extensive range of whisky. The dining area was beautifully decorated and very clean as were the toilets. All in all a wonderful experience.

einer der besten Whisky Bars in campbletown mit unzähligen exzellenten Whiskys zu wirklich erschwinglichen Preisen. Bei den Preisen muss bedacht werdeb, dass es sich um Dram’s mit 35cl handelt. Das Essen schmeckt auch noch ausgezeichnet

Maten var ok, men inte mer än så. Vi hade förbeställt mat när vi bokade rum. Men servicen i restaurangdelen var långsam och lite förvirrad.

Initially went to the Ardshiel for a drink whilst exploring Campbell town, as we had been advised of their outstanding Whisky selection and as I found out a very interesting Gin offering, Whilst there we looked at the menu, and booked in for our evening meal.

Didn't have a booking but heard great things about both the food and the huge collection of whisky from several of the locals, so we decided to chance our arm. Went in at 6pm on a Friday and managed to bag a table as long as we finished eating by 7.15pm, which was fine by us.

Wir waren nur ein paar Tage in Campbeltown, aber einen Besuch durften wir uns nicht entgehen lassen.

The Royal Hotel recommended Ardsheil for dinner & drinks a short walk thrugh Old Campbeltown. We were not disappointed!

Het restaurant van dit hotel heeft ons verrast. De maaltijden bestonden bijna uitsluitend uit lokale produkten, die zeer smaakvol werden bereid. De menukaart is redelijk uitgebreid en informatief. Het personeel is er heel vriendelijk en de bediening verloopt heel vlot. Als extraatje is er ook nog een whiskybar met een héél uitgebreid assortiment.

There were eight of us. Choice of starters, mains and deserts was excellent, including vegetarian options. Everyone agreed the meals were prepared, presented and served well. Very tasty and no complaints (rare in our family!). The decorations were beautiful too.

Ate here last week on a visit to the town, it had been a couple of years since I had been and I still love it. The food is always really tasty and on a cold winter night it was lovely to be able to...

Lovely turkey dinner and the deserts were awesome. The decor is modern Scottish, the service very good staff are pleasant and efficient. The Christmas decorations are beautiful and very festive. The bar is light and airy and has an amazing choice of whisky if that's your thing, mine is Gin and I particularly love the Kintyre Gin the bar is well worth a visit.

the food is good, probably the best around the area. It is consistently served hot and on hot plates ( that's a thing I always judge a restaurant on). Quality seems good as well with always so far, a good choice in homemade fare. Price wise its on the more expensive side for the area, but I do have to say that so far its always been worth it. Staff are very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Service was at a good pace, not rushed but steady. The first time I ate there was as a walk in, a great experience. The second was as part of a pre booked group meal, another great experience. If you enjoy whiskey their bar has over 100 delights waiting for you.

The six of us all ate well in nice surroundings, empty places all round on all three courses certainly did the job.

Popped in initially for a Guinness but decided to have a steak. Lovely quality steak, superb fast service despite being a walk in in. Recommend the Shiraz

We had a lovely meal served by really nice helpful staff all for a very reasonable price in pleasant surroundings, the place was buzzing on a Tuesday night ,they must be doing something right!!

This privately owned & run hotel is great for a reasonably priced meal and well known for its fantastic whisky selection, but it is also increasingly an excellent place for the gin lover with an expanding selection of new and less commonly found makes. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in Campbeltown.

Nice clean bar and restaurant with decent food. Restaurant perhaps a little sterile on atmosphere. Setting up breakfast service on tables around diners at dinner off-putting for me.

We did not stay here but our B&B host recommended this place for dinner. Lovely setting overlooking the harbour and bay. Quite slow service and I actually had to ask for the accompanying vegetables which I had ordered which was not too good. the venison was tasty and my husband had fish..

Stopped hear to listen to the live music and sample one or two of what must have been over 450 whiskies in their collection. Many from the local distilleries

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and I wish we ate at the restaurant both nights! We enjoyed our dinner very much - make sure you call ahead to reserve your table even if you are staying in the hotel. They do get busy. I read the menu and requested the fish and was told they were out of it. I was disappointed but our server said the lamb shank was very good. It wasn't good - it was awesome! Best I ever had, tender and seasoned just right. My husband had the pork chop and that was very good too. The entire meal was delightful - not rushed, and good wholesome food. Take time to hang around at the whisky bar after dinner, I didn't think so many whiskies existed. Very nice people work here and you can tell they care about making people happy.

Came for meal with my wife her visiting mum and my amazing grand daughter.Food out standing service no fault.It's the only restaurant in Campbeltown we will eat.Keep up the excellent work.

We visit the Ardshiel every time we go to Campbeltown. As usual we had a very nice meal. The portions are very generous but, if needed, staff are always happy to provide doggy bags to take home leftovers. Relaxed, friendly service and a very pleasant evening.

Recommended by Westbank Guest House to go here for its massive whisky collection and good local food. Expectations were met & exceeded on both counts. Very friendly staff and good fun. highly recommended.

Food was OK. The chips were frozen and cafe standard. Steak was well cooked but not a particularly good cut of meat. One member of staff was friendly enough but the rest didnt really speak. We were told we couldnt get a table at the time we asked for but could get in 15 minutes later than requested yet when we arrived there were only 3 tables of people.

To be honest it was a year ago May the food was amazing. Nicely presented hot and tasted wonderful. The staff attentive and friendly. What more could you ask for.

We booked into the hotel, we weren't told that making a reservation for an evening meal was advisable. We turned up at 7pm and asked for a table of 2, got a bit of a funny look and told there would be a wait, so that was fine. We sat and had a drink and watched table after table getting served before us. After 50 mins I said to a waitress that we hadn't even seen a menu yet, she informed me that they were all bookings and they would get to us as soon as possible. 5-10 mins later she asked us if we wanted more drinks, I said no. Half an hour later, a different waitress brought menus over. We were soon taken to a table and the meal was promptly served. The meal was fine and the service after was fine too, but it was just the lack of communication. If we had been told the wait would be an hour and a half and that there were pre bookings taking priority, there wouldn't have been an issue. I've worked in restaurants and its not how it's done. Bad management and poor organisation. If we hadn't been staying for breakfast we would have walked out. The owner's have clearly spent a lot of money on the hotel, but the lights in the dining room are full of dead flies and the toilets have not seen a refurb.

The restaurants ambiance is not so special - like sitting in a diner. However the food is plentiful and well cooked. The Malbec we ordered was delicious and so was dessert. The staff had difficulty with the bill at the end - it took over a half hour to get it and pay it - not really sure what the problem was. The whiskey bar was awesome. I would go there again.

Had a great dinner at Ardshiel Hotel. The food was rather classic, but clearly prepared with a lot of care. The turbot I ordered was perfectly cooked and I loved the fact that the vegetables were served separately so everybody on the table could pick what they liked. The crumble I had as dessert was really just the perfect way to end the meal. Very good!The ambiance in the dining area is very nice. I loved the fact that the ceiling is decorated with whisky bottles, illuminated by blue lights. Gave a modern feel to the classic interior. It was a bit chilly where we originally sat, because the door to the kitchen area swung open lots of times. But not to worry, we just moved to another table, which was no problem at all for the staff, who were very friendly and accommodating.The bar also offers an excellent whisky selection, which we were very happy to try. A really great evening!

La acogida es poco cálida.Los platos son clásicos y tampoco muy elaborados. El civet de ciervo verizon, estaba seco como una suela de cuero, recocido inútilmente. Una masacre.Punto positivo: el bar de whisky es simplemente hallucinante.

My wife and I had dinner at the Ardshiel during a recent stay in Campbeltown. We'd been told it was very good and very popular, so, not having booked we expected it to be busy. With this in mind, we weren't surprised when we were told we would have to wait and perhaps we would like to have a drink. We sat down in the bar and waited. Eventually we asked one of the staff if we could see a menu, since we couldn't find one on-line, and the very friendly young lady said she would have to ask the manager if it was OK for us to see it. That seemed strange. We sat and looked at the menu as the couple at the next table, who had arrived after us were served their food in the bar. After over half an hour's wait, we were taken through to a half empty dining room with no indication of why there was such a delay. If the problem was the pressure on the kitchen, then why not say so, it certainly wasn't a lack of tables.Being half empty, the dining room lacked atmosphere and there were obviously other disgruntled customers as well.The food was good, haggis balls, smoked salmon, scallops - all good, as was the wine - a Picpoul de Pinet. The staff were friendly, the management less so.Another reviewer talks about the manager running 'a very tight ship'. Maybe they should relax a bit, let the staff do their job and find out why they are having problems and delays in the kitchen.We started the evening with high hopes and ended it frustrated at what might have been. Very disappointing - there are better restaurants than this in Campbeltown.

Auch beim diesjährigen - immerhin zweiwöchigen - Urlaub in Campbeltown waren wir sehr häufig im Ardshiel anzutreffen. Hauptgrund ist das tolle Essen; ohne die gemütliche Atmosphäre von Lounge und Bar sowie den herzlichen Service wäre es allerdings nicht so perfekt.Das Essen war wieder absolut lecker, die Qualität optimal, das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist völlig gerechtfertigt. Auch in diesem Jahr gab es keinen "Ausreißer". Die Whisky und mittlerweile auch umfangreiche Gin Bar sind ohnehin ein Grund, das Ardshiel immer wieder aufzusuchen. Die Unterstützung der Service Damen bzw. der Chefin bei der Auswahl ist immer gerne genommen. Vor allem beim Gin haben wir gerne darauf vertraut, da wir beim Thema Gin absolute Neulinge waren.Wir kommen nächstes Jahr garantiert wieder (Ferienhaus ist schon reserviert...) und freuen uns bereits darauf!

This is a must visit for anyone looking for a good portion and fine meal. The decor is stylish and comfortable leaning heavily to the tartan, which adds to its charm and atmosphere.

Flora runs a tight ship here / whisky selection is world renouned / staff friendly and food delicious even the vegan option ... tried so hard but our wait for 19 : 45 pm meal took us too 21 :30 / same for our breakfast ... 08 :00 arrival finally bacon etc at 09 ;10

Were here for dinner, two evenings after each other. The food was good and well prepared. Staff was very friendly. Their whisky bar is great and they have a very wide selected of Scottish distillates, also on the high end quality side. For whisky friends definitively a place to go.Thanks, enjoyed the evenings.

Had dinner in the restaurant of Ardshiel Hotel which was very good. Good selection of seafood, very good staff. Huge selection of over 400 different whiskeys in the bar.

I had dinner here with a friend while staying in Campbeltown. We both really enjoyed our evening. The hotel has a lovely layout with the whisky bar opening into a high ceilinged bar/dining area which leads into the restaurant overlooking the garden. It all feels spacious, elegant and airy. Our meals were excellent. The service was a tiny bit on the slow side but it didn't matter because the staff were very welcoming and helpful. My sirloin steak was superb and my friend had smoked haddock on champ. Make sure you're properly hungry before you dine and it's probably best to reserve a table.

Beautiful restaurant with very helpful staff.Most food locally sourced and very well presented.We were lucky to be there during some very pleasant weather and being able to sample some whisky liqueur,of which there are many,in the comfort of the well maintained garden was an added bonus

We can't comment on the food because we were never able to place an order. We sat at our table for 30 minutes and finally gave up. I asked the staff what the problem was on the way out, they said that they would have gotten to us eventually!

Das Hotel ist die Top-Adresse. Super essen und eine riesige Whisky-Auswahl. Einfach ein muss wenn man in Campbelltown ist!!!

Booked dinner for 18 people, no necessity to preorder food & the use of a purpose set table within the restaurant, their private room being used.Waiting staff unfazed & food verity was good.A truly excellent whisky bar within the hotel is a must.

Das Essen im Ardshiel ist in der Regel sehr gut zubereitet. Dieses Jahr waren wir eine Gruppe von etwa 40 Personen. Wir wurden in den grossen Esssaal für Meetings platziert. Die niedere nicht schalldämmende Decke machte eine Konversation sehr schwer. Die Gruppe wurde auf vier grosse Tische verteilt. Unsere Gruppe komischerweise immer wieder "vergessen", das Essen kam fast kalt an den Tisch und war für dieses Restaurant ungewohnt nicht so vorbehaltlos empfehlenswert. Dafür ist die Whiskybar ein Juvel mit vielen seltenen und sehr guten Single Malt.

we had a great Scottish lunch here! The food is just excellent! the bar looks great with plenty of drams. nice place.

This is a very nice restaurant. They smoke their own food, which is lovely. The smoked duck is great, as is the salmon fillet. The lamb shank was truly enjoyable as well. Then there is the whisky bar: heaven!

Went here for a family meal and the food is awesome. Everybody's meals where gorgeous. We will definitely be returning. The selection of whiskey was also amazing. Thanks for an amazing meal

A hotel restaurant with an award winning whiskey bar. The food was good enough for a small detour but the real gem was the whiskey bar, it had "everything"!

For superb local seafood you must come here! There is also a fantastic whisky bar with some elusive drams...

Whenever I am in Campbeltown I visit here. I am always more than satisfied with the service and meal. There is a lot of choice on the menu and the whisky bar is worth a look (and sample!). I have personally not stayed in the hotel but I have heard from family members that it's a great hotel. We will continue to use the Ardshiel when we return to the "toon"

We have been to this hotel many times when visiting Campbeltown. On this visit we rang in the morning to book lunch for 13 people, there was no problem accepting us. As always the staff were very friendly, the meal was excellent as was the service. We will definitely be back on our next trip.
