Ben Cruachan Inn in Argyll & Bute

stayed for two nights whilst house hunting in the area Honestly Cant fault the Ben Cruachan Inn . Staff were excellent,polite and friendly. A credit to the business Room was clean and comfortable Very happy with the price paid Price included breakfast which was very nice I would definitely book again if staying in the area

Stunning place, staff lovely and friendly accommodation excellent accommodation with view over Loch Awe and best of all dog friendly. Would definitely recommend.

We recently spent four unforgettable days at Ben Cruachan Inn, celebrating our son Alfie and Hannah’s wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and looked after by an exceptional team—Lucy, Sinclair, Mike, Davie, Paul, Marcus, Chris and Ethan. Their professionalism and attentiveness made every moment special, and we’re deeply grateful for their genuine hospitality. The food was incredible! Every breakfast and evening meal was prepared to perfection by the chef, who truly delivered a five-star dining experience each time. The quality, presentation, and flavours were beyond our expectations. Our cabin lodges overlooking Loch Awe were fantastic—spacious, spotlessly clean, and with breathtaking views that made each morning memorable. The attention to detail in every aspect of our stay truly impressed us. We highly recommend Ben Cruachan Inn to anyone looking for a place to relax, celebrate, or simply enjoy the beauty of Scotland. Thank you to the entire team for making our celebration so special. We’ll be back!

Comfortable, modern pub. Good selection of drinks. Efficient, friendly service. However menu was quite limited and only 1 specials choice. The beef brisket was off and we struggled to find another dish we’d like. I chose the dal, which was okay. My husband had fried chicken, waffle and cowboy beans. All individual items were okay, but just a weird combination. Like beans on toast with chicken! Surroundings and service great, just a bit of a ‘meh’ meal for us.

Great choice of local whiskeys and tasty bar food , dog friendly . bar staff were brilliant .comfy sofas and open fire in relaxing surroundings.

Stopped at this inn on a thoroughly wet evening as soon as we walked through the door were greeted and even though we hadn't booked a table was found. The meal (a special from the board - braised steak) was superb and one of the best meals we have had out for a long while. The "local" drinks menu also good. So good to see an eatery providing such a great example of how to do it, good service, good food in a warm and cosy environment. Thank you for a most enjoyable evening.

Nice bar, with a good atmosphere. Staff were fab, and the food a cut above standard pub food: the menu is a twist on the ‘pub menu’ and is delicious. Definitely recommend the Cruachan over options in Oban or Tyndrum.

Gorgeous hotel in a great location, though definitely on the dearer side, especially since breakfast is sold seperately. Rooms are comfortable, big, and ours even included a kitchen. All the breakfast options were delicious and the reastaurants menu looked also incredible. Hopefully next time we get the chance to taste some of it as we arrived very late and missed the dinner times. My only suggestion would be to warm the rooms a little before the guests' arrival, as it was a wee bit cold when we first entered. Otherwise a great experience.

A truly exceptional spot to stay, rest, and dine. Perfectly located to explore the surrounding area, the garden suites are a wonderful base to come back to. The food at the inn is an exceptional mix of creativity, and home favourites with a twist. And certainly not least, the staff are so welcoming, lovely, and helpful, they make this a truly warm and special place.

Great and very friendly team. The food is amazing. You should definitely try the kimchi if you can handle spicy 😊

Bel locale(serve anche l'hotel), abbiamo cenato domenica sera con due sunday roast di pollo che abbiamo trovato ottimi sia nel pollo che nelle verdure. Prezzi in media

Stayed here a couple of nights to walk the Munros of Ben Cruachan. Everything about it is superb: the rooms, the views and the drinks (especially the Whisky selection). And special thanks to the team there - all very friendly and couldn’t help us enough when we discovered a flat tyre on the morning of departure.

This is the best quality / service / price ratio across Argyll & Bute. And the food ! If only for its quality, stop at this hotel. Dinner and breakfast, you’ll order in trust it will be delicious, traditional and innovative.

Stayed at the Ben Cruachan Inn by Loch Awe for three nights B&B. By booking direct you receive breakfast included in the room rate. As the hotel rooms were “cosy in size” we upgraded to a suite which was very comfortable and clean with an outside terrace looking over to Loch Awe. The suite was well equiped with fridge, hob, crockery, cutlery and kettle. You could self cater but we used the restaurant which served excellent food and was busy so worth booking in advance. The staff were very welcoming and saved us a lovely table each evening. A slight disappointment was the special board menu stayed the same for the three nights, as we had looked forward to trying different options not on the standard menu. All in all, our short break, which was very last minute, we enjoyed very much and would certainly recommend the Ben Cruachan Inn.

A gastro-pub with rooms, this is the most friendly way to rest up before hitting the Oban ferries. The rooms are compact but very reasonably priced, the staff are very helpful and accommodating, the food and drink options are seriously impressive in the evenings and the breakfast to follow is worth taking the time to enjoy properly too.

Carte très variée, tout est fait maison très bon avec recherche dans les goûts. Bref une excellente expérience culinaire.

Came here while on holiday and the menu was contemporary with some interesting twists on standard fare. Large range on non alcoholic drinks so a nice selection. Also lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options- if that what you want. Had crab for starter- light and fresh- followed by the steak with some particularly tasty tomatoes. And the chips were just beautiful. Amazing view and fantastic service to boot. Thank you for a really lovely meal!

We just had a coffee with scoons. Pleasant service and a similar ambience.

Did not stay at the inn but went for a meal for our wedding anniversary and did not disappoint. Generous portions and really fresh food. The smoked haddock supper special was the best ‘fish and chips’ me and my wife have ever had and we will always be judging future fish and chips to this standard hahaha! Great service in a beautiful setting ☺️

I haven't tested the hotel, I can't give you any stars. The staff is very nice. The cuisine is sophisticated and very good, a beautiful harmony of flavors. Very well placed, beautiful view. I recommend.

I came to eat it was a treat thank you very much 😙

We ate here for Sunday lunch and one evening meal. Good, friendly service. Food came very promptly. Good quality, tasty food.

Reality delicious Sunday roast here! Not cheap, but great food cooled fresh. Staff were super friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to go back

Awesome food and great service.

We were in Loch Awe for a day trip and had our tea + late lunch here. The ambience is incredible - if it’s sunny and not too late in the day I recommend sitting outside. The loch is visible from the outside seating area. The food was delectable. I’ve never had such great tater tots before - I practically inhaled them. Tater tots (5/5) - They were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and not overly oily. Korean fried cauliflower (4/5) - The kimchi was great and the florets were juicy and tender on the inside and tasted good with the gochujang. Chicken (Main)(4/5) - The anchovy didn’t make sense to me but the chicken was so tender and garlicky and just melted in the mouth. Chocolate brownie with icecream (3/5) - The brownie was warmed up and gooey but I didn’t really enjoy the icecream as much.

The service was second to none here and the food was small but tasty. The only issue I had was at nearly £20 for a lobster and crayfish roll with tater tots (mini hash browns) it was really cold, I was expecting it warm.... when food is so cold you can't taste the flavours, this is food 101. The crab starter was nice though and other food looked good too with some good Gluten Free options. They are very keen on wining awards, so much so it seemed to be everywhere you look!! Could be better, food was borderline great, but just good in my opinion. The service was great, with one of the Gluten Free dishes being intercepted before being served having non gf items on it and the waiter taking it off the bill and apologising for the extended wait whilst they re made it before we even knew about it!!

Looked like a nice place so we stopped in for a drink

I'd been here a few times before, for dinner and also to stay the night. This time just a quick stop on the way home from a day in Glen Creran with my hillwalking buddy. Had an absolutely delicious red lentil dal. Food always tastes nicer after a lot of exercise, but that wasn't the reason this time, that curry really was great. (What were the little pink vegetable bits used for decoration? Picked onions we thought, but not sure). Also, look out for the beautiful bar countertop, made from a polished tree trunk. Lots of other nice design round the place. Easy parking for weary hillwalkers just about able to hobble inside. We'll be back, no doubt.

Visited recently, food was outstanding and reasonably priced for the quality. Special shout to the delicious 'KFC' starter! Gutted we don't live near enough to visit regularly but a must-visit if you're in the area. Dog friendly!

Great atmosphere. Very reasonable prices (compared to what I pay back home anyway) and excellent ales.

We're just back from a great stay at the Ben Cruachan Inn and we couldn't recommend it more. It's a great location, just minutes from Loch Awe and about half an hour from Oban. The staff were all super friendly and did everything they could to make us welcome. Great wee bar and beer garden/balcony and the food was great as well - would highly recommend the lobster roll and the monkfish scampi. Will definitely stay again.

Very friendly and attentive staff

Excellent pub overlooking Loch Awe in Scotland. Good food and service. Amazing selection of single malt whiskies.

Amazing place, only used the restaurant, but the food was heavenly. Great location only a stones throw away from the loch.

Cannot stay enough good things about the Ben Cruachan Inn. I've stayed for both work and pleasure and it never fails to impress time and time again. The rooms are lovely and clean, the staff incredibly friendly and the food even more delicious!

Superb award winning inn. Great food served by wonderful staff. Lovely room in a beautiful area. Plenty of different places to visit and things to do. After spending ten days here last summer we are having fourteen days this year.

We stopped here for lunch and it was delicious. The staff was very friendly and attentive, very cool mixed drinks. Definitely a recommendation!

We just had dinner at the restaurant. The Food, atmosphere and service are great! Highly recommend it.

Excellent little treasure of a place. We visited here the last 2 days & the service was fantastic, beautiful food and stunning surroundings and scenery that overlooks Loch Awe. Would definitely recommend.

Visited the restaurant. It was INCREDIBLE. This CHEF restaurant was incredible. We took the lamb and the salmon, both were fantastic. Service was outstanding. If you are nearby and looking for an amazing dinner, search no further!

Had lovely stay at Ben Cruachan. We had one of the suites which had sofa, table chairs, small kitchen area with sink, fridge, combination microwave and small hob. Double bedroom and bathroom with wc, sink and shower. Very well appointed and useful for late night comfort break for our cocker spaniel. We are used to king size bed so did not sleep quite as well in double. Instruction manual for combination microwave would have been useful. Breakfast was lovely, fresh eggs, hot smoked salmon and tasty sausages. A sausage every morning for Muffin. The evening menu was not to our liking, but that is probably just personal choice. Having said that Mike was very helpful and patient in ensuring we did get some supper on first night. Davie and Lewis most welcoming and friendly. We stayed four nights exploring the area. Had a couple of drinks late afternoon each day in the bar, where again staff were sociable and friendly.

Service excellent.Eggs Stornaway (brunch) and lobster sandwich (incl crayfish) both recommended

Great food and hospitality and a great choice of drinks.

Had a lovely meal here. Service was excellent as was the food

Fantastic food and atmospher so good we came back next day

Only stayed here for a night but wish we were here longer. Absolutely beautiful hospitality and clean and cosy rooms - would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Lovely place, great food and atmosphere

The accommodation was excellent 👍 The food wasn’t great at all 👎 , The overall experience is we decided to go home a day early- ( disappointing)

Went for a wee day out to Oban and decided to stop at this cracking wee place with stunning views over Loch Awe. We didn’t stay over night but the location and what we saw of the Inn looked amazing. We stopped off and had dinner whilst watching the rugby and all I can say is WOW. The food was out of this world. The menu is quite small but there is enough to choose from and no matter what you choose I’m sure you will enjoy. Well presented in a gorgeous restaurant with a fantastic setting. The only thing, if I had to split hairs, would be sitting at the windows on a chilly night made it seem a little cool whilst eating dinner but other than that I would highly recommend a visit to this wonderful little treasure.

Lovely inn with fantastic food. Lovely people working there. Highly recommend!

Stop for sometime for coffee and snacks. A nice place with good ambiance and fireplace.

Mike yourself and your team were beyond exceptional on our wedding weekend. James and I could not have had more of a wonderful experience then we did with the Ben Cruachan Inn team. You guys showed such a warm, welcoming atmosphere and hospitality and were always happy to engage and help during the process and days of. The food was some of the best food we have ever had and I can guarantee everyone agreed on how spectacular the food was. Our stay and experience with you guys will always be such a memorable one, we couldn't have been happier and for that we couldn't be more thankful 🧡

It was just perfect! The cuisine, the attentive and friendly service. We had a great evening and an excellent meal! Congratulations to you :) !!

Really enjoyable Sunday lunch. Beautiful roast beef with all the trimmings. Worth the drive and the views over the loch are great. We’ll be back.

We did enjoy our stay, however, we were disappointed the fire wasn’t “roaring” on the Saturday night of our stay as it was a freezing winters night and for some reason they decided not to put the fire on. Attention to detail is massive, it makes all the difference. People don’t like snidey comments, especially from the manager. Another wee tip to the staff- don’t ask questions if you are not interested in hearing the answers. What makes a good host is taking a GENUINE interest in your customers. Ultimately it’s your customers that make your business possible. This place has massive potential but because of a few things that made us feel uncomfortable, we will not return. Manager- no point in being there if you are not happy !

We had a fantastic stay at the Ben Cruachan Inn. Weather was appalling however the friendly welcome we received more than made up for the pouring rain and gale force winds. The self catering apartment was modern, clean, comfortable and well laid out. the view from the front window was spectacular, looking right on to Loch Awe. We also had a meal in the restaurant which was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. The lady in the shop next door was very pleasant and helpful too. We will definitely be back, hopefully in better weather.

Stayed in the apartments at the Ben cruchan inn in Jan 2022 as a couple and would highly recommend. We were greeted by Cameron who was so friendly and allowed us to check in early and late due to it being my partners birthday. The apartment was also lovely, clean, modern and looking over the lake. We felt so relaxed after staying here with the views and fresh air. We also ate at the inn and would recommend- lots of choice for vegetarians and Cameron was again friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend and stay again

The service was very good, but the food very disappointing. Between our group, there was overcooked chicken burger with barely any chicken to fill an oversized brioche roll, some over fried greasy battered fish with either no fish or chewy fish inside, and a dry venison stew with some overcooked/fried roast potatoes. The starters were ok, but the mains were pretty awful. We didn’t bother with dessert. Overall, a very disappointing meal despite staff being very accommodating. I’d recommend a new chef.

Last minute overnight stay on 5/1/22. Beautiful little hotel in awesome location. Very comfortable, lovely mattresses and soft pillows, spotlessly clean, real log fires and nice meal and breakfast. Manager was very friendly and efficient. Thanks for tip on route via Inveraray to Edinburgh. Super drive! Thanks for lovely stay. We will recommend to others.

Have been here several times for Sunday lunch and have always found the food and staff brilliant, however, I had the misfortune to visit on a Monday and was served by the manager. He had a very bad attitude from the moment we walked in, got my order wrong twice, sighing as if it was my fault. Perhaps he should write orders down as he is given them instead of trying to be smart and remember them. When I asked him for the bread that was supposed to go with my husbands soup, he told me he only had one pair of hands. There were other comments said that upset me too and as a customer I should not be treated in such a way. I ended up leaving most of my lunch and walking out. I hope the owners read this as they need to know how customers are being treated.He ended up not charging us for our lunch but it in no way made up for the upset he caused. I won’t be back.Anyone reading this…go on a weekend, different staff.

We are staying across the lake and had seen this place and it looked lovely. On the way back from Oban we stopped in for dinner as it’s right on the side of the road, super convenient. I wasn’t hugely hungry so only had soup and some chips but wasn’t disappointed! The soup was absolutely delicious and the chips were enormous. My partner had a burger and some lovely whisky. We had a nice few hours and would defo return is we passed back through this way again.

We normally love the food here but today was a disappointment. We both ordered the roast dinners mine being the beef which was good but the pork dinner not good. Firstly it was belly of pork, lots of fat, very little meat and very chewy.There was a red purée under both the beef and pork which just made the plate look like a massacre. We normally love eating there but today was just not good although the roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were good. Not sure if we would go back. I know we should of made a comment to the staff at least for them to get feedback on how bad the pork was. For some reason we expected slices of pork and at least a wee drop of apple sauce. The dog liked the pork. Maybe we will keep to the fish next time.

Wonderful setting. Friendly staff. Great food. The roast was to die for and the dessert was as recommended by our waitress. All in, well worth the visit

Visited the Inn as a stop over from visiting the west coast. Welcomed by friendly staff and given a free upgrade from a room to an apartment. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The Winter Special Offer included dinner and breakfast served in a traditional bar and restaurant with a modern twist. Both meals were well presented and delicious. Extremely good value and a very enjoyable visit.

Booked primarily for the location. We wanted to be in the Highlands but still be able to travel freely in lots of different directions. So it was ideal for it's proximity to Oban, Glencoe and Loch Awe. We ate in the restaurant once, the food was incredible.Our hotel room was in the main Inn building. We had a small kitchenette but no utensils, oven gloves, tea towels so we couldn't really cook anything. The bed itself was two different mattresses squashed together. One was extremely hard/springs sticking into your back but the other was OK so we had to take it in turns sleeping on the good one. Not ideal really when you're out walking all day and want somewhere comfy to rest. The inn is easy to find and in a beautiful location. Recommend walking down to the train tracks and exploring the Loch. In terms of location, it was exactly what we wanted.

We had a lovely meal here whilst on holiday in the area at the end of September. Staff were very friendly and the food was great, especially the rooster chips, amazing.

Came for a drink and ended up sampling the dessert menu - absolutely delicious! Roaring log fire, lovely place, friendly staff. Highly recommended but book in advance!

Overnight stay; B&B in delightful suite accommodation with friendly, helpful staff. As well as booking dinner, we enjoyed a filling, delicious, freshly-cooked breakfast in the restaurant. Our suite was clean and well appointed with a comfortable bedroom, an en suite shower-room, cooking facilities, dining space as well as having a sofa and TV. Had the weather been better, we’d have been able to enjoy the breathtaking views over Loch Awe from the outside seating area on the terrace.Thank you!

We stopped here on our way to oban for some lunch and I must say that it was absolutely excellent. A lovely variety of food to choose from including some really interesting vegetarian options. I do love it when a chef thinks about the menu and doesn't just give you the same old tired sandwiches or pub grub options. Definitely worth a return visit and we might try and stay over next time.

we had 2 rooms for 1 night. Rooms lovely, clean and comfortable. the entire inn was dog friendly which was important for us.Food was fantastic, we had breakfast and dinner and staff extremely friendly and helpful.The inn was perfect for our stay to visit Oban and surrounding area.The seperate pods looked fantastic with amazing views.

Stayed for a couple of nights, the room was smart and clean. The staff are lovely and good humoured. The food in the restaurant is really good. We personally don't agree with dogs being permitted in a food restaurant but everyone is different. We knew that before we went and there was no disruption or barking so no hassle. I would suggest if you're an allergy sufferer you might want to reconsider going, there were a few in at the one time. It wasn't enough to put us off because we would return. I would say that the breakfast is by far the best we've had in a hotel, fresh and non greasy and the first I've seen with a Scottish square so well done :)

We stayed in of the garden suites, which was rather nice - a good view of Loch Awe and plenty of room and facilities. We stayed in the room for breakfast each day (it was available at the pub), but ate in the pub each evening.The room was very clean - large bathroom with powerful shower and comfortable bed, with luxury of plenty of wardrobe space. The only criticism would be the lack of natural ventilation - the only opening were the doors, which is not really practical to leave open in the nighttime.The food was very nice at the pub each evening, with some nice veggie alternatives. What was exceptional was the service - with the manager being the most attentive and friendly host. The whole pub is dog friendly.Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Food was delicious . A must visit . We got the beefburger and steak and both 10 out of 10! Staff so friendly and dogs welcome which was the best thing of all 🥰

We visited here one evening for dinner as we were staying locally in Dalmally. The setting is really lovely and has clearly been done out to a high standard. On arrival the service was great but petered out as the meal went on. We were sat there for a good while before our main plates were cleared. The food was nice enough, nothing special- I had the crab linguine and there wasn’t loads of crab in it but I guess that’s to be expected given how expensive it is to buy! The sticky toffee pudding was nice (I’m a sucker for a dessert) but it wasnt very hot. All in all it was nice but I wouldn’t rush back, especially not for the price.

This was the first stop of our staycation, to explore another part of Scotland. What a lovely find! We stayed in Suite 10 Loch Fyne which was ideal for two of us plus our Labrador. The room was clean, warm, functional and peaceful. The little kitchenette was useful, we didn't self-cater, but the use of the fridge and kettle came in handy. We had breakfast included and decided to eat both nights in the main hotel building (I forget to mention, this place is super dog friendly!). The food was great value bistro food and delicious (though breakfast was limited, but suspect this is due to Covid and will hopefully regain more choice eventually). The stand out thing for us was the service. What a lovely team. Very professional, warm and a real credit to the owners. Lucy was a delight, sorry to not have other names, but whoever we dealt with, at whatever time, were friendly and nothing too much trouble. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Had a superb evening here on Saturday night. Very friendly staff, warm and welcoming environment with fantastic food. What more could be asked of a Scottish Inn? Definitely be back!!

Stopped in for lunch on our way to Oben - lovely setting, staff and food! We had the clam and mussel chowder and fish finger sandwich which was on the specials - both lovely, home made and fresh.

The sweet potato main dish is sensational!!! The chicken burger was the best we have ever had! Juicy, tender and delicious. All round splendid. Washed down with a baileys on the rocks by the fire. Can’t beat it!!! We will be back ❤️

We stayed nearby and went to the Inn a few times for a pint after hillwalking, and also had food one night. every visit was great. Staff were faultless and really friendly, food was fabulous and an amazing range of whiskies!

Wonderful meal, really imaginative menu, great for vegetarians. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Even the music was well chosen. Can't recommend highly enough!

This was our second visit but first for food. On our first visit we were surprised to be charged £18 for 3 drinks. We were staying locally and went back for lunch. The staff are lovely and helpful and the Inn itself is very nicely decorated. We had the ploughman’s which to be honest was quite small for a sharing plate. Half a small pork pie with soggy pastry, two bits of cheese, small oatcakes chutney, a small skinny baguette between two and gherkins. For the price it was hardly inspiring. The sweets were nice but all in all the menu is very limited. It seems a real shame because it’s ideally situated with lovely views of loch Awe but it’s too expensive for what you get. Sadly we won’t return.

My wife and I had a great week at the Ben Cruachan Inn, situated a few metres from the shores of Loch Awe. We opted to stay in the well equipped self contained chalets next to the main Inn, with views over the loch and a small outdoor area for us to unwind after each day's exploring. All of the Inn staff could not have been more attentive, providing recommendations of where to visit and even travel advice for our journey home when roads were closed. Our intention was to use the chalet's self catering facilities more, but having tried the food and unwinding in the bar of an evening with a whisky recommendation, we didn't bother. From start to finish we were made to feel like friends rather than guests, and will definitely be staying again!

We had a lovely meal here. Welcoming & friendly, including treats for the dog, with top quality food that looked & tasted delicious.Also, they offered to help us out with a tricky work problem we had (we didn't need it in the end, but the offer itself was very much appreciated!), which says everything about the value they place on their customers.

We stayed for 1 night in a double room.The inn is in a lovely setting overlooking Loch Awe. We had an evening meal in the restaurant the food and service were both great, great choice of food and drinks. Staff work hard and are very efficient.We stayed in a standard double in the main building. The room itself was ok, with a large double bed and a small kitchenette, unfortunately there was no fridge. The bathroom was basic, small but pratical.The general corridor to the rooms I thought smelled a bit stale and would make for a more pleasant experience if this was freshened up. There are also suites outside of the main building which look like a great place to stay.Overall, a good stay with basic accomodation but good food and nice terrace overlooking the loch.

Really welcoming service, room was fantastic, added bonus that netflix was on TV so this was great for kids to relax and chill after a busy day whilst we had a wee wine on the lovely deck. Great that can walk straight over to bar/restaurant area, dog friendly as well.

Fell across this restaurant en route to Oban - what a great find! Beautiful setting, clean well decorated restaurant with good Covid-safe procedures in place. We enjoyed the most delicious lunch with excellent service. Absolutely no faults. Many thanks to the excellent staff!

Had a really fantastic and flavoursome chicken burger here, staff were also super welcoming and nice. Would visit again if in the area. We were travelling home so a bit of a fleeting visit but service was quick. Thanks for a lovely meal!

We have just returned from a two night stay in the hotel.we found the staff to be very friendly and cheerful .the room we stayed in was spotless,and had all that we needed.we ate in the restaurant for breakfast and evening meal and the food was excellent.it is in a good location for visiting the nearby towns.we would definitely stay again.

Now living in the area and decided to try the place for lunch. Overall, staff very friendly and attentive. Lovely views from some seats. Had the mussel and clam chowder - too runny for a chowder. Sticky toffee pudding was yummy but I suspect out of a tin. Husband had fish and chips - nice but fish was very small for the price charged. Menu limited. Get better value at the Glen Orchy just 5 mins down the road and locals get 10% off. I suspect that is where we will frequent for lunch in future.

Quick stop for lunch, very nice food and great service staff so friendly, cant fault this place. Sit on the Terrace on sunny day & admire the view over the Loch.

Excellent value for money. Brilliant inn! We stayed 3 night such great accommodation really comfortable, lovely deck area. Easy access to things to do in the day. Great food in the restaurant and an outstanding breakfast that gives most 5 stars a run for their money! Couldn’t recommend enough we loved it! Such brilliant service too all the staff we met were wonderful. We traveled with two young kids and it was spot on!

Fantastic little hotel on the banks of Loch awe. Staff very friendly and hard working, bar/restaurant very warm and welcoming and the food is superb. Highly recommend this place! Only slight down side is can hear noise from other rooms quite clearly but luckily our neighbours weren't too loud. Lovely place though!

Excellent stay. Faultless service, cleanly ness. Food great just what I wanted. Location near A85 adjacent to the Loch.

We were just going to a different restaurant but they had COVID-19 so we had to find a second place to eat, we managed to book this gem easily considering there was five of us.Situated next to the beautiful loch Owe with outdoor seating and a welcoming indoor.I had the Crab Linguine and the triple scoop ice cream, it tasted incredible and presented nicely!All others loved their food too!We have two dogs so finding a dog friendly place was not the easiest…Here was dog friendly and they got treats.Staff were kind and funny.Would definitely recommend!

Just returned from a fantastic four night stay at the Ben Cruachan Inn.We stayed in one of the garden suites (Number 10). Accommodation was compact but perfect for two and very clean. Lovely terrace outside with view of the loch.Staff were all lovely and very helpful. Ate twice in restaurant for dinner and once for breakfast. Food was delicious.The Inn itself and restaurant are lovely. All COVID measures in place. Would recommend and stay again. Really cannot understand grumpy review I read below. Thank you.

We stayed in a garden suite with a beautiful loch view. Stayed with our dog who was welcome in the bar too. Room 6 was great! Covered veranda so I sat out in the sun and the rain with my morning coffee very clean and comfy, small and perfectly formed. We ate in the bar both nights we were there, and the food and service we great. Really friendly staff.

We stayed in a garden suite as a family of three and a dog. The suite was nice, clean and well equipped. But some areas that let it down. The shower is tiny. Why they put such a small corner shower in I don't know, as the bathroom is a decent size and could take a much bigger shower unit. The sofa (which double as the sofa bed) is horrible to sit on. Very uncomfortable.The suites have no windows, so it means the room is baking hot when the weather is nice during the summer at night.We ate dinner there both nights of our stay. It was OK. Nothing special. Better places a few miles down the road to eat in my opinion. Service was hit and miss as they seemed to have lots of junior staff so things naturally kept getting missed. On trying to check out in the morning I stood at the desk for 5mins while 3 staff cleaned and walked about and not one of them said they would get the manager to help. Things like that which was a shame. If you drink prosecco be warned. A glass is over £8 which is premium hotel territory.

We decided to try this place out as it was dog friendly, reviews were great, and the menu looked great. We were thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was incredible. The food was sublime. The staff were super friendly, accommodating and lovely. Fish and Chips were out of this worldThe burger had an amazing smokey taste to it. The Sticky toffee pudding was delicious. If you are anywhere near here, stop by and grab a bite to eat, you will not be disappointed!

We stayed as a family of four (five including our dog) in one of the garden suites which had a lovely views onto the Loch. Upon arrival our temperatures were taken and we were shown to our apartment. The staff are very friendly and helpful especially Martin and the two waitresses! The food is absolutely delicious. Recommend the steak, fish and chips and grilled halloumi salad! Great range of drinks. The breakfast has a great variety and excellent value at £10pp.The apartment itself was very clean and had everything needed for short stay. The bathroom had an excellent shower and the towels were fab. The tv even had Netflix etc which went down well with the kids! The only (constructive) criticism we had was the sofa bed wasn’t particularly comfortable when used as a bed and the heat in the apartment at night caused disrupted sleep. There are no windows to open only two glass doors at either end of apartment. However with two daughters and a dog these couldn’t be left open during the night. Not sure what the solution for that is… maybe have some electric fans available? All in all it is a fabulous place and we had a great stay and would recommend!

We enjoyed a 3 night stay in one of the inns garden suites. Lovely accommodation, very clean and comfortable. We really liked having the decking area, beautiful views. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed several meals from the bar during our stay, food was amazing. Couldn't fault anything and will definitely return for another stay.
