Coylet Inn in Argyll & Bute

I spent a night at a party there on the 16/11/24 the 50 year old as 2 parties on the go I cannot thank all staff for the service given I have not given stars for rooms as I was not staying the night To the lovely staff that brought bowels of water and foggy biscuits to my dog fantastic setting fantastic staff and food 10/10 compliments to the chef x

First class service and excellent food in a homely setting. A most enjoyable visit.

Everyone so friendly and good food especially the Cullen skink,garlic prawns and king prawn 🦐 seafood cocktail visited twice on holiday last week definitely going back

We had dinner there for our wedding anniversary. Had specified anniversary when booking. When we arrived, our place was decorated with balloons and we were warmly congratulated. It was very, very, very sweet. The food and service were great! The people there were all friendly, attentive and courteous! We will definitely be back next time!

Had an amazing lunch here! Fresh, delicious food and great sized portions. Friendly staff too. Great decor inside - the building is almost 400 years old! Definitely stop by for food or a drink.

Great at the lake. Delicious food.

We were happy to have an option to hire kayak

We only stopped for food and drinks but the location and service was spot on. We stopped by the next day too as we’d enjoyed it so much. Recommended 👍

Has a wonderful dinner, service was great as were views, very dog friendly, would highly recommend x

Great location beside Loch Eck,friendly and helpful staff ,very comfortable beds and good meals ,also dog friendly.

I hope this small criticism is taken positively. I'll start with the good - the two young staff were friendly and very helpful. Where they lack is: 3 of our 5 meals were incorrect, which to their credit they quickly sorted. When the meals were returned, no one at any time came back to ask if all was correct and OK, which it was not. All the chips were look-warm, and the fish was obviously on a mild hotplate too long which was not pleasant. I did try to get the attention of a member of staff, which was not easy as the two young staff were run off their feet by other guests. The sticky toffee pudding was obviously microwaved, as the bowl was burning and the cake was hard on the bottom and dry on top. The drinks were correct. All in all the genuine politeness of the two young staff made up for the small errors, and my wife and I shall return.

Booking system let us book for 4pm even though they didn't open til 5pm, so we had an hours wait outside. Nice location to wait though. Checked menu online and decided on here as vegetarian options appealed, but the menu didn't have most if the options. Also ran out of Fish and Steak at 5pm??

Staff asked for our drink orders we waited for that an then told us only certain items on menu as delivery van not turned up. Absolutely shocking when they could've rang an told us as they had all day to let us know as we weren't booked in till 6 ir told us before we ordered drinks very disappointed. Then whilst eating they started setting up breakfast area. Food we had was adequate but the kebab my husband had we could've got from kebab shop

Fabulous settings Warm welcome. Good food. Dog friendly.

Really poor standard of food overall. Food cold, poorly cooked and struggled to cut into it. Offered a replacement but really put off by the food and declined the offer. Really disappointing. Menu had very limited choice and very expensive. Won’t be back or recommending.

Lovely place. Beautiful surroundings. Perfect holiday spot if you want to escape everyday life. Quiet, peaceful and has everything you need for a pleasant holiday.

We used to absolutely love the coylett and come up every time we are at our holiday home. However the last time we were there wasn’t great. It wasn’t awful, but just not great especially considering the prices have been raised so much recently. This time however has put us off ever going back. The menu was a choice of three mains (a Sunday) and that was it. Roast sirloin with savoy cabbage and yorkie etc, vegetarian haggis or fish and chips. Very strange that this was all they had on offer when hey used to have a varied and delicious menu with eg steak pie and burgers. Anyway, my husband and I chose the roast sirloin. Between 30-40 minutes later the food came out so we expected it to be fresh. The roast was extremely undercooked. We love medium rare, but it appeared to have eaten my savoy cabbage off the plate also as that wasn’t there. The meat was actually cold as though it had been served out on a plate and sat under a hot plate for some time. Eating cold, pink, jelly like meat was not acceptable for £18.50 each so we sent the food back. The waitress wasn’t even apologetic just asking if we wanted something else. Our bill ended up being £17.50 with neither myself or husband having anything to eat!! £10 for a children’s chicken nuggets and chips (?!) £3.50 for a Coke, £2.50 for a can of soft and £1.50 for a kids milk. The biggest waste of money when we left feeling hungry, irritable and so disappointed with a place we once loved. It made us think whoever was on wasn’t a qualified chef, as there’s no way that meat had a thermometer anywhere near it for serving guidelines, and the limited menu was also extremely strange. Such a shame.

Only ate while we were passing through. Traditional dishes, tasty and well priced. Took a little too long to finish.

I have visit this place and also work here to gather more experience about local place. Everything here is so unique and authentinc so if you like escape in nature and see something differentthan this place can be great choice for travel hikin, camping or suitablenfor backpacking as well. People and business owner at The Coylet Inn are very nice and helpfull and they can also provide you usefull advice for travel. I am please i have found this place as i like to stay here for while towards work and travel cooperation a bit as well. Strongly reccommend to make visit and try various diffirent activities which this amazing place has to offer as well. It need to bee seen to be believe as well.

Great service, great food with a gorgeous view

We visited for dinner, having looked online at the menus. We found that the actual menu offered is a lot smaller than that shown online, and even then multiple items on the menu were unavailable. The food itself was generally pretty nice, ok for a quick meal but not outstanding. The staff though are very welcoming and friendly, the environment and local area is lovely.

Excellent meal. Try the Cullen Skink!

The staff were friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was lovely and the scenery was breathtaking. There was also a good selection of food to choose from at a reasonable price. The staff were also really kind to our dogs providing them with biscuits.

A beautiful and super friendly hotel. We were immediately greeted on arrival by the enthusiastic Ben, who informed us that although the kitchen had closed, the chef was happy to stay on for a while if we wanted to eat - we were so glad we did as the food was spectacular! Rooms were well appointed and had great view - a Loch view to the front and a wildlife view to the back. Would definitely recommend this lovely place!

Just had an amazing meal from this place, ordered the stake pie but there was only venison. First time I'd tried it and what an amazing dish and place to try and the service was great

We only had a coffee here but the place have history and sauna 😉

Lovely stop off for a beer with lovely views of Loch Eck 👌🏻

Dropped by for a birthday lunch yesterday with my lady and dog, what a fantastic welcome by the staff. Lovely people, great service and fantastic food. Really great place! We'll be back!

Didn't stay in, just had dinner. Strongly recommend steak and ale pie. Beautiful surroundings

We were at the restaurant for dinner. The staff is super friendly and will help wherever possible (finding a suitable parking space for a large camper). We got a table straight away without reserving in advance. The food was excellent and the steaks were grilled to perfection as requested. Would stop by for dinner again at any time. We really enjoyed it and enjoyed it.

Such wonderful food and atmosphere here. Quick service and friendly staff. Would highly recommend

We spent 3 nights in the pod which was super individual with great views. The staff was very cool and welcoming. We were there with our dog and baby, who were also very welcome. The only “negative point”: as far as we have seen, there is no direct route to take a short walk. You always have to walk a long way along the road. Nevertheless, they are the location by the lake, the old house and the light are fantastic

We had a family meal at the Coylet Inn. In total eight of us, some if whom had travelled hundreds of miles. The food was delicious and service excellent. The rapport with the staff was superb, a mixture of 21st century sassy Scottish humor and good old fashioned Scottish hospitality. The locat of the Inn on the banks of Loch Eck is superb, with awesome views over the Loch, just yards away as shown in the photos. All in a most excellent meal and a show case of Scottish hospitality to our English guests. Thank you!

Average restaurant. Old 17th century building and great location on the edge of a loch.

Stunning location, terrible food.

Where to begin?!?! We were welcomed to the Coylet by Ben(?), a young lad full of enthusiasm and more than happy to help in any way he could. Offering to help with bags and making sure we were checked in, he then turned his attention to sorting out the paddle board hire we had booked for the afternoon! By the time we had changed into wetsuits Ben was already planning the hot drinks he thought we would need when we returned. The owner of the establishment, Carl, very kindly inflated our own paddle board alongside the one we had hired and carried them over to the lochside, ready for us to use. After a couple of hours splashing about on the loch we decided to head back to the Inn for a couple of well earned pints of Coylet Inn Lager. Thanks to the wetsuits there was no real need for the hot drinks Ben had planned and the Lager is really good! Carl very kindly allowed us to store our board inflated alongside the hire one so that we could use them again the following morning. After the much enjoyed lager it was time to head to our room to get ready for dinner. Please bear in mind that this building is over 400 years old, the stair to access the rooms is very steep and narrow and the rooms are cosy but that's exactly what we expected and were hoping for. The views over Loch Eck are incredible and if you are lucky enough to stay in the same room as us, By Eck (that's the room name), even the massive bath tub (accommodates 2 comfortably) has an awesome view of the loch which you can enjoy while you soak. The bed was really comfy and the room was warm without being uncomfortable, it was pretty much perfect for us. Next up was dinner and a very nice young lady Ruby(?) who was also very nice, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the menu. I had the mackerel starter, my girlfriend had the scallops and we both had Sirloin steak for our mains. Everything was delectable and I could have sat there all night savouring every mouthful. Dessert was one honeycomb cheesecake and one Affogato. Both of which rounded off an amazing dining experience. After dinner there was plenty of chat and drinks flowing in the bar before we retired to bed for a really good night's sleep. I can't rate the Coylet Inn highly enough, 5 stars doesn't do our experience justice! Everything from start to finish was exceptional, especially the service and the staff members, we simply didn't want to leave.

We were greeted by a friendly and polite guy. We got seated. A lovely view of the loch. We ordered and I noticed the salad was a bit strange for me it had green beans in, not much onion tomato anyway the prawn salad(?) was ok. I was going to order the rib eye (@£27.50!)but they only had sirloin so I ordered a medium rare. My partner ordered the venison burger (dont😒) to cut a long story short. I ordered mash, got chips! I ordered medium got rare (sent back), burger was dry and tasteless, too many chips and what's with the salad now we have bits of asparagus? Steak was taking ages when it came I sent it back again and then I asked for the bill. The meal was terrible. The waiter was great, the manager I thought did not look like a manager, the owner was having he food in the bar I think eating fish and chips (the restaurant was not that busy🍴🤔) the chef(we found out was a vegetarian and the meat was terribly cooked 🤔. The waiter had taken off the wine, but still charged £27.50 for the sirloin!! I questioned him and he said that is what the owner had told him. So if you don't think I've been fair please check out yourselves I would rather go up the road to the Craggen.

We arrived late (40 mins after the kitchen should have closed) the staff were kind enough to make up 2 meals. The beer was good quality and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Fabulous food, excellent service and only 15 mins from Dunoon on the picturesque banks of Loch Eck.

We popped in for a meal after leaving Dunoon, we chose to sit outside as the weather was kind and we had our wee dachshund with us, we both ordered battered fish & chips with garden peas.The waiter was absolutely lovely, friendly and efficient, our food arrived and I’ve got to say the best fish an chips I’ve had for such a long time. The fish was fresh, crispy batter, food was hot, even the peas had taste. I totally recommend this hotel and will be back, views are amazing and good parking area.

I phoned last year to try to book a meal for 15 people to cater for a small wedding. I spoke on phone to Carl who was very helpful and advised they could do this and that he will get back to us with options and prices. When we tried to book or follow up I was ignored on multiple occasions or told the managers have received my emails and will respond - they never did. The problem was that there’s not a lot of options for catering local to where we were getting married. Eventually we decided to get married elsewhere. I’m sure the place is lovely and has great food. However, I believe that you should just be upfront and say no if you can’t/don’t want to provide a service, it saves the customer a lot of time…

Only stopped here for a drink, and I'm glad that was the case. Saw a member of staff, (who had a tea towel tucked into her belt at the back of her trousers) go outside, bring in logs which were then placed on the fire, then go behind the bar and start pouring drinks. But she never washed her hands. You make your own mind up. I believe the place is up for sale. I'm glad it is. Visited on 05/06/24.

Coffee and cake, loch and mountain views.

Visited last night and tonight for dinner. Food fab, service ace and as for the location.... WOW. !!!

Very, very disappointing quality of food which was a real shame given the beautiful location. This place could be so much more.

Stop off for Refreshments Lovely place last time i was here it was( Closed down ) Nice to see it all Refurbished worth a wee visit ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

Was here for lunch and it was superb with first class service 👌

Good pint of guineas and nice location, lovely view into the Loch.

We stopped there sporadically to have breakfast. This old house is simply fantastic. The boss gave us such great and uncomplicated hospitality. You simply have to see the house from the inside. You can immerse yourself in the past there. The house is still from 1650. I'm still totally thrilled. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Stopped for an evening meal whilst staying at the Caravan Park next door. Friendly staff with good service, tasty food and a nice pint all with views of Loch Eck.

Had a lovely stay. Staff were amazing. Evening food in the restaurant was great, and the breakfast in the morning was even better. The bath view over the loch was an unexpected surprise. Roof height in the bedroom was low, but not a problem as the bar was warm, welcoming and friendly. Stairs up to the room was very steep, but ample hand rails. Would definitely stay again as is the prefect bolthole from Glasgow.

Just went for a lunch. Didn't stay over. With my 2 daughter's. Meal was fine.

Went for an evening meal the service was lovely , staff are very attentive and helpful the prices were reasonable, meals tasted absolutely stunning

Lovely, welcoming staff. The food was beautiful and really fresh. Would definitely visit again!

This is a wonderful cosy place to eat. The food was absolutely delicious with great portion sizes. The staff were incredibly friendly and the place itself is beautifully and cosy 😊

Only popped in for a pint and loved it. The crisps were really different and interesting.

Lovely bar area, nice fireplace, staff are friendly. We agreed with (assumed) the manager at 4:15pm, informed they wouldnt serve food untill 5pm. Had booked and paid for plans in the evening after, so wanted to eat promptly, manager said no problem, pre-order at 4:55pm, food at 5:15pm. More of our larger group came later. Long story short, the original group were no longer allowed to order from the main menu and only offered the kids menu as there were supposedly so many of us, other (assumed) local guests who had reserved ahead had priority. Waiter effectively was stalling and serving other guests first, saying he would bring menu ,and then disappear for another 20 minutes. due to our tight schedule we left at 5:50pm as it was clear he had no intention to take the order, again despite being promised and trying to order food at 4:55pm. If you don't have enough food to serve, fair enough. Don't tell customers you can, make them wait and order drinks and nibbles, then renege and stall, be upfront and honest.

We found this little hidden gem on a drive we were doing whist away for the weekend. Stopped for lunch, food was fantastic, service was brilliant, views were amazing and We will definitely be back.

We popped in for a quick pint and were so warmly welcomed that we'll definitely be back soon.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, id say the Inn is budget and average pub grub food. Nice decent crispy chips served with one meal, then the next night oven chips? which were left uneaten. For the prices id expect better food, salad was quite sad tbh. Inn is trying on the food front but sadly failing and below par. I wouldn't eat here again unless reviews starting glowing, so to say but disappointing food.

Location : Amazing Parking : Plenty for venue size Bar : Well stocked Staff : Friendly and Attentive Food : Disappointing Offerings : Water activities (not used by us) Will be back for mid road trip drinks but not food, would recommend for drinks only. Review: Popped in for the toilet on the way to pucks glen, staff were very friendly, accommodating and informative when asked about the restaurant and area. Went back on the travel home for dinner. Again friendly and accommodating wait staff but disappointed in the food quality and portions. Kids potion of bangers and mash consisted of 4 small "wee willy winkie" sausages, a portion of mash, a portion of veg made up of a strange blend of cabbage and cucumber and a portion of gravy. When mentioned to the wait staff about the kids meal it was agreed that this wasn't an acceptable meal for the price, an apology was given and a second portion(4) of the same sausages was presented. The "tapas" style starters could only be described as freezer food, which could have quite easily been made at home. When mentioned to the manager at that the meal was disappointing and that the "bangers and mash" was not up to the expectations of banger and mash, there was a back and forth about how it was a kids meal and that there was a second portion received. These comments from the manager didn't take into consideration that the second portion was only received after a complaint about the standards was made and that at cheaper restaurants a kids banger and mash would consist of a proportonate amount of normal sized sausages. As a result there was a discount of 10% taken off the bill amounting to nearly £50. I do feel this discount wasn't enough and hope that comment made about the standards of food were heard and can be acted upon. As a whole the service was good but as stated the food was a disappointment.

We had a fantastic few days, post new year, the glamping pod at the Coylet Inn. An amazing little cosy space with outstanding views! The Coylet Inn itself was brilliant! Great food, lovely regulars and a roaring open fire. Also super dog friendly which is a must for us. Bonnie was made so welcome. We’re already plotting a return!

Great food, friendly staff and dog friendly

Very disappointed, restaurant empty apart from one other couple so no atmosphere at all. Not what we expected the week before Christmas. The food very poor, medium rare steak was well done and oven chips with a sad side salad. Not good. We also waited 40 minutes for our food which was a long time considering there were only 2 tables to serve. Such a shame because beautiful location and lovely old building. Could be fabulous with a good chef.

Sitting in the cosy bar beside the fire looking on Loch Eck. True contentment.

Visited the Coylet Inn today and couldn't fault the service or the food! Me, my partner and our dog were staying in a nearby lodge but our electric had been cut off! We were looking around for a place to eat and this definitely was the best choice. Greeted by the owner with a smile, quick service and lovely food. We sat by the warm fire and our dog was treated very well too :-) thank you for a lovely experience hope to be back soon!

Wonderful setting, super friendly service. Food is excellent, hearty breakfasts , good choice of evening meals,

That burger must have been at least 10oz. It tasted as good as it looks.

Really good food. We arrived at 1pm on a grey autumn day - parking was plentiful and the location is on the shore road so the views are brilliant. We popped in after walking around pucks glen (a few minutes away by car). The staff were really polite and helpful. We were a group of 2 adults, a 3 year old and a dog. Water bowls are available for dogs, restaurant is dog friendly, there is a separate kids menu (we went for nuggets and mash- she loved it!), I tried the T-bone steak that was well priced, plentiful and tested lovely. My partner tried the beef pie- again another great meal. We followed up with some deserts and were pleasantly surprised with the bill. We will definitely be returning

The area and setting were lovely. Booked a table online for a table in the conservatory but wasn’t allocated a table there. This was easily solved as a table was free and had a lovely view over Loch Eck. Food was good that we received but a number of the steaks weren’t available but weren’t informed of this before hand and after asking for a tomahawk and then a T-Bone I had to settle for a Rib eye (Can’t fault this as it was lovely) my Partners Bruschetta was quite basic. The Tapas food was very tasty and enjoyed. The table next to us asked what the sea food special starter was and they were also informed it wasn’t available. All in all the food received was good but better communication on what isn’t available when you arrive could be better.

Amazing food, dog friendly and staff were fantastic

We love this place ❤ Food is so good!! The staff are brilliant and so helpful 👏 The Coylet Inn has the most stunning view of Loch Eck no matter the season. No wonder everyone stops in for a photo opportunity!! Dog friendly and a great cosy traditional scottish bar with a well stocked gantry and a fireplace. Best pub/Hotel near Dunoon.👌

We stayed here for 2 nights with Brodie, our Springer Spaniel. We were looked after really well & being dog friendly made our stay even better. The food was lovely & breakfast was 10/10. Quirky with amazing views we would highly recommend. When here we had a trip to Pucks Glen about 5 to 10mins away in the car. Truly magical, a must visit. X

Lovely lunch at the Coylet Inn, friendly staff, seated with a beautiful view of Loch Eck. Loved the hunting decor gave the feel of a country lodge. Would recommend a visit.

Gyönyörű hely, csodás környezet. A személyzet kedves, segítőkész, a kaja átlagos. A reggeli lehetne jobb, viszont kárpótol a csodás kilátás.

We stopped here because of the beautiful setting despite it saying nothing about offering gluten free options on their website. When we entered we asked if they catered for allergies to be greeted I’m am sure we can accommodate your needs. They certainly did offering me several options I also have an intolerance to onions which can be more of a challenge than gluten. Both staff members went out of their way to ensure my needs were accommodated.All three of us had a lovely meal in a very relaxed atmosphere would definitely recommend. Travelling with allergies can be a challenge and very limiting when you want to eat out. Highly recommend and hopefully will visit again if in the area Want

I am a complete tourist to the area and i think this restaurant is a hidden gem! The restaurant is well maintained and decorated. The food was served quickly and tasted delicious. The staff were all very friendly and polite. I would definitely recommend to book to make sure you guarantee a table as it is very popular! Would recommend if you are staying in the area!

Coylet Inn is full of character with stunning views. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Food very good. Choice on menu very good. Staff very obliging. Nothing any trouble. Highly recommend. Will definitely return.

Went for lunch with aged parents. Great location. The food was good and the staff friendly. Lots of atmosphere in the building.

Had a lovely lunch,staff were very helpful as we had someone with walking difficulties, highly recommend, lovely view of the loch.

Stunning location on the banks of Loch Eck,food was lovely and very filling,🤤🤤🤤,prices were very reasonable,staff couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly, definitely worth a visit 10 out of 10

Great location, nice food and drink. You can eat whilst looking across the loch

The website enticed us with pictures of fresh langoustines, but were not on the menu. We opted for the ‘tapas’ which consisted of calamari, prawn, chicken, haloumi and mozzarella. When served it appeared as a beige buffet in Indian style curry dishes. It was clearly a frozen party starter selection all deep fried together. The mozzarella had been fried so much that there was no cheese left inside the hollow breadcrumbs. There was not a shred of garnish, slice of lemon or pot of coleslaw. We have genuinely never experienced worse food in a restaurant. It really was an Iceland frozen selection. The waiting staff were kind and helpful, but it is clear why this restaurant is so empty on a Saturday afternoon. Such a shame as has a lovely loch view.

Have visited the Coylet before: it never fails to hit the spot whether for lunch or dinner. Wonderful atmosphere, great location, terrific food and as for the cocktails (bathtub highly recommended)! Staff welcoming.

Some background: I was a much younger man, a US Navy Submariner. Our "Gold" Crew would fly to Glasgow and bus to Greenock to relieve the "Blue" Crew and take over operating the USS Alexander Hamilton SSBN 617 moored alongside a submarine tender off Greenock. So; after one particulary long day, I ventured to Coylet Inn on the advice of a friendly taxi driver whose name I wish I did not forget. The owners were named, George and Dorothy Addis. I stayed over night in a comfortable room and overslept their gracious wake up call, but made it back to Hamilton, nonetheless. The evening before, I ate a very nice diinner of fresh fish (trout?) which was caught but a few hours earlier in Loch Eck, situated across the street (A815). The finest thing about dinner was to watch greens being picked out of a nearby garden: at the time of picking, I did not know it was for my table! Fresh fish, fresh vegetable salad, excellent wine, and the wonderfully friendly and inviting personalities from George and Dorothy. This is many years ago and still holds a fondness in memory, particualry at evening's end when the friendly noisy singing had to end at bar's closing, though still elbow to elbow with people. A moment later, lights were turned way down, silence was enforced by many people shussing as a Constable's powerful spotlight shown through the shuttered windows and then disappeared. A more quiet revelry resumed, friendliness was unabated, whilst a moment or two later, through the back door entered the Constable whose bright spot light had previously lighted up some of the bar. - I had finished eating and moved to the bar. He removed his checker-banded hat, then sat down, right next to a startled and nervous me and ordered, "My usual, Pet. And give my friend here what ever pleases." His phrasing - unforgettable. Thank you George and Dorothy, and Constable, and those other fun people whose names are unknown, but whose affect is ever glowing.

Fantastic place to stay. My wife and I stayed in the Two Deer room with our dog for one night. Great size and amazing views. Very comfy bed and large walk in shower. Our dog loved it and was very happy. We are in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast, both meals delicious. Breakfast was one of the best we have had. Can’t wait to go back!

What a stay rooms upstairs an check oot the stairs what a turn 🤪

This place was brilliant, we managed to get a room (the little lodge cabin thing) last minute (we had an issue with the place we booked on air bnb). The staff at the coylett were incredibly accomodating and nice. We also had tea there that night and the food was incredible i had a salt and chilli chicken burger which was the nicest burger ive ever had.

Fantastic welcome for our party of 7 plus Monty our Labrador. No problem to have the dog in the restaurant and they even cooked him a sausage, so very nice of the staff to do that . We all had a superb lunch food was excellent as was service. We will be back to this great place as soon as possible. Keep up the great work guys .

We found this beautiful Inn on the park 4 night app, having a campervan we contacted to see if we could park overnight and also stay for a meal and few drinks. From the first contact we were made so very welcome. When we arrived we went into the bar area, it’s a lovely cosy area, great selection of drinks, beers etc. The staff were superb very friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you. We had dinner in restaurant again lovely setting and husband opted for the 32 ounce TBone it was cooked to perfection. The deserts wow - the red velvet cheesecake was one of the best I’ve had. If your in this beautiful area of Dunoon please stop in you won’t be disappointed we will definitely be back.

Just had a drink and sat admiring the view.

Waited several minutes to be welcomed in reception, when we asked in bar we were told to wait in reception and somebody would come - they did Eventually! Menu mainly burgers, sausages, pie, curry etc Very limited Scottish influence. That said, food was good and waiting staff were very friendly and attentive!

Great service, lovely restaurant, spoiled by poor food. My burger was dry and tasteless without the bacon the menu said it had. Wife said her chicken burger was much the same.

We had a lovely meal at this beautifully positioned restaurant on the shores of the stunning Lock Eck. The chicken and mushroom pie was delicious. It is very popular so best book a table!

We have eaten here on many occasions and the food has been decent. However it has gone seriously downhill and after last night, we will not be coming back. We took friends who were visiting from the south of England and we were embarrassed at the appalling food. Two of us had the vegetable curry which was inedible and we had to send back. Our waitress was lovely and discounted the bill but we had to go home to eat. I have honestly never had such awful food. The curry(?) sauce tasted like sweet chutney and the vegetables consisted mainly of huge chunks of undercooked carrot with a few broccoli stalks, baby corn(?) and a slice of courgette. The rice was boil in the bag. The rest of the party had scampi and chips which they said was dry and mediocre. Very disappointing. The Coylet Inn is a lovely spot with glorious views - such a shame that the food is so bad.

Sadly this hotel has gone downhill (food wise) we used to dine here a lot but our last visit will be our LAST. Food was mediocre,I ordered a veggie burger,expecting a decent one like beyond burger or richmonds but no,this was a horrible cheap one...

Stunning location, great views from front bedrooms and lovely staff. Drying room is a great addition. However it is let down badly by the food. Dinner especially and breakfast were nowhere near as hoped. 4/10 for food.

Beautiful place staff are polite and helpful beer is reasonably priced, views are perfect, outside area on a nice day is perfect not bad on a wet day too. Highly recommended for a nice relaxing beer, food looks great but not tried.

Can't recommend it highly enough. The highlight of our trip to Scotland. We liked it so much we booked a 2nd night. Took a double kayak for a stunning paddle on the loch. Mountain biking nearby. Ate in the restaurant twice, fab cocktails, menu choice but the outstanding venison special on 2nd night is something we'll remember for a long time. Locally caught, tenderly prepared and cooked along with veg and mustard mash. Wow. Thanks to all the team Fiona, Alicia, Kerry, Martin who were brilliant and made us so welcome and of course Carl and Sandra for running a premises with such care and attention to detail, clearly years of experience. Our dog Dougal loved it too and was made equally welcome! Perfect location for exploring this beautiful area of Scotland. We will be back. Ged and Georgia.

Second year of visiting this area and the Coylet Inn . Friendly staff Limited menu but something for most people. We both had fish and chips which was clearly homemade , the batter was crispy and cooked to perfection. On ordering we were offered choice...
