Creagan Inn Bar & Restaurant in Argyll & Bute

A very warm friendly welcome, good basic pub food. Perfect for an informal ‘pub tea’ with lovely views. Made to feel welcome from start to finish. Highly recommend the home made pie.

We Had fish chips very tasty great service and the view brilliant had pint of larger tenents blast from the past been here before and will be coming again

GREAT VIEW, SHAME ABOUT THE SERVICE. When you have booked a table but turn up early and see several empty tables with a view but the the waitress tries to seat you in the hall next to the toilets. We said we would rather have a view, the waitress makes you wait until the reservation time despite the same several empty tables sitting 30 minutes. Left after being really badly treated despite living locally compared to tourists as one time visitors. No wonder the same tables were still empty when we left, we won’t be back either!

A well positioned bar and eatery on the outskirts of Appin with great views. We popped in for lunch which was very nice but, it was the welcome on arrival from the staff which made us feel really good. A warm welcome awaits anyone who visits here, so don't pass them by. Food very good and well priced.

Had a lovely lunch. Big shout out for the Sunday roast. It was so tasty and lots of beef. So glad we stopped here for food. The service was great too (sorry didn’t get the guys name but very friendly)

Stopped of here for a pint after a dog walk in nearby benderloch. it was unseasonably nice so we sat at the waters edge and enjoyed the beautiful view from the restaurant's beer garden area. nice and peaceful spot ! didn't eat on this occasion but the menu read well and the establishment looked very nice and well kept inside !

We actually were there in August 2022 while visiting from Canada. I've been meaning to write a review since then because we still haven't stopped talking about the Creagan Inn - one of the best meals I've ever had. There were 10 of us and every single one of us absolutely loved the food - the service was excellent as well. Two of our party had oysters and have said that they are spoiled now and can't order oysters here anymore - another said the same about the scallops. I had a mushroom toast that I still dream about, it was SO good. We were in Scotland for a month and this was one of the top highlights of our whole trip. I can't wait to go back again.

We arrived with family and friends ( 7 of us ) just as a coach trip leaving and we thought it was very busy and noisy But when they left we were so well looked after and food choices and quality of food was great. Very enjoyable evening and customer service excellent

The food here is seriously good, the views are breathtaking and the owners and staff are delightful

I've been here years ago and had good memories so was looking forward to a nice solo meal. I should have stayed in my campsite and cooked for myself. I had the scallops large plate. They arrived suspiciously fast. Each scallop had a slightly coloured top which turned out to be unchewable. The rest of it was poor - very soft and wet. They did not look like they should if served straight from the pan with a crisp seared top. They were presented on a deeply unpleasant mushy pea porridge with about a teaspoon of black pudding crumb. The waiter agreed with me the pea base wasn't nice but that was it. He said he told the chef. No apology. I paid the bill after refusing the service charge and beat a hasty retreat to my campsite for biscuits and cheese. Won't be returning!

Gutes Essen, grosse Portionen. Wir waren an einem Montagabend essen und es war gut ausgebucht. Die Aussicht ist fantastisch, man kann gut draussen sitzen. Abzug gibts bei der Sauberkeit, der Tisch war klebrig und die Speisekarte mit Ketchup beschmiert.

Fantastic lunch. Really tasty specials, lovely, unusual sodas mixed in house and amazing service from Callum & James. Oh, and the views are to die for!

Everything about our visit was fantastic, to the point that I felt I must leave this review to counter some of the negative ones we read before our visit. We were on holiday nearby and looking for a different restaurant for lunch and planned to visit the Creagan Inn, but having read the reviews on here we were put off. So we drove about 8 miles to check it out before committing (we were going to have a family cycle to lunch). Everything looked ok and we booked a table. Our cycle was longer than expected, so we arrived a little late for our booking, but this was not an issue and we were seated at a window table with beautiful view over the bay (it was a bit windy to sit outside). The two young men running the bar and floor were very helpful (if a little busy) and service was speedy. The food was excellent all round - clean plates for adults and kids. Do not be put off by the negative reviews - some people will find fault in anything. This place is great and well worth going out your way for a meal here.

I can’t recommend the Creagan Inn highly enough. The views are stunning but the welcome is also very friendly too. We turned up with four dogs but that wasn’t a problem at all, we all sat outside very happily. The food was really excellent too. It’s unpretentious pub food but done very well. Everyone in our group was happy and full. Definitely worth a trip out from Oban. Places like this deserve to succeed!

Great quality and value. We are local and go out for lunches every week. Creagan Inn is a place we hadn't been to for a while, mainly because we had been disappointed the previous couple of times. This was a year or more ago and we thought we would try it again. It has changed ownership since we last went and what a difference. It is back on our lunch "circuit". What a fabulous meal we had. Not inexpensive, but for what we had it was great value. Ham, egg and chips was the best I have had in a restaurant. Lovely, huge and tender ham slice at least 15mm thick, and 2 eggs along with tomato and peas. So much I had difficulty in eating it. We also had the fish with cheesy mash and pork steaks, all superb. Didn't have room for deserts, but i am sure they were great. Lots of local produce. The service was good and there is the opportunity to sit outside if the weather is good. Will be going here again soon!

Whilst on holiday we ate here twice. The staff are lovely and sitting outside seal spotting was the best of the experience. The food was very poor and expensive. Dried up sea food pasta bake, fish ( soggy and tasteless) and chips, mussels small and...

Amazing gluten free menu Big portions amazing spot Lovely staff and tasty food Both me and my boyfriend enjoyed the food

It’s a beautiful setting but that’s it! I wish I had read the reviews, it’s overpriced, the service and majority of the staff were rude and quite unpleasant and they had the cheek to include a 10% service charge, when there clearly wasn’t any service....

Probably the worst meal in years. What has happened to the place? Microwave central. The food was awful! Buns that were brick hard. Pulled pork that had never seen a barbecue. Fish dish tasteless, zero seasoning. What a pity as it used to be great.

Fantastic views from the terrace, lovely spot for a chill out with a glass of wine,which was expensive but you are paying for the view and the friendly staff, food was ok nothing outstanding

Bad food, no service,overpriced. That sums it up nicely. The menu was very limited to bar food. No table service. You had to order from the very unfriendly bar tender. I ordered a salad with hangar steak that cost 18 pounds. There was hardly any...

Fabulous spot with beautiful views over the loch. Very well done outside. Sit right by the loch or under cover on the patio. Another beautiful loch side pub slightly spoiled by average only food and staff. Food arrived too quickly to have been made from...

Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff, we were made to feel very welcome. The views are outstanding. Sadly didn't eat this time here but from what I seen..looks very good. We will definitely return.

What a find. First visit classic fish and chips, great sitting out on the terrace. Second visit we had the scolioses which were the best we have ever had. If your staying in the area you must go.

On a hot sunny day the view outside is to die for. The food however is pretty tragic. One dish - Crispy Chilly Beef was in fact large strips of beef, deep fat fried in batter with a mayonnaise dip. The other dishes were basic...

The view is beautiful but this is the first time ever I have had a 10% service charge added directly to my bill with out asking permission. Not happy!!

Great position but not much else. A very cold place that is trying to be a restaurant but caters for the pint and pool players. So not a place to enjoy a quiet meal. The menu was ok but disappointing that it wasn’t more focused...

We came here on a cold set and windy November night - the weather was inhospitable but the welcome was anything but. Great atmosphere lovely food - great attention to detail and I had a “whisky flight” I like whisky but no little about it...

We were lucky to find this place. The view is stunning, the staff incredibly friendly and the food was amazing to. They also were incredibly versatile at catering for a gluten and dairy intolerance.

Fantastic spot for a restaurant, looking out onto Loch Creran. Food is simple but really good,the scallop starter an absolute delight. James, the owner is very well versed on his whiskies and the staff were all very pleasant. Don't pass this place if you travel...

We visited twice - once in the evening the other at lunchtime. The result was the same. Food outstanding and the staff courteous and outgoing. If we were here longer we’d visit again. As I write this the owner was offering to help a disabled...

We stopped here for a drink after a walk and were enticed to try some of the 14 special ciders advertised at the bar. We decided to return for a meal later on. The menu is somewat limited but the business is new and like...

The views are spectacular. The Menu was a little unusual but really interesting but had loads of vegan and veggie options. Food was delicious and staff really welcoming.

We were staying in the campsite a short walk and came here for a meal. We found the staff to be really nice and efficient, nothing was a bother. The menu was good, a little pricey perhaps but our meal was so good we felt it was worth it. We both also had a dessert.The weather wasn't great but I could imagine how nice it would be to sit outside on a good day over looking the water.

We really enjoyed our meal here. I had fish and chips and my Husband had a few of the small plates. Our meals were absolutely beautiful and you could tell the fish was fresh! We also had a pudding which was delicious. All the staff were very friendly and polite and even gave our dog a little treat and a bowl of water. The restaurant is sat in the most beautiful location and if we are ever back in the area we will be back for another meal!

Firstly, the setting for the restaurant is picturesque by Loch Creran. Lots of lovely outdoor seating to take in all the views although a little too nippy for us today! On the menu it clearly states dietary requirements will be catered for and to ask the waiter. The chef came out to talk to me and advise what I could/ could not have which made me feel so at ease (people with intolerances will understand!) There were so many options for starter, main and pudding that I could have! The chef made me feel like nothing was too much trouble as you are sometimes made to feel with intolerances. I went for pea and ham soup (delicious!) which was served with a gluten free roll and then the gluten free fish and chips which were divine! The other five members of our party also thoroughly enjoyed their options. The service was warm and friendly. We will be returning next year for our annual trip up for the Scottish 6 day trial. Wish we lived nearer!

Holidaying in the Oban area, we have visited the Creagan Inn 4 times in the last week. Lunch has been lovely and good value for money. Stopped off today for afternoon coffee and scones, absolutely appalled to be charged £2.00 for a little tub of jam to accompany the mediocre scone. £2.75 for scone without jam. £4.75 with jam. When I asked the owner how he could justify £2.00 for a small pot of jam, he started ranting about the cost of running his business. I love to support local businesses, but do not like being ripped off. I will NOT be back.

We enjoyed a lovely meal last night the food was very good and the friendliness of the staff was simply excellent, very welcoming and helpful even gave our GSD a nice dog treat, add to that the beautiful view, made for a very enjoyable experience,

We had food twice over the weekend whilst saying nearby . Very friendly and welcoming staff who made it a very enjoyable experience.The food is freshly prepared and was first class and served promptly.The location is fantastic and on our second visit we were able to sit outside and take in the wonderful scenery.The Creagan Inn is well worth a visit and is a credit to the local area. Well done owners and staff

Second visit here to enjoy the view over the loch.Stopped off for late lunch/ coffee today.Fabulous mussels and scallops - perfect.Freshly baked lemon white chocolate and poppyseed scone with homemade rhubarb jam & chantilly cream.Great coffee too.We will be back again soon.

As a local resident, I realise the new owners of this venue are still trying to find their feet and so am inclined to cut them a bit of slack. We tried here not long after they took over and, while then a fairly extensive menu, the quality of the food disappointed. Yesterday, we tried again to find the menu very much reduced in choice. If you’re presenting a small menu (and it was) then you must do what you do very well. This was emphatically not the case - very basic presentation and poorly presented plate with little or no thought as to garnish or finishing touches. The fish was fresh enough but with rather greasy batter, skimpy on the chips with a tiny side bowl of mushy peas and another of tartar sauce. The price (£15) was not reflected in this ‘school dinnerish’ presentation. Others in our party had the other three menu choices and were equally if not more disappointed! These owners will have to pull their socks up of they hope to encourage year-round trade because, although they have the benefit of the holiday chalets nearby, they cannot afford to ignore local trade and I cannot help but think others will feel as we do and prefer to travel a bit further for their eating-out. Come on guys, you can do better!

Great staff, great location. Great outside space.Great to visit for cyclists and walkers.Minimal menu.Food on the whole was very disappointing.Home made pie and bean mix on a metal plate didn’t work. Pie was very dry and had no flavour.Chips were fantastic.Apple crumble took an age to come and was very watery when it finally arrived.

We came in here for one afternoon and two evenings one of which was with six friends. The staff were great the food was fine. My wife had the fish and chips and it was lovely. I had it this evening and it was OK. Having said that it had changed hands and had new staff and menu

Lovely bar and restaurant which is totally dog friendly. Gorgeous outlook over Loch. Friendly staff. What more could you ask for?

Visited here a year or so ago when it was a lovely coffee shop/restaurant. Made a return visit today and was very disappointed. I think it may have changed hands but the menu was very limited and food we had wasn’t very nice. Very tacky tables and inattentive staff. Sorry but we won’t be back.

Had food and drinks a couple of times here. Food lovely all freshly made and staff all lovely too. Definately plan to return in summer

We visited this restaurant on a Monday night (Pizza night menu) very VERY clean. When we entered we were the only people there but not surprising because of the time of year. We were informed that it was only pizza and "not pizza" part of the menu wasn't available which was fine. I had Black pudding and goats cheese. My partner had Haggis and Jalapeño. Both pizzas were delicious and good value.

Popped in on a Sunday lunchtime for a pint and a bit to eat. Received a warm welcome from the staff even with our 3 pugs in tow (biscuits for them on arrival). Staff very attentive and friendly. Lovely food, I order potato and broccoli soup and my husband ordered mussels & cullen skink, both arrived hot and tasty. Lovely cold sunny day, sat out on the terrace and enjoyed a second pint after lunch.As a vegetarian I thought the range on offer was superb, even my husband comment that selection sounded good.Would come back if in the area again even if its just to make sure we're on that clever CCTV ;)

Really enjoyed it here. We had quite a few meals over several days as we were staying locally. Kept coming back for more. Its so refreshing to see interesting and delicious food made from good local produce, but a step away from the norm. Not your run of the mill pub fare. And Pizzas too!! Stand out dishes for me were the incredible Mussels, Cullen Skink (always a favourite),Sunday roast and the loaded fries with a Scottish twist were to die for. Varied drinks menu too, including cocktails.The views are incredible, the staff are friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was warm (even a pool table!) and the overall experience was excellent. Will certainly be back next time we're this way.

New owners since our last visit.Lovely friendly welcome, chatty pleasant staff & still the great views across the bay.Good menu and tasty food and very reasonable prices.Good on them too for serving all day food, Wednesday to Sunday in October, in The Highlands!We'll return.

We were cycling and stopped off for lunch. We were greeted as soon as we arrived which was lovely and given menus and told it was table service. We sat outside as the weather was good. The waiting staff were really friendly and attentive. Service was excellent. We had the local lager and haggis croquettes which were really tasty. It was lovely sitting looking at the view and watching seals pop up now and again. A lovely memorable lunch. Thank you Creagan Inn and staff.

Overall a good meal for each of us. It took a while to queue and order at the bar, but the staff were very friendly and helpful, apologetic that they were short-staffed, and it really didn't matter in the end. The food was generally good, although I'd have to confirm it was on the pricey side for what it was (purely based on the fact that I had venison again later on in the vacation, and it wasn't close to the cost). It was all very good quality though, and served piping hot and fresh from the kitchens.

Food choices were great, very knowledgable and friendly staff and our meal was tremendous. Really nice place.

We stopped off at the Creagan Inn on our way to Oban and we were greeted by friendly staff at a location that is idyllic, at Appin on the banks of Loch Creran.Excellent & well priced food and a lovely ambience, despite the driving rain, we will visit again.

We popped in on the way home just for a couple of drinks and the view. Well, the view from the terrace is stunning! The service was perfect and we left very happy indeed.

We walked along from the local campsite for some food and drinks. Sat outside with the most loveliest views of the sun setting behind the hills. Good food and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of vegan options on their menu. Staff friendly. will definitely return.

We ate here twice during our week in Appin and would highly recommend. As some other reviewers have said, the view from the bar is simply breathtaking. I wish I had the option of sitting at my local and looking out at that view with a glass of lovely cold white wine whenever I wanted!On the first evening we had no booking so were delighted to get a table. The restaurant was quite busy so we expected a bit of a wait, but the drinks came really quickly, and the food was not far behind. The menu was varied and there was plenty of choice. There was the staple pizza and burgers, but some some interesting choices too and everyone enjoyed their meal. The menu on the second evening was different (Thursday evening) and again we all enjoyed our food.Staff were very attentive and friendly, and overall it was very good value for money.Recommend without hesitation.

Sat on the large outside patio and ordered from the specials board. Lovely staff, good food and a relaxed place to spend the evening.

We’ve visited twice this week and the food and service were great both times. I cannot think of a better location to have a wee dram and take in the view. Definitely worth a visit.

We were heading back South towards Oban and thought this looked like quite a nice place to stop. They had a few free tables on a terrace area that would be perfect for watching the sun set over Morvern later that evening. We ordered some food from quite an extensive menu, there was also a specials board with additional options. I had a Haddock Burger, battered haddock with chips and salad etc my wife had a Vegetarian Burger which was macaroni and sweet potato on a bin again with chips and salad. Both of these from the specials board. We spent a very pleasant few hours eating and watching the sunset here and would suggest that if you are passing it is well worth stopping and enjoying some food and looking at some stunning scenery. There are tables inside and out and the menu offered many options including a range of vegetarian meals.

Stopped for a quick cup of coffee and wished we’d been able to stay longer. Menus looked lovely. Staff friendly and helpful taking photos of our party. Best bit was the beautiful view out over the water from the terraces and other outdoor seating.

we had lunch on 6th August, outside in lovely weather. The food was wonderful, some of the best scallops I have eaten, and the staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. We couldn't fault it at all, and will certainly be going back next time we are down that way.

Just to say that this is an excellent place for Vegan choices. We eat there twice and on the small, lunchtime menu there were no less than four Vegan options! Quite simply the Crispy Tofu sticks we amazing - I liked them so much I had them the second time we came back. To be highly recommended in every department.

I booked a table here a few months in advance after looking at website. Unfortunately I was a little disappointed as the menu was limited on Tuesday which I wasn’t aware of when I booked. I ordered the quorn tacho, the quorn itself was tasteless and needed seasoning. The rest of my family said their food was nice. Staff were all or nothing, hovered over us until we scanned track and trace but then never came to see if food ok or ask if we would like desert or coffees. The inn itself is in a beautiful location and the views over the water made up for everything else.

Stopped here with a friend whilst camping in the area. The food was very tasty especially the mussels and cheesecake. The view however was AMAZING, stunning view over the water and lovely outdoor seating.

We had an excellent lunch here and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Creagan Inn. The location is stunning - especially if you're lucky enough to have good weather as we did. The service is friendly without being too intrusive. And the food was excellent too as well as reasonably priced.Some of our party had visited in the past under old management. They loved it then and still love it now.Restaurants like this deserve to be visited and deserve to do well, especially through tough times like these.

Seven adults enjoyed tasty vegan, fish and meat evening meals on the ‘Tuesday night’ menu. The battered tofu was an unexpected 1st class surprise and, of the pizzas ordered, can fully recommend the two tone pizza. The hostess and service was very good, food arrived quickly. The view over the loch was amazing and would definitely return for another visit.

The food was good, prices doesnt bite, service great, atmosphere cosy, view amazing - all you need to do is bring the good mood! ;) If you come with bad mood - order couple of shots - maybe it will pick your spirits up ;) Thank you to staff, who were so busy on a day :)

Popped in for a pizza and a drink with the family. Staff couldn’t have been more attentive or pleasant. After our meal we grabbed a couple of desserts after being recommended one by the lady that looked after us. Considering how rough the last year has been for the trade everyone had a smile on their face, and didn’t seem out of practice so kudos to them. Cannot recommend enough

The service at this place is horrendous. No body comes to attend to you once you've eventually placed your order. You're left to fend for yourself, not asked how your meal is or if you want desert, the waitress collected our plates and walked off without a word. The best thing that happened to us was we emailed a Complaint in and got a rude, abusive response from the looney owner, which I've attached. Customer service is not a priority, just making money is. This is a truthful review and I would recommend giving this place a miss.

Fabulous meal and super attentive staffing…will definitely visit again and most definitely recommend.

We were staying a short walk away so visited twice. Once for drinks and again for a meal. Service was quite slow when we went for drinks but the restaurant was busy and most establishments are running slower than normal now that everywhere is opening back up. We were sitting on the lower level outside so easy to miss us. Either way it was a gorgeous hot and sunny night with a beautiful view. Returned a few nights later for a meal and everything was delicious, couldn’t fault the food at all. Would definitely visit again when we’re back in the area.

Me and my husband enjoyed an evening meal here while on holiday in the area. We had heard that it has recently changed owners/management and seen some negative comments on here recently, but as they seemed to be from people that had visited under the previous management and comparing it we were not phased as we hadn’t visited the restaurant before. What we found was very friendly and attentive staff, quick service, a varied and affordable menu and very tasty food - the portion sizes were decent as well. I had the cheese burger with onion rings and fries and my husband had the fish and chips. We both enjoyed our main courses and in particular the hand-cut chips. We then both had the apple and blackberry crumble with ice cream, which was also very good. We hope that this restaurant thrives and that any issues or bad vibes from locals are resolved…our experience of the food and the staff was faultless. Such a beautiful setting as well!

Visited for lunch with my parents and my toddler last Sunday. What a beautiful lunch!! Service was fantastic, and quick! very attentive staff… stopped for a chat with my wee boy a few times 😍 An overall lovely experience

* Warm welcome * Stunning setting * Fabulous food (especially vegan) Would definitely visit again. Could not fault our visit😊

We stayed nearby in a campsite and came here for lunch today. We both had the tacos, husband had chicken and I had fish, and they were absolutely delish. Especially the fish. Smoked haddock tempura goujons. Initially the greeter was a bit standoff-ish, but to be expected in today’s climate, and then we had the delight of comedy from a gentleman who worked there. I’m sad to say I didn’t get his name because he well and truly made the experience as delightful as those fish tacos. It’s on a lovely spot looking over the water and I look forward to returning again soon.

We went here a few nights ago. Staff were so kind and accommodating however unfortunately there were lots and lots of wasps in the restaurant. We ordered our food which was a little pricy, I got the pizza. Unfortunately the “katsu tofu sticks” my granddaughter got, which she was looking forward too were a huge disappointment. The tofu wasn’t seasoned at all and there was no katsu? Just fried tofu with ketchup in the side. The fries were good but unfortunately this was a real letdown considering it was over £10. The meals also came in cardboard boxes with dry lettuce. Not great…We will come back for sure and don’t want to discourage efforts to incorporate vegan options as these are welcomed, however the food still needs to taste good.

We chanced our luck on a miserable rainy day and we got a table with a view. The restaurant was extremely busy to the point where they did have to turn people away. We were informed that there was only 2 people in the kitchen and we may have a wait, but we had no where to be and was content to wait. The food was amazing, credit to the personnelIn the kitchen. The staff were welcoming, informative and very pleasant under busy circumstances. We had our dog and there was no fuss and he was given water on arrival. This is a great venue - try it but maybe want to book ahead, we were lucky!

Awesome views, great food and drink with brilliant, attentive service.A perfect lunch stop.Not forgetting the excellent play list. So nice to have contemporary music instead of the more common 'muzak'. Kudos to the waiter who was responsible And of course, they are very dog friendly with water and treats supplied.Look forward to returning soon

Booked a table inside on our first night in the area. We were pleased we had booked as people were turned away because there were no tables available. The restaurant appeared well organised and we soon got seated at our requested table. I had the special which was grilled salmon with salmon fish cake, asparagus (one piece) green beans and mash. My partner had the haddock and chips. I enjoyed my dish but thought it was quite a small portion especially for £16.50! My partner thought the fish was ok but nothing special and again was quite a small portion. I think this area is known more for shell fish so maybe haddock wasn’t the right choice. The staff here appear to be very hard working and friendly but if I was to visit the area another time I would probably try another place. Great views though.

We were staying in the caravan park nearby and this place was recommended on the caravan website. 5-10 min stroll along the road. Beautiful views to sit outside and in. Drinks are reasonably priced so is the food. Cocktails are small but no scrimping on the alcohol and they tasted good. All our meals were ready quickly and delivered to our table hot. Food tasted amazing. Staff friendly and helpful. Place was busy so depending when you visit I suggest making a reservation in advance. We all really enjoyed our visit so much so we visited again the following evening to be met with the same standards. Well worth a visit or two.

Visited with my husband and 16 year old son. Son had chicken ramen which tasted awful and did not eat. Staff not concerned when brought to their attention. No recompense and still waiting for the pudding menu. Otherwise a beautiful setting and food fair.

Me and my family stopped in for a meal as we were passing by and we’re glad we did, the food was lovely and the staff were very friendly we would recommend to friends and return ourselves.

We popped along with some friends and sat outside The views are incredible and the kids loved playing on the beach I enjoyed a mojito and house waffle, I could have been sitting in the Caribbean!Ive read some of the other reviews and think some people should be a little more understanding! times have changed and all hospitality is struggling with staff and supplies , considering this I think these guys are doing a Great job!Take a trip along and enjoy in the ambiance don’t listen to all the moaners and negative peoplePositive vibes xxxx

We visited the Creagan Inn earlier this week. We had read the reviews and went with an open mind thinking how difficult it must be for a new business to get up and running, particularly when faced with a few poor reviews during the settling in period. One of the attractions was the gluten free options, it made a nice change to have them. We were not disappointed, the food was good and the staff attentive, polite and hardworking. The views were spectacular. Can recommended without hesitation.

After reading what can only be described as a mix of reviews for the Creagan Inn to be honest I didn't know what to expect! Having not visited before the change of ownership, I can't compare the current Creagan to 'the before times'. What is on offer now is friendly service, tasty beer and pretty good food. It's not your standard 'west coast of Scotland' establishment and by that I mean it felt more modern and with the times - there was indie rock music playing and multiple vegan options! We went on pizza night - it was pretty average but all the same it was nice to see something different on a menu. Loaded fries were delicious and a good selection of desserts too. Price was as expected for this area and of course the views over the bay were beautiful. With a few tweaks I think the Creagan will be on to winner. Will certainly pop by again when in the area.

Arrived for brunch as a mid stop during a cycle, they had bike holders and option to sit inside or outside. We sat outside to make the most of the view. Fish tacos were delicious and fish & chips had good quality fish. Staff were friendly too would go back if in the area.

We were told tables in before us would be served meals first which we were fine with, then 2 tables arrived in after us and were served their main and starter before our starter even arrived. It took 1 hour for our starter to even arrive then waited another lengthy amount of time for our mains. That long 1 of the tables that arrived after us had ate their meals and payed their bill. Friendly waiters though, I can’t fault them at all! The meal as well has a sprinkle of haggis on the meals when before it was a full slice of haggis. So found for the price of the meal, the portion sizes of certain meal items was ridiculous. Definitely pricey for the amount of food you get on your plate!
