The Kames Hotel in Argyll & Bute

Our family party of 10 had a most memorable dinner this evening. Excellent-quality local food cooked to perfection. I had a pressed oxtail dish which was the most flavoursome beef dish I can remember. Superb. Thanks to all involved.

Our family visited for an evening meal, the girl behind the bar was friendly however our order was taken by the curly blonde haired lady (who was serving in between having cocktails and cigarettes outside). Her service was abrupt and lacking a Scottish welcome. We felt like we were eating in a Wetherspoons venue. The menu offered good choice, the burger was good. The fish & chips unfortunately lacked taste or quality (batter soggy, chips undercooked) and for £19.50 it was on the expensive side we felt. There is a full bar offering with many draught beers which is great if in the area. Based on our experience, I would say this venue is best for a drink stop and best avoided if dining.

We booked two nights of bed and breakfast for a couple of days away to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Our original plan was to eat elsewhere that night, but on looking at the hotel menu which looked interesting and inventive, we decided to stay put. My husband ordered the roasted goat shank with puy lentils and I had a starter as a main of goat's cheese and salad with pickled beetroot. Both were good. The staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgable. A true measure of a good hotel is when things don't go completely right and how they handle it. We had a problem with our room on the first night. My husband mentioned it at breakfast and the manager moved us to a different room on our second night. Their positive attitude made all the difference in whether we would return on another occasion.

Fantastic food in a spectacular location. Hot smoked salmon starter was amazing. Staff were lovely. We arrived by boat and appreciated the free mooring offered by the hotel.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. A tad pricier than I expected for a hotel bar meal but prices are going up everywhere. At least the portions were decent.

Good food and good service. The homemade steak pie was excellent. The bar had been converted into a restaurant since we were last there. The revamped decor and lighting were a bit stark and lacking the ambience of the old bar. The prices were roughly in line with Portavadie Marina and both highlight their local suppliers, but the Kames has a pub grub feel.

We needed an impromptu stop due to travel issues on Argyllshire. We'll we fell on our feet with this fantastic hotel...we cannot speak highly enough of all the staff...if you are thinking of a hotel with a great view, fantastic feel and friendly staff...look no further

Lovely setting, yummy food & fantastic service! Great place to go for food Mussels to start, then steak pie and as a treat sticky toffee pudding Highly recommend Thankyou

Stayed at a cottage in Kames for a week. Weather was fantastic. Regularly dropped into Kames Hotel for drinks and food. The food was of a very high standard and all 8 of us agreed that we would definately be back - the 2 dogs also agreed as the hosts were exceptionally friendly and attentive to both humans and dogs. Five stars all the way - we will be back.

Lovely hotel with the personal charm of a guest house. Stayed 3 nights and was made to feel so welcome. Neil who keeps the bedrooms tidied and supplied daily an absolute treasure. Excellent breakfast menu and the restaurant with sea view serving really good food. The guest lounge with comfortable chairs and warmed with a wood burning fire is the perfect place to relax with a book and watch the ever changing moods of the sea. Good value for money

A family visit was in order after reading the online reviews. We wasn't disappointed. The food was exceptional as were the staff. Great views and atmosphere. If your in the area, it's a must. Yes, some would say the prices are on the high side but you get what you pay for. 100% recommended!

We visited as a group of four and ate the rib eye steak, scallops and pork belly, followed by the cheese board. The steak was delicious and tender and although we ordered the pepper sauce we didn't use it for fear of spoiling the taste of the meat. The scallops were large and fresh and were a fabulous complement to the moist black pudding and cauliflower puree. The pork belly was equally scrumptious. The staff were friendly and the service good. The only disappointment was that we were leaving Scotland the following day and so couldn't go back for another meal!

I visited with 2 other friends for a meal. have mixed feelings about this place. The surroundings and decor were beautiful. The food was excellent, the waiting staff were very good and very friendly. The barman was very pleasant. That's the good points. £6.20 for a pint of Lager is just ridiculous. The food was a bit pricey too but it was good. The worst experience was the rather opinionated pushy Polish gentleman who insisted on buying us shots and wouldn't take no for an answer. He got very annoyed and the waitress had to apologise for him. From what she said it seemed like it wasn't the first time. Perhaps it was a one off but if it wasn't management need to sort that out. We would have stayed on after our meal for another drink but not with the atmosphere in the bar.

Amazing Restaurant at this lovely Hotel. Used one of their boat moorings and came ashore with our dog. Such friendly owners who gave us plenty of chat and very dog friendly. Restaurant lovely and what a view! Staff and service so polite and helpful. And then came the food. Absolutely delicious and great portions. Will be back!!

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed the excellent Kames Hotel before. We first encountered it when we were house hunting in the area when we stayed in an fantastically comfortable room with views over the west Kyle, and had a sumptuous Scottish breakfast in the gorgeous dining room with the same view. The last time we visited was last night, and in the intervening two years we have paid numerous visits. You are assured of a very warm welcome in the Kames bar restaurant. The service is generous and friendly. The food is great, featuring excellent ingredients simply but expertly prepared, a good menu with something for everyone (including this fussy gluten free pescatarian!) and a range of specials. Portions are generous, and there is a fabulous range of whiskies with which to finish your meal. Booking is advised, as they get busy with locals as well as visitors to the area. Highly recommended.

Very luxurious with a beautiful view, friendly, helpful staff who couldn't do enough to help with our enquiries ( we were a bit lost due to Sat Nav issues). It was almost worth getting lost to find this place. Thoroughly recommend for a relaxing stay.

We chose the Kames Hotel because it was close to where we wanted to be, and it was dog friendly. We’ll go back because it’s wonderful. Great food, friendly staff, lovely rooms and views to die for. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

We celebrated our marriage at Kames and cannot thank Irene and her team enough for going above and beyond and making our day extra special. Our day was better than we could ever of imagined. The scenery is spectacular and all our guests have commented on what an amazing time they had in a stunning location and venue. The food was delicious, of high quality, and portion sizes generous. Staff are friendly and attentive, rooms clean and comfortable and decorated to a high standard. Our wedding ceremony was held in the local parish church which is just a few minutes walk from the hotel where we were made to feel most welcome. To top it all off the sun shone all day and and we are forever grateful to Irene and the team at Kames hotel for making our day simply perfect in everyway. Mr & Mrs G

Visited here recently for lunch and were not disappointed. We had the open prawn sandwich which came with salad and crisps. Would certianly recommend.

I rarely write a poor review but today I feel I have little choice. COVID - one way system designated but followed by few. No sanitiser in the dispenser and no others visible. A large party arrived with very few wearing masks - I not aware of them being challenged and several comings and goings, ignoring the one way system, or wearing masks, was worrying. Some staff used masks, at least one rarely wore a mask but still served. I was rather surprised that my food order was taken from my table by a server who stood by the till and called over to me. Starters fine. Main dishes poor with microwaved (I can only assume) steak and ale pie. Fish and chips, much lauded here on Trip advisor reviews was very poor with greasy fish and very dry mushy peas. Chips were fine. Why did my main course arrive half way through my starter? Having been a regular diner I fear I shall not return.

Visited here for dinner on two nights on our recent holiday. Food was excellent with a good choice menu. The food is sourced locally and the provenance displayed in the restaurant. The dining room is bright and welcoming and service was friendly. The restaurant was busy so probably best to book in advance.

Some of the best chips we've ever had. The batter on the fish was wonderfully light and crispy. Steak pie was also brilliant as it was a real pie not just a square of pastry.

We had a lovely meal. The steak pie was different but excellent! The service was very friendly and covid secure. They had spare tables but turned customers away due to lack of staff due to covid isolation. This is a sign of a good place, serve those you can well and don't try to cash in and have a poor service.Worth a vsit.

Stopped in for Cullen Skink absolutely lovely but expensive for the portion size. Beautiful views when sitting outside

4 of us had dinner here and would recommend it. If you like fresh seafood this is an ideal place, although they did some nice meat dishes as well, not too fancy, family run and at reasonable prices. We felt very welcome and the service was good.

We had lunch here this week, sitting outside as it was a beautiful day. The menu was varied, food fresh and delicious and our server was very welcoming and attentive. Our pup was given water and treats . Dogs are welcome indoors as well as outside. Great lunch

Visited The Kames for a couple of evening meals over a short stay. Experience on both occasions was very similar. Perfectly pleasant restaurant with nice views and decent decor. Food was average though - better than pub grub but not deserving of the prices charged. Cullen Skink was tasty, but clearly heated in a microwave, and not well. Venison sausages were good, but the accompaniments were lacking (bland potatoes and frozen veg). Service was far from attentive, pleasant enough waitress/waiter but I just wish they’d been more present - I’d happily have ordered more drinks if we’d been asked. Not awful but definitely room for improvement.

Great service, great food, great views. What's not to like?! Terrace looks straight over the shoreline and across to Bute. Try the fish and chips or the burger with black pudding. Extensive range of whiskies

I had lunch and dinner with my partner, the burghers were delicious, very meaty with well cooked chunky chips. The scallops with black pudding were very fresh and cooked very well. Mussels as main were tasty and fresh. All meals were accompanied by good local ales. Service very good and attentive and friendly. Definitely I like to go back!

Pleasant evening spent in covid secure surroundings, food plentiful and well presented will be returning soon

Clearly very popular and justifiably so - excellent local seafood and meat; good friendly service. Bar serves well-kept local beer with a decent wine list; dining room looks out over the West Kyle of Bute towards the island with boats moored and heron fishing. A lovely spot.

Excellent hotel, spotless, staff couldn't do enough for you. Breakfast and dinner first class. Staff totally adhered to covid rules. I will return.

What a brilliant hotel! Stayed here for 4 nights and had a fantastic time! The food was amazing and the view we had from our room was to die for! We certainly would recommend this hotel and hope to come back in the very near future. Irene and Scott are the perfect hosts!

What a friendly place to have a drink - bright and cheerful and loved the old photos of the hotel and Kames. Had a delicious meal - specials are very special and utterly delicious and ingredients seem to be sourced locally. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area

Had many meals here and they never disappoint. Friendly service, satisfying portions, and the apple crumble is the star of the show!

Great location on the beach. Good food and even better service. Would definitely recommend the hotel for dining

This could have been a much more positive review if only they were taking the C19 precautions that they should be, staff masks were a choice by the look of things, wearing them correctly not enforced. Such a shame when the food was so good

Having been let down by our first restaurant choice, Irene and her team at the Kames Hotel welcomed our party of 8 with an hour's notice this morning (22/7/2020) . Delicious breakfast menu with plentiful toast and coffee top ups !! Our earlier disappointment has quickly changed to satisfaction !!

Nice friendly venue with food that just hits the spot! Stayed for a few nights and tried something different every night and loved it all. Highly recommended.

We were staying at the Hotel and booked for dinner for later in the evening. This was our 2nd visit here and 2nd time we have eaten here also, Although it has been through a change of management. The service and food were most delightful, However a small issue, is that I am not sure with dogs being allowed into the dining area while folks are eating, Although on saying that, all the dogs while we were there, were very well behaved and well mannered and never caused an issue. I wasn't aware it was dog friendly since our last visit in June 2019. Although no issues to us. I can see where it will not suit all. However The food was plentiful, The Rib Eye steak most exquisite. A really good piece of food. I did have my eye on the venison pie to which my partner had. Really loved the selection of beers, and the clientele made our stay most delightful

Loved our stay here in wilds of winter. Lovely welcoming hosts and great food. Even lent us some wellies for the beach walk. Fantastic views of the Kyle's. Could spend a week here easily.

Although we hadn't booked a table for evening meal the owner accommodated us in the restaurant where we had a lovely meal served by a very pleasant and knowledgeable waitress.We then went to the lounge where they have a great range of gin for you to choose.

A group of us were up in the area and decided on the Kames Hotel for dinner. What a beautifully welcoming hotel....bar is well stocked.....food is excellent, fresh, local and good portions...staff are friendly and chatty..... we are definitely coming back, the food was so good.....

When staying at Portavadie we went to Kames Hotel for a meal one night. The food and choice was good.

What a warm, welcoming place for families and dogs. After a morning messing around on the Kyles we canoed to Kames and just loved this place. Great seafood (I had the mussels) and dog biscuits for hungry crew ;-). Went back a few times during our week at Carry Farm. Fab.

A wonderful dog friendly restaurant on the hotel. The food and service excellent. Good choice of dishes

Stayed overnight on a road trip and would have given 5* for the evening meal. Wide menu, comfortable surroundings, excellent service from just the 2 or 3 chatty staff who seemed to do everything out front, and lovely food. Our super room had a sea view and when they say a sea view here they mean a proper sea view!!!! All wonderful and we so looked forward to breakfast. But it was such a let down. A young lady occasionally took orders & eventually delivered food but that apart we were left to our own devices....to some hilarity others in the dining room explained whatever the procedures were, how to use the tea/coffee machines & capsules and how to get your own toast etc. A good way to meet fellow visitors but not the best way to part company.

We went both nights for dinner on a local stay last week and were more than delighted. Fish and chips simply outstanding. Friendly owner and staff. Nice refurb to bright modern feel. Best local restaurant we found.

Had a lovely meal here, we walked over from Tighnabruaich and were luck enough to get a table outside on a glorious sunny day, great food and great wine list, cant fault the place.

Great little gem of a place - we stayed for an hour for a few drinks then went back the next day for a meal while we stayed at Portavadie - The hotel did have rooms and the location over looking the water was lovely.

Went for evening meal. Great service, nice food. Catered for vegan and GF diets. Beautiful views. What more could you want?

Visited for lunch last week and it was fantastic. I had lovely fresh white haddock and chips as did another member of my group while the other one had a large burger. Great food and polite service at a fair price. Highly recommend

Stayed in Kames village and called in to the Kames Hotel for lunch following a beautiful walk along the shore. Lovely warm welcome, we arrived right at the point the kitchen was closing but it was no trouble at all they took our order. My wife had the soup and said it was delicious, I went for the steak pie, chips and veg but asked for no veg and the gap to be filled with chips, I always ask this but rarely have success, on this occasion the gap was definitely filled. The pie was home made and absolutely delicious used the bread from my wife’s plate to mop up the gravy. Oh and the chips were excellent too.

Great room at the front , room 2 in fact, everything about the place is tastefully done and to a very high standard. The beers and wines are reasonably priced. The food is well cooked and presented and reasonably priced with a good choice of local produce. The staff are always welcoming and attentive , and we will continue to come back here to stay when in the area.

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights Mon Tues 10th &11th June service was 1st class and the food was excellent would recommend it to anyone

On a family overnighter, from Portavadie ferry, we were sorry not to be able to stay longer. Great newly revamped, friendly hotel right on loch side. Perfect skimming beach for a 10 year old. The food was superb, well presented and locally sourced .

Went here for lunch. Ordered fish/chips and a beer. The food was nice and tasty. The even made a nice Irish coffee for dessert. Nice place for a quick lunch.

Managed to get a table short notice on Friday night with my two brothers and friend, thanks to Irene you are a star ⭐️

Stopped here by chance. Lovely view from the bar and dining room. Recently refurbished. Good service and excellent food. Thought the desserts a bit pricey so didn't have any, but otherwise impressed. Well worth a visit

We nipped for lunch in while passing by on a bit of a road trip. We were greeted by the staff and made to feel very welcome. The interior had recently been refurbished and had a great feature fireplace. The food was lovely and piping hot, couldn't fault it, and very reasonably priced. Can absolutely recommend the Kames Hotel.

On the water's edge a beautifully modernised hotel and restaurant. Our family with a toddler had great food and service in the restaurant. Really 5 star food - beef, venison etc as good and better than many of the trendy / posh restaurants in our home town of Glasgow. And of course the service and choice of malt whiskeys was excellent. Well worth a visit and thanks very much

Enjoyed our evening meals at the kames hotel. The food was perfect & a great choice on the menu. the refreshed interior with the soft seating around the fire gives it a homely feeling. All the staff are so friendly & ensure a enjoyable experience

Have visited twice in total and thus most recent visit to the restaurant was spot on. We are vegetarian and dont often eat out in highlands scotland due to lack of options but we are both chuffed we did.

Back for more pleasure, after a long week of deer stalking in the hillside.

Two families made very welcome and excellent fish/ burgers. Kids really enjoyed it. Recently decorated and much more welcoming for families without the large pool table dominating.

We were staying for several days at Portavadie Resort (separately reviewed) and after a few days of the same menu and very expensive drinks, we decided we had to make the great escape for an evening. The Kames was recommended to us by family members who frequently use it when sailing on the Clyde and the Kyles of Bute - i.e. the well off side of the family! Just 10-15 minutes drive from Portavadie, the Kames is a lovely friendly hotel with a choice of dining in the restaurant or the large bar - we dined in the restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by a menu with a good choice of meals at reasonable prices (not sure if it's the same menu in the bar). Service was lovely and friendly and we had the added bonus of chatting to a large family group who were up from "down south" to celebrate the grandparents golden wedding. All in all a great evening. PS if you go for a stroll along the seafront before or after your meal. be sure to apply copious amounts of midgie repellent - haha!

My partner was lucky enough to win the 3 course Christmas meal over a competition over Facebook, we had never been to The Kames Hotel before so we were excited about this.

Food menu is wide and varied and the portions generous! Good selection behind the bar and good draught real ale!

Could not fault this place. We were staying in the village of Tighnabrauich and decided to call for an evening meal. Extremely friendly and welcoming and ‘yes’ dogs are allowed and very welcome. Water and dog biscuits were readily given and nothing was too much trouble. Wide selection of drinks and food available and if you like Gin, take your pick. Meal was superb, fresh and hot and the service was excellent. Very friendly staff who we chatted too over a drink and there was no rush to move you on. Food and drink reasonably priced as you would expect and the views over the loch are stunning. Will not hesitate to recommend it or call again when we are in the vacinity

Guys. You need to stop being so defensive towards your critics. After all, that’s how you made them feel. A visit to your hotel is an experience and when it’s a poor one It hurts both parties. Act on it positively and it can seriously improve your business. Listen, improve and reap the rewards. I have to agree that the hotel has lost its warmth and charm but you can bring it back. Treat every customer like your only customer and you can’t go wrong. I will give it another go next year, but if things haven’t improved I won’t be so supportive in my review.

Excellent service for a family meal and dog friendly. What a location. The stunning views and excellent food made this a fantastic lunchtime visit for the family of 5 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs. Food was great. I had the steak pie which was excellent although when I saw the burger I wished I had gone for that! Luckily it was too big for my son to finish so I was able to sample that too. It was as good as it looked. Other family members had the fish and chips and a smoked salmon sandwich. All of which was of great quality and generous portions. A must visit for anyone visiting the West coast...

Since when the the Kames turn into a fast food restaurant? Quite a few of us went for dinner, we had to pay for it at our table, and within a minute our food was in front of us. Fast food at its best! No warm welcome, just a ‘what do you want to order, pay now, here’s your food’. All about the money, and sadly completely lost its personality - the lovely warm hospitality has gone, which is very sad. Won’t rush back. Try Portavadie - the staff are lovely!

the food was brilliant , the fish was to die for and the price was fantastic for the quality and freshness another thing to note is that they pour a lovely pint . staff are pleasant and helpful and location is lovely .

This was where we had a splendid lunch. Everyone in our party felt that the food was above average for the price. Excellent freshly-caught fish was on the menu.

Food was brilliant, have been here before but this time I came with my boyfriend; we had a lovely meal, staff were extremely pleasant and couldn’t do enough for us! I’m a giant food lover and had the sticky chicken aswell as the cheesecake on the specials menu, whilst my boyfriend had the beef burger and a sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Absolutely delicious and couldn’t recommend it more. Staff even let us have a look around some of the newly refurbished rooms and they look beautiful.

Spent a few nights here with the girlfriend, and it has been an absolute delight. Absolutely brilliant ! All the food is freshly prepped and locally sourced, chips are hand cut and tasted sublime. Rooms were beautifully made up, and the staff were very happy and pleasant, left a good tip !

We stayed here for 2 nights in the largest room in the hotel at £125/night. View from room was amazing, overlooking the loch. Room recently decorated, nice bed, nice bathroom, spotlessly clean, tasteful colours. All this was great. However experience in bar and breakfast was not so great. First night curry and veggie burger were ok. Second night goats cheese tart and salad, with sand and a stone in the salad, and chips undercooked which my fiancée found inedible! Chef was new and we were informed that he had not washed the salad! Salad was also drenched in oil which made it inedible. Breakfast - full scottish breakfast was quite greasy. Porridge was lumpy and looked and tasted undercooked. Second day porridge looked exactly the same; other guests were also complaining the porridge wasn't cooked, and ours was served with cream which tasted off and a side dish of olive oil rather than honey! Other guests were complaining that there was no cereal without sugar, and asking when their food would be delivered. On checkout we were told that the stone in the salad can happen with freshly prepared food! In summary; newly refurbished hotel in a prime location which is clearly trying to make an effort, but being very badly let down by the kitchen. Would only stay here again if kitchen is improved.

Staying nearby for a couple of days we had dinner here on Friday evening and came back for more on Saturday. The food was very good,all locally sourced and freshly cooked. Efficient friendly staff and lovely views over the loch.

we went to Kames hotel on a recommendation from someone whilst we were staying at Portavadie. we went on the Friday night and wow the food was amazing. the service was quick and friendly but the food was so good we went back again for dinner on the Saturday night.

Been there twice, with 2 friends.

Stopped off on our way back from Portavadie. We hadn't booked but managed to get a table in the bar as we were in just as they started to serve evening meals at 5.30 pm. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food did not disappoint. I was with my husband and 13 year old daughter and we all cleared our plates. Would highly recommend but maybe book so not to be disappointed.

Where to begin? We sat in the restaurant section to a stunning view of the bay and from there things only improved. The service from the 2 girls in the restaurant was great, the food was even better (hats off to the chefs) and then the owners came round to have a wee chat with us which was the icing on the cake for us.

I stayed at the Kames Hotel whilst in the area on business . It was a very nice experience. I have travelled far and wide and stayed in many really nice hotels , but this hotel is right up there with the best , excellent food , lovely rooms and friendly staff . The owners Jimmy and Lily , go out of their way to make you feel welcome , and make your stay very enjoyable. I will be back

Sitting outside admiring the stunning views this hidden gem is a must if your in the area Set in a quiet spot we had a lovely long lunch letting the world go by

If you are looking for good, well cooked food in a friendly setting with great views - then this is the place for you.

We where staying near by and thought it would be nice to go for dinner and was looking forward to it. We parked up, my partner was putting my mum into the wheelchair. I went in to see if there was a table for three, there was. I also asked if there was wheelchair access, I was told no, and offered no help. We managed to get the wheelchair up the three steps but couldn’t get the wheelchair in the door, it was a double door but the latch was painted over, we left very upset. This is I felt was totalling unacceptable.

Visited the Kames Hotel three times during our week in Kames, once for lunch and twice for dinner in the evening.

A very good restaurant menu with lots of local produce and provenance. The dining room was very busy but coped very well with the amount of covers and the staff still had time for the customers, always a good sign. As an added bonus, on a beautiful night, the view of the Kyles of Bute was stunning.

We visited the Kames Hotel on a sunday afternoon with our dog and enjoyed a pint in the lovely beer garden, surrounded by amazing views across to Bute and beyond. This was our first visit to Kames and we decided to stay for an early dinner. Great choice of locally sourced pub food - we particularly liked the blackboard stating provenance of all produce. We both had the fish and chips (i changed my mind at the last minute after seeing another customers plate) which arrived very quickly and could not be faulted. Staff were extremely friendly and attentive and we hope to be back in the future.

Our first visit after change in ownership and, of course, one expects changes. The first change to greet us was that they no longer served the rather enjoyable Fine Ales from just up the loch. The alternative was anEdinburgh Real Ale - not a huge problem but why when there are really good ales produced locally? The menu is little changed and we enjoyed the food on offer. I suspect we will get used to the changes and would wish the new owners all the very best.

We were visiting family in Tighnabruaich, and normally end up in the Kames for a few beers to begin the evening. This time five of us stayed and had dinner, having moved through to the dining room. The meals were all lovely and the service from the young staff was professional and pleasant. We met James and Lily, the proprietors, who were both very welcoming and friendly, and who checked were all happy with the food. Excellent overall, well done.

We drove over from Dunoon to meet our son and daughter in law for lunch one day. Got parked, seated and greeted quickly. Friendly staff at bar. This is essentially a pub restaurant and none the worse for that! Food was good portion size. Hot and well cooked. We had a variety of dishes and could not complain about any of it. The place has a nice ambience and we'll be back!

The food is fantastic , and staff are really helpful and pleasant. Lily the owner is a very cheery,chatty and lovely lady. I would totally recommend eating here. The food is local and plentiful and fab. Lily you are a star x.

Our driver phoned this restaurant the day before to see if they could manage a full coach load of people . Well they came into the coach to welcome us and did an excellent job of taking our lunch orders . Most just needed soup and sandwiches and everyone were very happy with the selection on offer and when they arrived beautiful plates of delicious sandwiches .Soups were piping hot and their sticky toffee pudding was to die for .Well done to the staff for coping in such a friendly way .

Had dinner Saturday night - typical hotel restaurant, nice atmosphere, attentive service and locally sourced food.

During a two-night stay at the Kames Hotel we had diner on both nights - the Saturday in the impressive dining room, overlooking the Kyles of Bute and the Isle of Bute, and the Sunday in the cosy, informal relaxed bar-cum-eating area.

We were staying at Ormidale over Christmas and took a trip to the pub, which had a full size pool table, was pet friendly and great food. Stunning location right on the loch. Would recommend.

Had a lovely overnight stay in Kames hotel. Room lovely with a stunning view over to Bute. Had a wonderful sleep such a comfortable bed. Food excellent steak for both of us with a delicious bottle of Rioja. Breakfast cooked to order and also lovely. Would go back in a heartbeat

Our family of 8 (four adults, four children and a dog) went into the hotel after a walk on the beach.

Just had a Christmas lunch with the local art club. It was delicious with a menu to suit all and reasonably priced. Staff charming, friendly and helpful.ambiance cosy and festive.
