The Manor House Hotel in Argyll & Bute

Great food, quick service, reasonably priced. Can't fault it!

Great wee place to pass the time. We have been here three or four times and have been lucky enough to have sunny weather each time. Consequently we have only sat outside on the south facing front to admire the view over the Holy Loch and Clyde. Good coffee and great cakes, not your normal tired looking Victoria sponge, we both had a slice of French Apple Cake this time. What more can you ask for? Well although we haven’t had anything more than coffee and cake you can have something more substantial if you want. Good service and dog friendly. They will give your pooch a freshly poured bowl of water and some treats too. Very relaxing outside watching the world go by, even in March.

We ate here two nights in a row in early August. The menu changed each night so there were new things to try. We gelt some of the food, such as the starters, were over priced for the portion (£8.50 for two small croquettes) but they were delicious. However, the slices of cake we got for pudding were easily big enough for two (the picture shows two half slices on one plate) and each only £6.50. The cakes and puddings we had were all top notch A*** (esp choc ganache) so worth coming in just for coffee and cake even if you don't have a meal. We booked in advance via WhatsApp for 6pm dinner: Wed night it was quiet but the Thursday was heaving so glad we booked. The food we had was c. £20 for a main course and was really well made and delicious. Portions aren't huge but were sufficient. There isn't a kids menu so the first night we shared two meals between the three of us and had pudding, but the second night we had a main each. The Island Cafe is cheaper than the Coll Hotel and has a nice home made, welcoming feel to it with local art and two linked rooms, one with sofas and tables and the other just tables. The serving staff were nice young people. My partner also had coffee and cake here and the cakes really are very good (I hear the Chelsea buns are to die for too) and my coffee-snob partner says this is the best coffee available on Coll.

Delighted with the meal and excellent service and delivery. Highly recommended.Thank you.

Super friendly service, great food. Strongly recommend
