The best restaurants serving British food in Cowal Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Lovely friendly place with freshly cooked food. Bonus for dog owners- plenty of indoor space. A real find. Handy for the ferry at Hunters Quay too.

Great place to stop for carbs!!

Visited to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The setting on the shore of Loch Fyne overlooking the ruin of Castle Lachlan is stunning and we were able to enjoy a bottle of fizz outside our shepherds huts where we would be spending the night. After a late afternoon stroll to the castle ruins we were ready for our dinner. The tasting menu served in the evening is locally sourced and is probably the best I have ever tasted. We chose the wine pairing which was excellent and presented beautifully. After a great nights sleep breakfast is delivered to your accommodation and this is another delight. Cannot fault this place

Popped in for lunch after getting a recommendation from a friend. Friendly staff, lovely decor and great location. Plenty of choice on the menu and everything g we ordered was excellent. Highly recommended.

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

The most wonderful food. Cullen Skink incredible Light battered fish so succulent.

It is just a pity the food we had was not as good as the view. We all had the Chowder, it looked very appetising, but unfortunately it was luke warm. The Chowder was returned to the kitchen. A few minutes later it was returned to us. Again still luke warm, we then commented to the head waitress, who gave the appearance of not caring whether it was hot or cold. Just like her attitude as we all know it is better to let them know if the food was not to standard and it could have been sorted. But alas it was not. The result of this is, WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO LOCH FYNE OYSTER BAR. Not a happy customer. Stuart

Stayed here for one night at the start of the Loch Lomond and Cowal Way walk. Very impressed with the conversion from post industrial site to leisure complex and the spa and infinity pool were a highlight. We were in one of the lodges which was a bit of a trek in the rain from the main building but the rooms were lovely and there were leisure facilities at the lodge too, although we didn't use them. Food and service in the restaurant were good. I wouldn't say the food was exceptional but it was more than acceptable and pretty reasonable value, with a wide choice of dishes. Overall, would recommend and hope to be back in the futire.

On the 17th may my daughter and I, after having a few days break at one of the holiday lodges nearby, were about to enter these licensed premises. We stopped first at a rubbish disposal area on the opposite side of the road to dispose of a very small black bin liner first, to keep the area clean As the wheelie bins were open and there was no sign at the entrance and it was on the other side of the road to this establishment. Suddenly an employee who did not identify himself, appeared at the entrance and in a threatening and aggressive manner shouted at me that we couldn't place rubbish in the wheelie bin as he owned it. I then asked where I should dispose of it. H e replied, "I don't F****** care". I suggested that he places a sign next to the entrance to the bin corner as I wasn't psychic and I informed this employee that his manner was threatening, aggressive and obscene. The employee again replied, I don't F****** care, I'm F***** leaving on Saturday". I would strongly advise anyone considering visiting this establishment to stay well clear until the manager can reassure the public that this man has indeed left the hotel. Mr, A Major, Dr, H Habibi

Absolutely best meal this weekend. Hubby had steak pie and I had gammon steak. Wow soon tasty and great service. Such a friendly place. I must mention the white Zinfandel.....deeeeeelish. Can't wait to return when we are back down next year. Fantastic wee place x

New chef has a wonderful talent and the team that work in this hotel are great also views too die for wonderful bedrooms great drinks list

This is a fantastic cafe with really nice helpful staff, the girls taking the orders and making the coffee were spot on. The bacon rolls were to die for. Very quick service too.

I was in need of lunch today. I was passing through the area and this place looked inviting from the outside. However, everything inside was horribly disappointing. I read a notice which informed me that I should order my food at the post office which was at the back of a shop - the restaurant was in a section to the right. It was cold, lacked any atmosphere and apart from two customers it was empty. I checked the menu, there was a plethora of rolls and sandwiches listed, but apart from that, there was soup, or fish and chips. I went to the post office and asked for the fish and chips and was told by a very unfriendly person that they couldn't do that because they were not putting on the fryer. So I went back to the restaurant and checked over the menu again. I chose a simple cheese and onion toastie. When it arrived, it looked very unappetising, and had no garnish at all. It was utterly tasteless, chewy plastic cheese and even the onions had no flavour. How is that possible? It was completely inedible and I left most of it on the plate. I paid £9.70p for the toastie and a pot of tea for one. On the menu the toastie was priced at £4.45 and the tea was £3.35. So I was OVERCHARGED into the bargain. Don't try it unless desperation is pushing you.
