This is possibly the most charming hotels and place I can remember staying. It’s an old building in a harsh Scottish environment and that is part of its charm. If you want pristine decoration it’s not for you. If you want excellent hospitality, fantastic staff and walls full of the owner’s original art, go. Walk the Crinan trail - the view from the viewpoint is one of the best on a clear day (it is a steep walk though). A genuine Scottish gem.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Crinan Hotel, the most lovely location. We had great room with a sea view. The hotel.is adorned with the most breathtaking art. All the staff were excellent, they made us feel so welcome and were very attentive throughout our stay. The food was amazing we will definitely be booking a return visit.
