to get started.

The quiet location, particularly in the evening when the traffic on the nearby road has ceased. Plenty of comfortable sitting areas in the inn, especially the large sitting room on the first floor with glorious views over Loch Fyne. Breakfast was really good with the large widows allowing lovely views from the dining room. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

Iain, United Kingdom

We were upgraded free of charge and the staff were so friendly and lovely. They made us feel incredibly special on our 30th wedding anniversary. Great location for exploring. It was like a new magical world!

Julia, United Kingdom

Very comfortable weekend break with loch view. Good evening meal and breakfast. Beautiful scenery in this lovely area of Scotland.

Kathleen, United Kingdom

Friendly helpful staff, excellent food,quiet at night,good atmosphere in hotel and bar area

Linda, United Kingdom

A fabulous location and service. We have been staying here since the 60's and seen it evolve with the times. Loving what the new owners are doing with such a traditional Inn. It has a casual chic modern feel without the integrity of the building been undermined. The Bistro at the back was modern and warm with beams and character. We especially liked the little private conservatory we ate in. Food as always amazing!

Erica, United Kingdom

We spent 3 nights at The Creggans in May. We decided to splash out and stay somewhere nice on our way back from Skye. Excellent location, on the shore of Loch Fyne, the Creggans is perfect base from where to explore the Cowal peninsula. Our room was on the second floor looking stright out onto Loch Fyne, and was massive. The bed was very comfortable, the wifi was excellent and the bathtub (YAY!) was a definite advantage. The Creggans has a very nice sitting room on the first floor with a picture window onto the Loch, which my partner, Kate, loved using whilst I was out birding. The restaurant downstairs was very good, and in my eyes, pretty close to 'fine dining', although Kate disagreed. We had only booked 2 nights, but loved the hotel, and the area thereabouts so much we stayed an extra night.

Kevin, United Kingdom

The fried breakfast was surprisingly good; it seemed to be cooked to order and not pre-cooked, a pleasant surprise.

Gordon, United Kingdom

Food was excellent, not your average pub grub. Very welcoming to our dog 😁

Breakfast ok but had to ask for croissants . Staff setting tables for lunch before we had finished

On the shores of Loch Fyne, The Creggans Inn offers rooms with beautiful Loch and garden views and a restaurant. Argyll Forest Park is just 5 minutes’ drive away. And guests can enjoy free Wi-Fi and full English breakfasts.

Light and calmly furnished, each room features a private bathroom with free toiletries and a hairdryer. Guests can relax in the rooms with a TV and free tea and coffee.

Macphunn’s Bar and Restaurant is a cosy, traditional bar with a log fire, serving a wide range of malt whiskies and local real ales.

Guests can enjoy walks along the loch’s edge and see sea lions or porpoises out at sea. Fishing rods can be borrowed from the hotel for fishing on the loch. Ardkinglas Woodland Garden is just 15 minutes’ drive away, and Carrick Castle is 40 minutes away by car.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

Although the starter and desert courses for dinner were excellent, unfortunately I had a very poor experience with the main course which was served barely lukewarm and on a cold plate. This meant that what was a clearly well-prepared dish was in fact very unappealing and disappointing. I raised this matter politely with my waitress who returned to my table a few minutes later to inform me that they would not charge me anything for the main course. I felt this was the correct decision and I expressed my gratitude for the attitude that the inn had adopted.

I like everything at Creggans but I so hope the aspirations to reinstate the dining room at the front are pursued as it is the most beautiful inspiring view that lifts the soul. I remember sitting in this area of the Inn for many years and it is just wonderful.
