The views were spectacular, staff were excellent and could not do enough for you meals were delicious, the hotel is quite tired looking and could do with a fresh look, but it wouldn't stop me from visiting again. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay for the two nights we were there.

the unique feature is that it is positioned at the western end of the Crinan canal and looks west towards Scarba and Jura between which is one of the worlds largest whirlpool. I should imagine in the depths of winter the single glazing could be a bit "iffy". The vehicular access is "interesting" better to travel by boat! Staff were excellent and the food fabulous.
