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.

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.

This an old building so creaky floorboards and some old furniture , but this adds to it's charm. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was excellent. Lovely views and interesting to watch the boats negotiating the canal locks. Icient
