Reviews of Ben Cruachan Inn - Restaurant, Pub with Rooms

We were really happy with our stay. The staff was friendly and although no breakfast was provided, some porridge and coffee was still provided for in the room, which made for a good replacement. We couldn't resist and enjoyed the restaurant twice as it was really good. If you're a cyclist, we recommend the smaller routes around (especially the B8074).

The food in the Ben Cruachan Inn was exceptional, and the staff were lovely. I'd happily return again and again. The accommodation was clean, and to a high standard, and the pub was a great place to relax after our hill walking.

My only minor criticisms of the garden suites are: There are no windows to open, so it became really hot at night during our stay (we were staying in summer). As we had our dogs with us we couldn't crack open the "french door" style door in the bedroom to cool down. A few extra pots/pans and a filter coffee machine would have made the stay even better, but we still had a wonderful time.

Nice location and view over the loch, plenty of nearby places to visit. Very good restaurant

Sound insulation quite bad, you can easily hear the room next door or people in the hallway.

Very comfortable rooms, in a very nice location. The Food at Ben Cruachan Inn is excellent ! All the staff are very kind and attentive. We highly recommend Ben Cruachan Inn !

The location, accommodation, restaurant and staff were all great. In particular the food in the restaurant was excellent.

It would lovely if the restaurant could serve breakfast.

Ideally located for exploring around Loch Awe and Oban area. Welcoming and well appointed inn with rooms attached. We had one of the garden rooms which allowed us to make breakfast and packed lunches for our trips out . Dinner in the Inn was very good and reasonably priced

This isn’t a criticism of the property but you do need to plan for breakfast and lunches . The inn doesn’t do breakfast though the nearby Loch Awe stores does have breakfast rolls

Everything

No breakfast available

Great location and excellent facilities for us and our dog

Nothing

Easy check-in. Accommodation was very clean and in good condition. View from the room/cabin was lovely as it looked out to the lake. By a very loud road and other people in rooms either side of us, but didn't hear anything, so must have good soundproofing. Really nice power shower. Comfortable bed.

There were no windows. In the bedroom, there are double doors (that lead to nothing) but no window so couldn't get any air in. The main entrance is also the window / light source. The problem is there are chickens/roosters running around and they come right up to the door, so we didn't leave it open in case they came in. There was also no fan / air con, so it got quite stuffy and needs a window. Bedroom has no curtains, only a flimsy blind, so it got bright in there early. We were looking forward to the food, but it was disappointing (and really over priced).

Beautiful, comfortable, perfect! We had a great stay, and enjoyed the views, our balcony, the comfy beds.

Our stay on the lochs was absolutely delightful. The location was perfect, close to the picturesque Kilchurn Castle where you can also spot the highland cows. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt welcome, even offering a dog menu! The food was exceptional, and we enjoyed a tasty supper complete with a whiskey tasting that was perfect for the chilly Highlands weather. Overall, it was a wonderful stay with a warm, dog-friendly atmosphere, great food, and a beautiful location.

breakfast is not available

nothing

very clean and compact self catering apartment with everything you could need. Bed very comfortable and powerful shower. Food in the restaurant was very good. friendly staff.

Toilet seat was a bit wonky. The sauce with the mussels was a bit insipid.

I stayed in the "Loch Awe" garden room which was immaculate, well-spec'd, comfortable and had fantastic views over the loch. The pub and restaurant are always brilliant - this was my 4th or 5th time staying or dining there.

Nothing!

Awesome food in a lovely setting . Comfortable room, accommodating staff.

All good

Large room with small kitchenette. Clean and comfortable. Nicely located for an overnight stop. Worth visiting Conans Kirk. We didn't take advantage of the Resturant but looked good. Easy checking and out.
