Reviews of Crinan Hotel 4 stars

The seafood was excellent

A bit dated and pricey for what it is if you want a room with balcony

excellent location, dinner in the bar lovely, breakfast lots of options.

room 3, swallows nest seems to have infiltrated the top window frame, perhaps a bit of wood would seal it again

Great location and the large room had a spacious balcony ideal for watching the goings on at the canal locks. Seafood was very good as was breakfast especially so as our regular table had great views of Jura and the mountains of Mull. Staff were all friendly and helpful especially Robert our waiter ( great asset for the hotel). The owner’s artworks all around the hotel were spectacular.

That we only booked two nights.

The view over the Sound of Jura was amazing. The hotel has great character and charm. The staff are excellent and helpful. Breakfast is great. The boat trip skippered by Ross was a highlight of our holiday.

The hotel was set in a stunning location with views to die for. The staff were all very polite and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you . The food in the restaurant was outstanding with not a single bad meal for the week we were there.

The only gripe and it is a small one the decor was a little tied and in places could do with a revamp

Location, lovely views. Really nice vibe. Staff in restaurant excellent. Food was great. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so great.

Nothing

Great menu for breakfast and dinner. Great views over the water from bedroom and restaurant. All round comfort with plenty lounge space just in case it rains. Excellent staff - well turned-out, friendly without being casual. Just right for this kind of place.

Food was excellent and nicely presented. Location snd views peaceful and stunning. A very restful retreat.

Condition of bathroom. Young staff were friendly and welcoming but more senior staff and management not. Perhaps too much to do.

Location

Great food, fabulous views, from the hotel,.

The engineering of the locks and the canal system.

The location, character of the place and the very attentive staff. Loved the seafood bar the pub and the art gallery. The food was delicious. The hotel is comfortable, and the decoration, furnishings and art makes it very special, it is unpretentious and the views from the bedrooms are unforgettable. It is a place run with love.

Superb location, full of character, staff friendly and helpful. Great views. Excellent bed.

Bathroom could benefit from updating.

The staff, the food and the accommodation were all outstanding. I would happily have stayed for the whole summer!!

Lovely staff. Breakfast.

Sound insulation

The view of the loch from our room.

Weird smell in the hotel, the full scottish breakfast tasted bizzare. Sausage wasn't very nice at all. £20 charge per dog was a bit of a joke. Any other hotel we have stayed at only charged £20 for the two dogs not per dog.

Fantastic traditional Scottish hotel in fabulous location. Beautiful views over canal and sea - balcony room makes the most of these! Superb food and happy attentive staff.

Location and views The young waiting staff were professional and welcoming Dinner Bed

Soft floors in bathroom (under loo) and room entrance (are the joists ok?) Balcony in state of disrepair

The location was superb and the view from our bedroom simply the finest one could expect anywhere, overlooking Islay and Jura

Electrical sockets nearer the bed would have been beneficial

Beautiful location, lovely food. Accommodated our bikes.

The bathroom in one of the rooms smelt of bad drains.
