The Argyll hotel looks run down from the outside but there was work going on outside to refurbish the arch on the roadway. We were lucky with the early spring and the walks were superb along with the views. It was unfortunate that auchindrain, the village was not reallky open but the staff, who were setting up, were very helpful. I forgot that scotland closes from october until april, and i am scots!. Cruachan power station and the walk to the dam were out of this world.

Myself and my other half love Inveraray and surrounding area (arrochar et al) so getting a holiday voucher was great, as we treated ourself to 2 nights b&b at argyll hotel, with dinner on 1st night included. Fantastic value all round. Hotel rooms and some communal areas a bit tired decor-wise but to those people who have complained about this before, i would suggest you look at the business models of rural hotels vs business models of city centre hotels - rural hotels will never be able to match the level of investment of a city centre hotel at the reasonable prices charged by the argyll hotel, so expect some compromises. Staff were really good and accommodating if you make the effort, although one of the waitresses was a bit robotic and lacking in charisma or chat, or perhaps we were just expecting a bit much. Front of house and other waitress were top drawer. The surroundings make the stay worthwhile. The fact that there is a comfortable hotel to stay in is great, although quality of sleep not brilliant, as noise can be heard quite loudly from some other rooms due to thin stud walls, which is a bit of a shame in such an old building dating from the 1700s. Overall, we loved it though and will be back for more! Thanks to the arygll hotel staff, what a beautiful neck of the woods to live and work in.

My husband and I spent 2 nights in the argyll hotel and it was just what we needed. Although the hotel bar was busy with guests and locals in the public bar, the room was quiet. The hotel itself is a bit tired and basic, but clean and adequate. The food was lovely, and we were glad we took advantage of the 1st night dinner offer. Would use this hotel again.

Lovely part of scotland, weather great, stunning scenery, george hotel beer garden good. Not a lot for kids.Nice getaway for a couple of days with the wife. Would not recommend the argyle if you have any class.
