Ronebhal B&B
This was possible the best accommodation that I've ever stayed at, for business or pleasure. It would be worth it to design a trip around staying here as a base of operations. Stunning view, prompt communication from the owners, great access to the wonderful SW coast, and every conceivable amenity ...

Onich Hotel
The cleanliness of the shower was questionable- it may just have been old. Staff were friendly and our dinner was adequate.

The Great Western Hotel
Generally the hotel was in need of refurbishment.e.g. chipped paint, stained ceilings, a broken lock on our en suite door. Small but noticeable things.

Cabin 16 'Duart'
A Cosy Cabin With Views Over Loch Awe.
Gregor the host was very friendly and approachable. The setting was beautiful, the cabin was cosy and had everything we needed. However the double bed would benefit from a mattress topper, the bunks were comfortable.
