We had a fantastic minimoon at Crinan!! Food is 11/10. Staff 11/10! Location is absolutely stunning. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. We had a room with a balcony and the views are out of this world. The boat trip on Ross Ryan’s boat The Sgarbh was incredible. We saw seals and Sea Eagles and sailed around the islands. This hotel is a true Scottish gem!

The Crinan Hotel is one of Scotland’s classic bijou hotels which has retained its touch of class and high standards of service, perhaps because it is still privately owned and free of corporate ‘sameness’. It is also surrounded by the most breathtaking sea-and-landscapes with all bedrooms having views to dream of. It is not the place for families with kids or guests who prefer beach shorts and flip-flops. Small staff but service excellent. Good menu, food excellent and not over-priced. Will be back.
