The Creggans Inn

We went in for coffee, but instead decided to have a soup & sandwich lunch. The welcome we received at reception desk was non existent. We were merely told to go through the door opposite. We ordered coffee, which was delivered promptly, together with a menu. We both ordered soup & toasted sandwich. The soup was tasty but lukewarm at best. The ham sandwich was on cold white “toasted” bread - hardly browned at all & our suspicion was that it was a leftover from breakfast. The form of presentation was lacking any delicacy & was frankly quite co**** in appearance. We were not asked a single question as to whether or not we had enjoyed our meal. We mentioned the lack of music & were told the boss did not approve. The ambience was as cold as the temperature in the room & as cold as our initial welcome at reception. Quite simply, the whole event was a total letdown & an extremely poor advert for Scottish hospitality. We shall never return.

What a treat to stay here for 2 nights last week while walking the LL & Cowal Way !!! My hosts didn’t just go the extra mile, they matched my 18 mile daily average! On my way there I’d slipped over and not realised I’d lost my reading glasses… stupidly I was not carrying spare pair and villages en route too small for pharmacy. I called Creggans on the off chance and by the time I checked in a pair had been magicked up from somewhere ! And given to me. Second night I was late to dinner, had walked in rain all day but they made sure I had a very relaxed evening, a gorgeous meal and a fab table in the peaceful bar area with the best view!

We didn’t stay here but had their lunch menu. Cullen skink, mussels and scallops. The most wonderful Cullen skink and perfectly cooked and fresh mussels and scallops! The service was fabulous and the staff super friendly. I could not recommend them highly enough!

Booked for a family special birthday. Pre ordered our food to help be organised. Warm, friendly, attentive service even though place was busy. Food was lovely, all cleared plates is always a great sign! Would recommend and will definitely return.

A cheeky wee break away for Easter. This is a well run hotel with a decent bar and absolutely gorgeous food. A home from home experience, relaxed and a warm welcome. Would recommend without any reservation... ( Er You might need to make a reservation though.... ;-) )

I am very pleased that we chose to stay here for a couple of days. We stayed in room 3, a large, very comfortable room with a loch view, the bathroom was also large offering the choice of bath or shower. Breakfast was cooked to order and could not be faulted, with an extensive choice. Evening meals were also very good. I happily recommend staying at The Creggans Inn.

A bit out the way but well worth it. Very friendly hotel our room was lovely a Laura Ashley style with shower and bath. Great views of the loch. Even when relaxing in your bath. Nice comfy bed. Food was great. Had a fantastic Irish Coffee. Staff were brilliant very helpful. It was a Christmas present my daughter and her husband got us. Cant thank them enough for this great stay. Looking for to going back. Scotland is just beautiful.

Went for a meal having read excellent reviews/ sadly disappointed- the starters were ok - I had goats cheese and figs - hubbie had pigeon breast - not bad at all - I ordered fish gratin and he ordered lamb which was pleasant enough - fish gratin however was raw in the middle and Lukewarm- vegetables accompaniment were over- cooked and under seasoned - we didn’t risk a dessert- the staff were apologetic but it wasn’t really up to expectations 😔

Just enjoyed another short break at this consistently excellent hotel. The staff here work as a first class team. They all want the best for the hotel and their guests. Nothing is too much trouble. The menu continues to be interesting, seasonal , makes good use of local produce and, despite rising costs, is still reasonably priced. With such friendly staff, enjoyable food, comfortable clean rooms and fabulous views this hotel is one I can definitely recommend.
