Beautiful inn on the edge of Loch Fyne.
Pros:

Excellent location, we hiked in while doing the Cowal and Loch Lomond way. Our room was a little dated but comfortable. Food was excellent with a delicious breakfast and very friendly staff. Very comfortable communal room upstairs with lovely views over the loch.

Cons:

Shower needed updating in our room.

Enjoyable stay with great views across the loch
Pros:

Beautiful location, efficient and friendly staff, food was a good standard with a reasonable choice.

Cons:

The accommodation cost, but one has to expect higher prices in the Scottish Highlands as the tourist season is fairly short so prices reflect this fact.

Fyne. Every pun intended.
Pros:

The location was good. Staff were pleasant.

Cons:

As the main part of a stay in a property is the time spent sleeping, i was very disappointed with the bedding. A top sheet and two very bobbly, brown coloured fleeces covered by an uninspiring bedspread were on our bed. For a stay of this cost and hype I would have expected a duvet and cover.
For what seemed like a quiet location, a lot of traffic went by on the road between the hotel and the loch.

Agreable a tous niveaux
Pros:

La propreté, le charme d’une auberge ancienne .
La cuisine de grande qualité et raffinée

Cons:

Peu de reproches excepté le fait que dans un bâtiment de charme et ancien la salle de bains n’avait pas un équipement très moderne.
C’est mineur par rapport à la qualité de tout le reste.
