Portsonachan Hotel

Very secluded, a number of miles down a single track road with passing places. The hotel itself is the key property down the road with no shops. The property has its own harbour with boats and fishing equipment. There are electrical car charging points if you need them.

Very dog friendly with free treats.

The restaurant was very good and all the staff extremely friendly. Fantastic views across the loch.

A bit dated unfortunately

Beautiful view of Loch Awe. Isolated on single lane road. Was a great place to stay after Cruacan Power Station tour.

Hotel a bit dated, staff nice however we had difficulties finding our room and nobody would actually come and help us. The rooms have names not numbers so there was no indication which way to look for it. we were told our room was on the second floor, we checked them all and didn’t find, then we checked first floor, still nothing, went back to the reception and received the same directions. We did this all with our bags in might add. Eventually we have found it at the end of the corridor behind the emergency door. The room and bathroom was a bit dated but the worst was the water, it was yellow.
We were having dinner at the hotel restaurant and despite the fact the restaurant wasn’t even full we waited over an hour for our food.
We we’re staying only for one night and we’re actually happy to leave early in the morning.

Hotel Portsonachan was one of our top experiences during our travels! It’s just what we needed when we were ready to escape the cities and unwind with nature. The beauty is incredible there & the staff made our stay even better! We enjoyed the welcoming feeling of it being like a home away from home-especially since we were a long ways from home! Highly recommend!

Lovely welcome,stunning location and good food. Loch side road a bit treacherous but we were on motorbikes. Gorgeous setting worth traveling to.

The hotel is very unique and historic in a beautiful setting. Staff was very friendly. Plan to make reservation for dinner, food was delicious!

Great view of the lake, can see and feel the greatness of the hotel back in the day. Needs some refreshing , but if you don't mind you will get great place, for a great price.

Excellent on all levels. Scottish hospitality was abundant. We arrived at the train station and the staff came to collect us and was constantly available to assist us with travel and tours. Food was amazing. Atmosphere and scenery stunning! Worth every pence!

Outdated . Service in restaurant was slow . Menu is outdated . Breakfast was good but had to ask to be served 5 times in the span of 40 minutes. Staff seemed stressed . Dirty towels in the room .hole in the roof where a lightbulb should have been . Shampoo bottles dirty and empty in the bathroom . Great location and amazing view but the place was a letdown .

Bathing water pumped from the lake. Brown and murky. Rooms were not ready at check in. Run-down.

Beautiful property. Really nice and helpful staff. Comfortable lodging. Good food and drink on the property. Because we were leaving early one morning, they made us a breakfast basket that also worked for our lunch!

The food was good but the service was poor, they didn't seem to communicate with one another and the staff weren't very friendly.

Nice loch side hotel. Clean with bottled water in the room. A bit tricky getting proper water temperature at first, but fogured it out. Had dinner once and continental breakfast once..bith were acceptable. *Note* we arrived after dark using the gps in our rental car. It showed "you have arrived" in the middle of nowhere. Proceed on another 1/2 mi and you will find it.

We arrived late in the evening and the place looked amazing such a beautiful view. Got to our room it was clean apart from the

So this hotel location is amazing. But cleanliness and service was really bad. The receptionist was nice & polite however we soon worked it out for ourself’s within the first hour of waiting to check in that day that she was holding fort for the hotels fall downs and it’s actually the cleaners / manager (learnt from other reviews her name is Tracey and she’s really cheeky) that are letting the place down. We stayed in the “cabins” which are basically 2 storey apartments with a patio on the loch! Literally cannot fault the location at all. BEST LOCATION! check in was suppose to be 4pm which is late as it was- we didn’t get the keys till after 5pm with no explanation literally told to sat on a bench and wait which was so weird. We heard from other guests also waiting or previously waited they witnessed the cleaners working so slow they could work backwards constantly out the front of the lodges smoking every 5 mins per lodge like and obviously don’t know how to put some elbow grease in as our place wasn’t clean at all. Dirty glasses that literally hasn't been washed. No patio chairs and smelt like wet dog. Main Hotel also grubby everything window cill / skirting board in the place needs a good wash.
This hotel has so much potential it really is a shame what bad management can do. Get Gordon Ramsey hotel nightmares on this joint. Wish I could buy it and do it justice.

Fantastic location, stunning views across the loch. We paid £100.00 which was great value.The food was also very good.
This is an old property so don't expect it to be immaculate but it is full of charm and the staff are fabulous....

Dirty, old, rundown, rude staff, unfortunately didn't read other reviews until we were waiting until 5:30 for our room to be ready and then it was to late. Do not stay here.

What a location..great service too.

Room was in coach house as we had our dog with us, accessed by a metal staircase with deteriorating steps. The room ( Fyne ) was not ready one bed not made, toilet seat loose and u/s light. Generally the conservatory where we ate dinner and breakfast needed a good clean to remove dead flies from the window sills and freshen up paintwork the exterior of the building loch side needed maintenance to remove plants growing in hotel wall. Dinner Service was slow and we felt we were overlooked as no one to greet us and we found a table ourselves. Continental Breakfast everything arrived at once following order . Whole area around hotel needed a good clean up dog litter bin overflowing piled high skips and smelly bins together with removed kitchen equipment littered areas just passed hotel. Overall not somewhere we would go back too and a lovely position next to loch spoiled.
