Top Lochgilphead Hotel Reviews

Oyster Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. The windows opened to allow fresh air. The hotel car park is somewhat small. The hotel is situated on 2 fairly busy roads, so traffic sounds were audible. The walls were quite thin, so a phone conversation in the next room was also audible. It was fine for a one night stay on the way to our next stop."

The Inveraray Inn, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed there 1 night, Sept 30. The hotel is 250 years old. But is updated and lovely! Super charming, clean and comfy. Our room has 2 twin beds. It was a bit small but we didn’t plan to stay in it long. There were cookies and tea in the rooms Loved the nightlight in the bathroom! Very helpful. Only challenges are the parking, It’s at a premium, and all rooms are up stairs so if you have mobility challenges. This hotel is not for you"
