The Creggans Inn

Stayed here two nights while walking the Loch Lomond and Cowal Way. We were made very welcome at reception, in the bar and in the restaurant. The rooms were very good with great views over Loch Fyne and the conservatory at the front was a great place to relax, as was the garden. I'm surprised at some of the negative restaurant reviews here, as we ate there both nights and had no problems. Food and service were absolutely fine, perhaps not fine dining but certainly generous, tasty and nutritious and reasonably good value for money. We were sorry to leave after two nights and would certainly return.

This is a lovely wee restaurant of the hotel. Staff were delightful and friendly. The food was delicious. I had leek & potato soup with homemade bread. It was piping hot and tasty. The highland ‘coo’ beef and ale pie was as soft as butter and amazingly tasty. Not a bit of gristle to be seen. Reasonable prices. Well worth a visit. Views across the loch are great.

Visited on holiday as a family. Food was expensive and disappointing. Cod loin lacked flavour, was supposed to be on bed of risotto which wasn’t like risotto but again flavourless rice. Starter was ok if you had the mussels or Cullen skink but hummus was just mushed up chickpeas no flavour.

Reheated food. Small portions for the price. Indifferent service. And again: Reheated food. Small portions for the price. Indifferent service. And again: Reheated food. Small portions for the price. Indifferent service. And again: Reheated food. Small portions for the price. Indifferent service.

We enjoyed a relaxing 2 night stay at Creggans with family. Comfortable, spotlessly clean hotel. Large rooms with views over Loch Fyne are really great! Restaurant is excellent - freshly prepared locally sourced food, nice menu & wine list. Superb breakfast! Bar is relaxed and friendly. Lots to do in the surrounding area for day trips. Recommended.

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 coarse 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.
