The Kenmuir Arms Hotel

The staff and ownership were amazing. We checked in very late but were warmly greeted. They even made sure I could have a late beer and scotch. Food was fantastic! World traveled owner/chef very involved in our comfort and experience. Best haggis I have ever had. Breakfast was splendid!

If you have time go to experience the cuisine and ambience that these two offer, for this part of the world it’s absolutely unique!! Fantastic food cooked to perfection, we had a really good evening experiencing wonderful food very well cooked. Go there you won’t be disappointed.

Starters were nice but not really worth £12. Main courses at £20+ were not! Fish and chips average and arrived in paper. Supposed to be authentic or clever perhaps 🥴 ..my husband had Hake which was priced at £22.. Inedible due to extreme salt content, and he left it. Complained (as diplomatically as possible) and they offered free deserts but we had waited so long for the main, we declined. They only took the price of a G&T of the bill and still had to pay the full amount for the salty hake! Waitress (at bar) had loud conversation with a patron (the only other customer in the snug bar) about school toilets and weddings, which made our evening quite unpleasant.

We had an outstanding meal here yesterday for New Year’s Eve. The service was phenomenal and the food was delicious, flavourful and beautifully presented. It was a mouthwatering meal, the best I’ve had since visiting Italy in the summer. Complements to the chef who put on such wonderful courses and surprise chocolates at the end of the meal. My dad’s still raving about the blue cheese that was served with the Ecclefechan Tart, he’d love to know where it came from so he could buy a block of it. We absolutely loved eating here. It is a wonderful restaurant and the staff were so warm and welcoming. We come up to Scotland at this time every year and will undoubtedly eat here again in the future.

We went to the Kenmuir Arms for dinner bed and breakfast with friends . We had travelled from Helensburgh 3 hours drive away . We were so pleased with every aspect of this deal . The rooms were beautiful and spacious with an amazing coffee machine and seats where you could sit and look over the river . The food was superb , everything homemade and locally sourced . The evening meal was 5 courses and every course was comparable to some of the best meals we’ve had in London and Paris , very adventurous and very high quality . The staff were so friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble for them . The view out of the restaurant was a lovely river with full glass sliding doors which would be perfect in the summer when it’s warm enough to sit outside . We will definitely be returning here .

We had a fantastic 2 night stay. Lovely welcome and quickly shown to our well decorated and appointed room. There was a welcome tea tray which had a variety of teas and coffee and biscuits, and nice toiletries. The food was outstanding and Chris has great ideas. We had the taster menu the first night and a la carte the second night and both were superb and so well presented. There is a good choice for breakfast and again superb. We had a few drinks in the snug and got chatting to some of the locals who recommended some good walks in the area. We enjoyed our break and have booked to return and will definitely do Sunday lunch
