This was our second stay at The Crinan and we were not disappointed. The hotel has so much character, we love it. The bathrooms are a bit dated but they are very clean and this is all part of the Crinan charm. The location and views are stunning. We had the 5 course meal which was simply fantastic. It was...

I had clams and my wife had fish and chips. The clams were accompanied by the smallest portion of salad leaves I have ever been served. Some of the clams were almost cold,(served on a cold plate) the portion size was barely enough for a starter. My wife had haddock and chips. The fish was acceptable in quality but small... More

Was needing some "me" time. As a lone traveller this is a wonderful place to go. The welcome is so warm, the food is amazing, the rooms are so comfortable with wonderful views. I can't fault it. I need to be shoehorned out on the day of departure. Weather was kind but even on the stormy day I left it... More

We have stayed at The Crinan Hotel several times now and without exception every time has been great. Catherine is a terrific asset to the hotel and she is very welcoming. The food as always is superb. We stayed two nights and the first night we dined with friends (who were also staying) in the main restaurant. There is a... More

With its beautiful harbour, iconic lighthouse and canal Crinan is a landmark location on the shores of Scotland away from major population centres. This is why the owners of such a building have a duty of care to be open from Easter each year to provide a service to the many visitors who make the effort to visit them. We... More

Shabby, run-down, overpriced and with the worst, rudest service I have experiences anywhere in the world. I would rather throw my money in the beautiful Crinan Canal than give them any more of it. AVOID! Even when five of us turned up for afternoon tea we were refused because"it was too busy". There were spare seats everywhere including the sitting... More

We came here for some fish at lunchtime and had some lovely scallops. This is a stunning spot but as we did not stay here I cannot comment on rooms etc. Staff very friendly, but the hotel does look rather tired downstairs. Would go back for lunch and the views.
