This evening, my wife and I called in for a steak each. Both of us were very disappointed. Not cheap, either. To start, they served the wrong lager we asked for Tennents but they gave us Stella. The steak was more fat than meat. There were 2 tiny onion rings and what I can only describe as excrement on top of the fats, I mean steaks. My wife said it was haggis with red onion jam. But the texture and taste were of fatty pate. The few chips that came with the "meal" still had skins on. They couldn't even be bothered to peel the spuds. The green peppercorn sauce was £2.95 for just over a thimble full. Avoid the place. It's a pity as the pub and setting have great potential. BTW £30 for each "fat". £73.45 for everything 2 poor & meals & 2 drinks (1 being the wrong drink).

It's so lovely to be back .it's been too long .we love this little jewel of a hotel. From the time we arrived to the time we left ,staff and management were fantastic. Our room with Loch View was excellent and quaint, cosy, and comfortable. Dinner was excellent, tasted wonderful, and the presentation was great . I try to have food I don't usually have at home, I chose the Pigeon breast for starters and the haunch of venison for mains ,wifes choice of veg broth and teriyaki salmon noodles .all of it was lovely and great to see and enjoy fresh vegetables cooked to perfection. I finished with apple and gooseberry crumble which just lovely. Breakfast next morning was just as lovely, especially my Scottish breakfast. Thanks to all the staff for a fantastic stay.we will be back

Very disappointing and not how we remember creggans. Staff were unattentive, not once asked how our meal was (mussels over salted, ribeye £30 was a shocking cut to the point it was 50% unedible. Room was unclean and shabby to be polite (see images!) Dusty, cobwebs, broken bed, stained chair. To charge 190 pounds per night for that room is disgusting! Also at breakfast, stornoway blackpudding is advertised on the menu, that was not stornoway blackpudding, yuk! On departure receptionist, who was full of the cold, couldnt muster up the enegry to ask how our stay was, so have decided to leave the review as we are angry to have wasted our 1st wedding anniversay in such a let down of a hotel. Terrible staff, except a blonde waitress who was lovely mannered.

Well we finally got to go back to our favourite hotel ever and as always it was amazing. Archie and Gill put their heart and soul into this wonderful place. All the staff are amazing and always make you feel welcome. The food was exemplary and we were fortunate to speak to the Chef and tell him so. I can't remember how many times we've stayed at The Creggans but it never fails to deliver and yet again we found more places in the local area to visit and more for the future. Our favourite is Pucks Glen which is only 15 minutes drive away. We will as ever be back as soon as we possibly can.

Nice place to call for a bite to eat and drink. Food was lovely the scallops where lovely and the natcho portion was massive. We was there for lunch seated outside looking out over the loch was lovely. The service was good. Not sure if the 10% service charge should be automatically added to the bill. I would always tip but to be added I find quite cheeky in this economy
