Stunning position and homely comfortable hotel. Staff very friendly helpful & polite. Bed was sooo comfortable our room was spacious with pleasing decor - the view our bedroom magnificent Evening meal was good as was breakfast. I loved the lovely mid blue coloured glassware in the dining room - a simple but standout ‘pop’ of colour works very well imo. Loved our stay which was enhanced by a lovely (very early) morning circular walk from the hotel encompassing woodlands and views over tranquil Loch Linnhe. Perfect 👌
View from bedroom Airds Hotel superb

Lovely location & welcome, great staff. Unfortunately we had some issues with the heating in our room, so after a 5 hour journey we had to move room twice in order to get working heating, we eventually ended up with a ground floor room facing the car park which meant we were unable to enjoy the view but by that point it was dark anyway but a least the room was warm

Great stay but beware the HOT water

We had a lovely stay for just one night at The Airds Hotel. We were a bit late getting in and had to cancel an earlier dinner reservation because we were running behind. But the staff were very accommodating and allowed us to enjoy dinner in the restaurant. They also provided us a takeaway bag for breakfast as we had to check out early the next morning. The hotel room itself was very comfortable. The water in the shower gets scalding hot, BEWARE. There is a sign in the bathroom warning of this but it isn’t until you go to take a shower that you realize how hot it truly gets. It takes a little bit of time fiddling with the controls to get the water to a desirable temperature. Other than that, we absolutely loved our stay and wish we could have spent more time here.

While I was not there to watch TV, as the weather one day was to wet and windy to go walking I tried the TV. Unfortunately the TV in the lounge area and in the bedroom had minds of their own, and while watching BBC News in the lounge area the TV in the Bedroom started to play a completely different programme! Some guide book for the TV would have been useful.

Breakfast was phenomenal. I’m not vegetarian but the vegetarian sausages were amazing and easily the best eggs I’ve had across a dozen countries. The staff and service were exceptional; we were held up 3 hours due to an accident causing a temporary road closure, delaying us until 2a. I called the number upon arrival and they were there settling us in within 5 minutes. Incredibly accommodating and went out of their way to make us comfortable… speaking of which, the beds were insanely comfy. Also, The Lighthouse (Appin Craft Shop). We wanted to leave with half the items there. Many local artwork and jewelry, all authentic, highly recommend.

We arrived to a room which we were told would face the bay, instead it faced the parking backyard. Some misunderstanding which we could have lived with if the room did not have cracked ceilings showing rain damages in various places with one spot that still showed mold in the ceiling. The floor on the entrance to the room was lose and it felt unsafe entering. The carpet was absolutely dirty, no AC, so we felt like spending our last two nights in a dump. The hotel redeemed itself by giving us a bay view room the next night which was much better, however the price is way too high for a place like this. This is the second Relais & Châteaux we encountered on this trip that is absolutley overpriced for an absolute underwhelming experience. Stay away!
