Old Creggan’s inn is an absolutely beautiful location facing Loch Fyne and the mountains surrounding the loch. Dinner was delicious and the Loch Fyne mussels are heartily recommended. Sunset from the upstairs guest lounge room is absolutely gorgeous.

Food and service great. BUT you could hear your room neighbours. Parking excellent. I didn’t like that there were so many dogs in the bar, and barking all the time, also you had to step over them.

This Hotel is an absolute gem. Slightly off the beaten track with fabulous views over the loch. Staff were excellent, room and bathroom both spacious, comfortable and nicely decorated. We dined in the restaurant there and the food was super. Highly recommend and will definitely return

My husband and I were in Scotland for 10 days and stayed at 6 different hotel locations from moving around a lot to see the country. The Creggans Inn was easily my favourite! It was a cute, older style Inn directly on the ocean! The only thing I was disappointed with was we only stayed one night. Absolutely beautiful scenery, beautiful garden out front, nice room, and friendly staff who love talking about the history of the place! Great food as well.

Lovely place to stay.

Such a lovely little inn. We stayed in one of the twin rooms at the top. It was beautifully decorated and had views of the loch. Keep in mind there are many narrow stairs so if you pack heavy or aren't able to carry your luggage, request a room lower in the house. Gracious sitting room with beautiful views. We had dinner the first night and it was one of the best meals of our trip. Much more gourmet than I was expecting. The front desk were very nice and accommodating.

I liked pretty much everything about my stay at The Creggans. The only concern i had was that there is no bath mat so i felt a little unsure while in the shower. But that might also be due to my age😊

Rooms great , food not, standard pub grub, lots of burgers and chips. they have fantastic dining room overlooking the loch where you can watch sunset, but it is shut… what a pity, instead in a windowless bistro with pictures about wine in London. Need to think what sells, which is the views from front.
