Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the spacious and comfortable rooms at The Colintraive. The food also receives high marks, with standouts like the burger, described as the 'best ever,' and the delicious fish and chips. The hotel's proximity to the ferry and the loch makes it convenient, though some guests have noted occasional weak Wi-Fi signal in their rooms. The drive to Inveraray, with its castle and high street, is considered worthwhile.

A pleasant stay

comfortable bed quality linen empty bar poor service
The location is fine. Comfortable beds included good quality linen. I found toiletries and towels also of good quality. The atmosphere felt relaxed with friendly staff.
I visited the bar, it was virtually empty. The two lads working there seemed bored. They seemed more interested in checking their phones than paying attention to customers.

printed menu cullen skink wrong measure poor service
the food was amazing!!! the chef printed a menu just for me because i am coeliac. i had cullen skink and it was scrumptious. marmite was also available, which sealed the deal.
i had a complaint regarding a wrong measure for an expensive cocktail. customer service fell down spectacularly. they gave the remnants of a practically empty bottle instead of using a measure.
