“An historic country inn on the shores of Loch Fyne, with views to Inveraray and the Kintyre mountains. Award-winning Scottish cuisine, delightfully cosy bedrooms and one suite, and a beautiful landscape for fishing, walking, diving, and whisky tasting. A gourmet spot in a breathtaking setting. ”

Hotel review

Creggan's Inn certainly has an unparalleled setting with views over mountains and Loch. Of course this brings with it the sort of outdoor sports, like fishing, stalking, shooting, walking, sailing, that truly encapsulate the heart of the West coast. The Inn is charming with its country house style decoration throughout 14 delightful rooms; attractive fabrics, wooden beams, fireplaces, pretty wallpapers. Award-winning cuisine includes West coast delicacies like local venison, pan-seared scallops and Scotch beef. There's also a more informal bistro in case you're feeling a bit of a glutton! It's a charming spot and the perfect place to get cosy, explore the landscape, and taste the region.
