Room was at the rear with poor outlook, also could do with updating. Food was exceptional, as was the service from very friendly staff. Hotel was in a good position by the loch, with good garden area. Apart from this room, an excellent stay.

The Cairndow Stagecoach Inn was a dated but fine place to spend a night in Loch Lomond. The restaurant was quite good and staff were friendly and attentive. Rooms were spacious and clean albeit decorated with a 1970s decor. Bed was comfortable.

Stop off on the way to Islay

Hotel a little run down externally but OK internally. Evening meal a little disapointing but breakfast was nice. The 3 pin plug circuit in my son's room did not work and the TV was very complicated, without any instructions present. Plenty of parking.

A hotel with more of a B&B feel

We absolutely loved our stay at Carindow Stagecoach Inn. When we first arrived we initially thought the hotel looked a little old, and that is because it is! It was built in the 1700s and has so much history. It’s right on the water and there is plenty to do around the area (we loved the Jail and hiked Pucks Glen which was my favorite hike of our trip-I thought it was a prettier hike than the fairy pools on Skye honestly). We ate at the restaurant twice for dinner and the food was delicious, especially the venison and mushroom cap. We we so impressed with the staff. We traveled with our 8 month old and the staff made us feel so welcome, really part of the family. We really loved both Ians and the that work there. They really went above and beyond, it was our favorite place we stayed on our three week vacation.

Comfortable with friendly welcome.

A very friendly welcome but I was disappointed with a rather tired looking room at the back of the hotel. Having said that it was fine and comfortable enough. Large bathroom. The view at the front is lovely and it was nice to view that from the hotel garden. I had to leave before breakfast so I was provided with a nice packed lunch instead which was ready for me to collect. Very helpful. I think a few thousand pounds would be useful to spruce it up a bit! I think i paid way over the odds booking it on here but that was my choice for other reasons.

Overdue for a makeover

Wonderful views from a spacious room, which felt more like a motel. Early concerns that it would be too cold to sleep in were abated when the electric heating kicked in but it was an inauspicious start. The buildings are very dated and the food menu published on the website was deceiving. Most of the choices were unavailable and we had to settle for a chicken dish with frozen veg. My first bite of the turnip was ice cold but the remainder was hot. The choice of wine by the glass was limited but the whisky menu was excellent. The whole experience (rooms were very expensive considering the state of the place and the disappointing menu) would have been a huge disappointment but was saved by the two other guests in the dining area, which resulted in a pleasant evening. Aside from the views, we definitely would not return.

The whole place needs serious facelift and structural work. Stairs are rickety, floors slope, showers dont work. Heating doesnt work. Should be shut for a complete revamp!

An absolute gem of a pub and experience from start to finish was the best we had in Scotland for sure. Property has a lot of history and it was exactly what I had pictured in my mind of a country Scottish inn. Fynes Ales a short drive away and was also brilliant. Best dinner we had in Scotland as well and you could tell all the staff care a lot about their inn and the people who visit.

Gorgeous location on Loch Fyne with spectacular views. Individual units in detached building have wonderful balcony decks overlooking Loch Fyne. Some electricals need repair/maintenance. Menu is adequate... more carnivore than herbivore. A pleasant stay... large beds in detached building units, spacious rooms and bathrooms. Need a "room guide" to explain functioning of heating, etc. to non-UK residents. Only 20 minutes to Inverary Castle. Evening meal pptions aside from hotel are non-existant.

We loved the location and that it was on the lake with beautiful views of the mountains! The staff were super friendly and accommodating. They have parking on premises which was a huge factor for my selection. It is only about a 15 minute ride from downtown Inverraray. The food at their restaurant was excellent as well. The room rate also included breakfast. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay. The only issue I had was the door to our room was a little difficult to open at first but the fellow at the front desk came over to help me out and we were good after that.
