The Kilchrenan Inn offers a harmonious blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The inn's bar is a cozy retreat, featuring a traditional wood-burner and a selection of Scottish beers, ciders, gins, and whiskies. It's an ideal spot to unwind. Breakfast is the best we had in Scotland, especially homemade granola. The staff is extremely polite and friendly. Rooms are nicely decorated and spacious. Everything was great and we are so sorry we coudn't stay longer.

I loved everything a fantastic hotel in every way.I give it full marks.The owners and staff were so warmly welcoming and treated me with such kindness and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was beautifully cooked and was delicious at every meal- breakfast, lunch and dinner. The rooms were very comfortable, warm and cosy despite the cold outside in the open air .Tea and coffee facilities in every room. Soap,hair wash lotion body wash lotion were in the room. I have to say the hotel was spotlessly clean one of the cleanest I have stayed in in my life I sincerely mean that,The open fire in the bar/dinning room created a very warm welcoming atmosphere. The view from the dinning room over the Loch was spectacular. The hotel is very reasonably priced and great value. I had a brilliant experince in the Lochnell Arms and I will be definitely returning.

    The hotel itself has seen far better days. The rooms advertised are not the rooms we got. The yellow painted ceiling is probably hiding smokes marks from years ago. where white paint won’t cover it.. old and run down. Hotel is extremely noisy at night with the bar underneath not recommended for families with young children at all. Last night we returned to find the police there.

    We had a warm welcome and a lovely few nights at Cologin. It's well-located and close enough to everything while managing to feel quite remote. The family who run these lodges do a beautiful job and add a personal touch just by being present, friendly and unobtrusive. Great place for dogs too, with a gorgeous forest walk right on your doorstep. Would be an ideal place to bring children to as well.

    Clean and tidy and the room was a good size. Booked a family room for two adults and a four year old. The room had two large beds so plenty of space. We travelled in winter so the main building of the hotel was closed, as was the restaurant and anything else they usually offer. The hotel was very upfront about this and ensured we were aware prior to confirming our stay. 10-15 minute walk into the main town centre (with a child so probably quicker than that normally).
