Cowal Hotel Guide - 3 Stars Hotels in Cowal, Scotland

"We were given the 2 day beak as a gift. Unfortunately, our stay was not as we expected. Arrived at check in and had booked a king executive room but was told off by the staff member at reception for not booking a dog friendly room. I explained that I didn't see this instruction on the website but I was told again that "the instructions were there" Got a room which we were told that was an exec queen and didn't charge for the dog and that we had actually ended up saving money so we thought this was good. We arrived at our room and it was so disappointing. Room was tired, sofa was threadbare, no pictures on wall and the bathroom was in a bad state of repair including hairs in the bath drain. Really disappointed but because we had the dog, we didn't want to complain. On the 2nd day and after coming back to the hotel, the room had been tidied but teacup unwashed and bed just pulled up. One towel changed and no cleaning done. Holidays are not always about spending time in a hotel but the nicest thing after a day out is coming back to your room to relax - unfortunately we didn't feel relaxed at the hotel at all. Breakfast on the second morning not available at the hotel and we had to go to another hotel - we got a letter but no reason given for this. We won't be returning to the Buchanan Arms Hotel; so disappointing and especially since this was a treat from a very special relative."

"Cute. Clean. Food was delicious. Bed was super soft and hot but the rest was great. "

"Staff are lovely. Fabulous view from room across the bay. Comfy bed. Great breakfast. "

"Parking was fine as we got there before car park filled up. There are no shops nearby. Our room had only a drip of cold water coming out the tap. The bed was sagging and the kettle was rusty inside. Apart from that it was warm and clean. "

"I have rated this stay high because it was excellent value for money. Obviously the area and views are outstanding. Our room was clean and comfortable and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We decided to have dinner at the hotel because they had great options and the Korma we ordered was probably the best I’ve ever had. It was delicious and fresh and we were so impressed with the quality of the food for the price. It’s my 2nd time staying at this hotel and it’s been pleasant both times. It is much cheaper than other options in the area and I can honestly say the food was 10/10. We also had a great restful sleep! They have a hot tub & sauna for guests to use and the pool table was free to use for guests also, which was ideal. Thank you, we will come again!"

"Fantastic location. Lovely staff and wonderful food. Will definitely return in the future."
