Kilchrenan Inn

11th November 2024:

Fabulous dinner and stay once again at the Kilchrenan Inn. The food was beautifully prepared and cooked with a great choice for all palates. Warm, comfortable room with a soft and a firm pillow for each. Tastefully decorated everywhere, giving a very cosy feeling all round.

Plenty to do all around the hotel. Oban is nearby, walking opportunities, standing stones at Kilmartin, distillery tours etc… Wouldn’t go elsewhere to eat though: enjoy all the Kilchrenan Inn has to offer.

Would Recommend: Yes

A real find ! Lovely pub atmosphere, excellent food and a very comfortable bedroom. High standards and an attention to detail makes for a very nice stay. Shame it was only for one night …….

Go there !

We were welcomed warmly and with attention to our needs for dinner as we were arriving a bit later (7p) than expected. The staff went above and beyond finding us help when we came out to a flat tire in the morning. The team at Kilchrenan Inn is outstanding.

this is a lovely Inn about 20-30 minute drive to Oban.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th October 2024:

I only have good things to say about this inn, including how spotless the rooms are - it was all lovely. But the staff were exceptional. So welcoming, from the point of check in through the gorgeous meal (including lovely chef who checked in with me personally on dietary requirements) right to the smiley, happy lady who served us breakfast. I have stayed in many a Highland inn but this one has a proper community feel and is a cut above most. To top it off, the roast was amazing (my husband says it’s the best he’s ever eaten, which is saying something)!

This area, including nearby Taynuilt, is so beautiful and has a fascinating history. The old iron works in Taynuilt are fascinating, and the walks around here are gorgeous.

Would Recommend: Yes

We took our time to find the right accommodation for us, and choosing the Kilchrenan Inn could not have been a better find. Suited us right down to the ground, off the beaten track surrounded by beautiful countryside which was great for us and our two dogs. Accommodation was beautiful ( room 3) spacious and comfy and then the food, to die for, everything we had was delicious highly recommend the crab mac and cheese. Staff were so lovely, could not do enough for you. Fantastic few days away, we will definitely be back - 5 star rating

Would Recommend: Yes

The staff were lovely. The room was nice maybe a radio or music of some sort would be an idea. The bed and linen were nice as were the towels. Evening meal was ok maybe a 3/5 more seafood would be nice,the breakfast was good 4/5 The situation was lovely and peaceful the outside of the inn could do with a tidy up and maybe some flower pots and plants to soften it up. We would stay again

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you. You must have missed the 10 wooden planters full of newly potted flowers that are dotted around the outside of the pub and the Bose speakers that are in the rooms which can be connected to wireless devices via bluetooth.

Absolutely wonderful couple of nights at The Kilchreran Inn. The owners and staff are so friendly and helpful, we and our Vizsla Otto felt immediately at home. Although we were running late on the first evening, Pio made us feel at ease and treated us to a delicious dinner when we arrived. The bed is extremely comfortable and a lovely room and bathroom too. We ate both nights at the Inn and the food is really fantastic. Would highly recommend a stay and dinner here.

We had many beautiful walks by Loch Awe and in the local woods. All are well signposted. We had a quick stop in Oban for fresh langoustines and mussles by the quayside.

We had an amazing stay at Kilchrenann Inn! Warm and welcoming staff that make you feel at home in an instant. We had a lovely dinner and delicious breakfast at the Inn and the room was clean and nicely decorated. Loved the location and drive, a little bit tucked away from the busy everyday life. Staff also provided us with some tips of things to do in the surroundings. We were sad to leave already after one night and would love to come back in the future :)

Dalavich is just a short drive away for a nice short hike to the Avich falls Dalavich Oakwood Forest https://maps.app.goo.gl/EuHTA3U3JAfbxm8PA?g_st=ic The restaurant at the Inn is really good and has a nice vibe, so recommend eating there :)

Nice room (1) and staff were very attentive and helpful. Food very good for both dinner and breakfast with the bar providing a good selection of beers and spirits at reasonable prices. The mobile phone signal is very week but free WiFi was fine. No Tv available due to location. Enjoyed our visit and would stay at this location again.

Apparently a very good atmosphere on Friday nights when the locals get together.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st October 2022:

Friendly, helpful hosts and staff. A lovely place to stay in lovely surroundings. The food and atmosphere were fantastic.

Great for walking and cycling with easy access to cycle route 78. A short drive from Oban for a bit of Island hopping. Ben Cruachan ( the hollow mountain ) well worth a visit but requires booking in advance.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st October 2022:

We arrived on a pretty ‘dreich’ cold day, so it was so nice to have a warm welcome from the owner and also the wood burner was roaring away. We had dinner too and that was delicious as was breakfast. The rooms are lovely and the whole place is spotless. The owners and staff go above and beyond to care for your needs. Look forward to coming back for a few days longer next time.

In times like these when costs are going up for us all and It’s especially tough for small businesses I think rather than staying at big corporate places we should all try and support smaller, family run places where it’s really appreciated and you actually feel better yourself giving them some business.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th October 2022:

Lovely quiet, relaxing location for a peaceful break. Well fitted rooms, great en-suite and no TV to detract from the surroundings. Front of house Tristan ran the bar and restaurant superbly and very obliging. Quality food and drink menus offering a wide choice, and finally finished up in the morning with a well cooked breakfast. Would certainly recommend.

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway in a lovely setting then try the Kilchrenan Inn. You’re unlikely to be disappointed.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th October 2022:

For travellers that like to walk, there are many great walks, suitable for all levels of fitness. There are good options for restaurants within a short drive away, we would recommend booking as early as you can as they tend to be busy most of the time.

Everything about The Kilchrenan Inn exceeded our expectations. Our room was so well put together and the fitting and fixtures beautiful-you can really tell this is a passion project down to the tap/shower and even the bins! It was cosy and inviting when we arrived, we slept like babies in the plush bed and the shower in the morning was bliss-1000x better than our home shower! Everyone we met were super friendly and helpful-very relaxed and nothing was too much trouble. Can’t even begin to talk about the food-genuinely out of this world and way beyond anything we expected. We had the rack of lamb and the chicken, ham and tarragon pie and it was one of the best meals we have ever eaten. Will absolutely be returning- Thank you so much!

We had breakfast and dinner here and would absolutely recommend-it made our trip. We travelled to Tobermory for the day and then other days stayed local headed to Airds Bay and other nearby walks which were beautiful.

The current restrictions imposed by the COVID situation are a good test for any business in the hospitality sector. Pip and Phil have done an amazing job here and along with their ever-helpful and friendly team have created a 'safe' space for travellers to enjoy their usual levels of hospitality, which are excellent. Instantly apologetic for the necessary absence of some of the touches that set Kilchrenan apart from an 'average' establishment, you soon see how much time and effort has been invested into making your stay as safe as possible.

The Kilchrenan Inn is situated well off the beaten track, yet is only a short drive from the main Oban-Tyndrum road that allows access to either the delights of the West Coast or the Central Highlands. During the summer months make sure you take ample supplies of midge repellant as these little monsters are part ofScottish life!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Kilchrenan Inn, we had our 2 children aged 12 and 15 with us. Everything was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished with quality in every area. The food was amazing from the delicious breakfast was local fresh fruit and homemade granola which was a firm favourite. We ate at the hotel both evenings as the food was so good we didn't want to try any where else. A great selection of aperitifs which j would recommend including local beer on tap and a lovely selection of wines.

We stayed the first nights of opening after the Coronavirus lockdown. It was obvious that excellent customer service and great food is the norm at The Kilchrenan Inn, however they also went to great lengths to ensure that all the guests felt safe from a coronavirus perspective. We couldn't have asked for any more and cannot recommend The Kilchrenan Inn highly enough.

Loch Awe is a lovely swim!

Would Recommend: Yes

21st July 2020:

Brillant guys, Kirsty and I were made to feel vary safe, and very comfortable, without any pressure. Cant compliments the attention to detail from both Phil and Pip when it came to cleanliness and hygiene, but this did not sacrifice any level of service. Room was kitted out with high level kit which made the time spent in the room just a bit more relaxed, decent music system and quality Nespresso coffee. Food was top notch from perfectly cooked Rack of lamb for dinner, to homemade granola in the morning. Top drawer!

This is a pretty sparse location, so be prepared to designate a driver if spending more than a couple of days, but if just here for a short stay there are lovely walks and small adventures for kids. The guys are even happy for you to bring your own Nespresso pods if you are a coffee addict like me!

Lovely peaceful location. Highly recommend.

Just go for a walk and take in the fabulous scenery. Great stopping point if you've had a long drive and planning to catch a ferry at Oban (30 mins away). One of the nicest inns in Scotland I have stayed in.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th March 2020:

This was the surprise highlight of my trip to Scotland so far. I say this as I didn’t expect to find a place of this high level of quality in a tiny village like Kilchrenan. The decor was beautifully done out, the food is the best I’ve had in Scotland over two trips now and the hosts Phil and Pip were super friendly, accommodating and a pleasure to be around. Almost like being around old friends. Thank you for an unforgettable time.

The only tip I can give other travelers is that you have to build a stay at the Kilchrenan Inn into your stay in Scotland....you will not regret it.

Would Recommend: Yes

Excellent all round. The room was lovely, spacious and cosy with all the little touches (perhaps a box of tissues would be a good addition and fresh milk in a mini flask to keep it cold in the room). The food was the absolute stand out. Sebastian's food was first class and everything we ate was perfect. The service was friendly and welcoming and we wouldn't hesitate to return.

We didn't have much time in the area but we did do the circular walk at Inverinan as recommended by staff.

Whilst we only engaged for one overnight stay,we were delighted with the facilities of the Kilchrenan Inn. A wonderfully warm welcome from Phil throughout a stormy snowy night created a superb backdrop for a wonderful meal prepared by Phillipa and a superb range of malt and whiskey liqueurs,a roaring open fire gave it the final touch. Anything missing...... A good ghost story. Then retired to a very comfortable bed. Fabulous place and fully recommended.

A lovely cosy Inn, beautifully refurbished with a good selection of wine & beers. Predictably quiet to stay in at night with good wi-fi connection if required. Tasty well prepared and presented food which can be eaten as desired in either the restaurant or bar areas. Nice ambience throughout.

Consider staying in winter for a cosy fireside experience. Oban is only 20 minutes away by scenic drive. Visit Falls of Lora and Loch Etive or go south-east for a trip down Loch Awe.

Very friendly staff, who made us feel welcome and happy to help with any requests. Rooms were comfy and clean. Had dinner on the 1st night, food was excellent and really lovely ambience. Would highly recommend.

Need to drive down a single track road to reach inn, not too bad a drive though. About 20-25mins drive to Oban. Walked the Glen Nant trail and Ben Cruachan walk. Both really beautiful, make sure you have good walking boots and feel comfortable with steep climbs though.

Pip and Phil are absolutely fantastic, super welcoming with great pride in delivering a memorable experience. The refurb is modern and stylish, very comfy beds with lovely quality linen. Delicious food, one of us being coeliac ... presented no problems. Wee concern was unsecured network which makes you hesitate but don’t believe is an issue. No tv was great..books/magazines all about. We’ll be back.

We didn’t try anywhere else! Beautiful Loch Awe to enjoy!

We received a warm welcome and all the staff were really friendly and helpful. The location is great and the food from the restaurant, both breakfast and dinner, was excellent. The inn has a really nice atmosphere and I can recommend the local lager!

It’s a good location if you’re looking to visit the Loch Lomond area. It is around 90 minutes drive and the scenery on the way is fabulous.

Extremely comfortable, well decorated and spacious room. The food in the Inn was absolutely delicious and is to be recommended for overall quality and how flexibly they veganised dishes (in addition to what they already offered). The fish was excellent. The staff are really friendly and we would definitely go back if in the area.

A lovely surprise to find such a stylish Inn with delicious food and not too far off the beaten track (in scottish miles). Felt at home as everyone was so friendly and we wished we'd booked for longer.

Great base from which to explore this lovely part of scotland and too island hop, that's if you can prise yourself away from the Inn

Would Recommend: Yes

Really lovely Inn, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All staff very lovely and helpful and gave suggestions for places to visit in the area. Room was clean and modern (with modern furnishings) and very spacious (we had 3 people on the family room and there was plenty space). Also well equipment with coffee/tea/hot drink supplies and chocolate caramels! Food was delicious, we had dinner and breakfast and there was a variety for both meals (chicken pie was my favourite) Ample parking available and really easy to find (sign for the inn on the main street)

An amazing little 'hide-away' that's off the beaten track. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the the bar/restaurant areas cosy and welcoming. Food is prepared using local produce by the chef/patron and a small dedicated team.The menu is not pretentious and the portions are easy and plentiful.

This is a lovely little retreat where you can unwind, with easy access to Loch Awe, Oban and the delights of the West Coast.

We would like to complement you and your staff on the outstanding facilities we were offered in our dog friendly room. Every comfort was included,from Arran toiletries,to local bottled water. The bed linen and towels were of the highest quality,too. Nothing could have been bettered. We were given a table in the bar with the dogs in the evening,then went into your restaurant for a superb meal. Your range of beers and drinks was interesting,with many choices. If possible,could you tell me the name of the lager I had,which was in your chiller? It was a bottle on the far left,with a a busy label,next to a can of lager!Approx 4.6%,and quite dark in colour. It was delicious,and I would like to buy some more! Breakfast was freshly cooked,with lots of items on offer. Attention to detail,from cutlery,napkins and decor throughout was impressive. We wish we could have stayed longer,but had to return to Arran. Just wish you were nearer to us! (not 400 miles away). Good luck with your wonderful Inn. You deserve it.

An absolute hidden gem! The bedroom decorated perfectly with lovely little touches, coffee machine, water and biscuits. Only one suggestion a mirror in the bedroom would be great, it wasn’t a major problem I used the bathroom mirror and I had a small mirror with me. The restaurant and food was incredible, we enjoyed our evening meal and breakfast could not have been better. The customer service from the team 100%!!

We were touring around the west of Scotland and had visited the Oban games that day. The Inn was some 10 miles or so from Oban but so so much better than the hotels I saw in Oban itself. Although a little of the beaten track, still ver close to some beautiful scenery.

Delighted to see that the Kilchrenan has continued to be in good hands, keeping the ’pubby’ feel with a high standard of food. The rooms are well-designed and contemporary but remember to ask for fresh milk before going to bed!

It’s a bit of a drive to the nearest restaurants but Taynuilt has a couple of decent places to eat. Oban has pulled up its socks considerably and is not as neglected as it used to be.

Great to stay in a beautifully renovated Inn with owners who are passionate about their business and staff who were friendly and welcoming. Excellent food and wine, delicious breakfast (locally sourced ingredients and home-made dishes). Extremely comfortable beds and high quality bed linen. Just perfect!

Perfect base for exploring Oban and the surrounding coast. Great area for walking. Apart from the usual sights, drop in at St Conan´s Kirk at Dalmally, Carnasserie Castle near Kilmartin and try Seafari Adventures wildlife trips operating out of Ellenabeich

We can’t recommend the Kilchrenan Inn highly enough. Our room was fabulous, and we had such a warm welcome on arrival - including for our dog! The food was excellent - high quality ingredients with a lovely casual feel, and we were sent on our way to our early morning ferry with bacon sandwiches and coffee. Thank you for a great experience!

Definitely try the restaurant - the Brown Bread & Whisky Ice Cream is a must have! The owners can point you in the right direction of some lovely dog walks too.

Best food of our small family trip around Scotland! The inn is charmingly situated and has a nice walk in all directions. The owners were incredibly accommodating besides being talented with the menu and design of space. The bunk bed built into an alcove have us a separate but together vibe much appreciated- wish more hotels were like this. The morning breakfast was made to order. My son had black pudding and the haggis- and loved it. It’s a bit of a drive to get to the inn but once there, peaceful, friendly and worth it!

Take a walk up the country road- the sweeping views are gorgeous. Also, stop at Kilchren Castle - not far. And by all means, try the lamb, the fish and the risotto on the dinner menu...plus the desserts. Missing it as we speak.

Would Recommend: Yes

We stayed for 3 nights in June/July 2019. We ate here every night as the food was superb. The smoked fish board was delicious. Breakfast was also excellent. We stayed in Room No. 3 which was very spacious, with a super king bed, fresh white bedding made it like sleeping on a cloud. The staff are very friendly and Phil and Pip went out of their way to accommodate our needs. I have recommended this Inn to friends and would say that it is the best B&B we have stayed at for a long time.

We went across to Mull which is quite beautiful. We would have liked more time in Inveraray.
