Stayed for business (working in Campbeltown). Room was clean, modern and comfortable. Owners were welcoming. Evening meal was really good, and fantastic breakfast options. I will stay here again next time I am working in Campbeltown, and I would not hesitate to bring the family (and dog). Great place to stay. Location ideal for anyone with a dog, as the beach is just behind the hotel.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. We have been there 5 or 6 times now and always find the hosts and staff welcoming, nothing is too much trouble for them. The rooms are very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Being dog owners themselves, your dogs are made very welcome too and allowed in all areas of the hotel. There is a lovely dining room looking onto the beach, a comfy sitting area and a bar so no need to go anywhere if you don't want to.
Tips:It's a lovely quiet spot with plenty of beautiful walks and beaches. It is also close to the ferry ports for Islay, Gigha and Arran.

Enjoyed our 4 day break and will be back and will recommend to family/friends

Wonderful team who couldn't do enough! It's the small details, such as showing you to your room after check-in, or calling you by your first name throughout your stay (even though this was my first visit), that make the difference. Lovely and quirky decor, extremely clean, warm and comfortable room. And great food too! Thank you very much - will definitely visit again.
Tips:No need to look elsewhere for food & drink - dinner and breakfast were both excellent, and being able to sit in the conservatory and look at the Hebridean Islands was an extra treat. They also have a gin menu to rival a big city establishment.

This is a world-class hotel staffed by great people who work hard to provide a great hotel. It is a fantastic location on the Kintyre Peninsula down by Campbelltown. Fantastic food and a nice room all for a reasonable price. This is a fantastic "outpost" in a fairly remote place in Scotland and I can't say enough positive things about it. Don't miss it if you are in the neighbor hood. The building is not new and that is a plus.
Tips:I stay here for golf at Machrihanish which is south on the peninsula.

We absolutely loved our stay. Ian and Nick and the other staff were very welcoming. It was lovely to be able to take our dog everywhere. We had brought a dog towel, but towels, blankets and treats were provided for dogs. The food was delicious. I'm a Coeliac and I felt confident from when I booked that they understood that, and the menu was very clear about what I could have. We hope to stay again.
Tips:Lots of lovely beach walks nearby. At Bellochantuy, but also Westport beach not far away. We did a loop of the peninsula and had coffee and cake at Torrisdale Castle estate and a lovely walk there too.

We had a brilliant stay. I wish it had been for longer. Nothing was too much trouble. Both the owners and their staff, in particular the lady our first night??? could not have been more welcoming and helpfu; even when I thought I had lost my key. Food excellent, especially breakfast. Last but not least Archie loved his stay, dogs are made so welcome and being a cornish boy he couldn't have been happier with that wonderful beach. So a big thank you to you all!
Tips:We were only their a couple of nights but I would recommend the South End, a very interesting, St Columba chapel, well and ?footprints, ?Dunvartie and its beach, interesting ruined buildings nearby and their history and then the Mull itself, the lighthouse and the poignant memorial

Nick, Ian and the team are very friendly and hospitable. Hotel is relaxed and comfortable and perfect if you're a dog owner. Burt enjoyed his stay as much as we did. Breakfast and dinner were lovely and the hotel has a great whisky menu (which Nick can guide you through).
Tips:The hotel has access to a little beach, but a couple of miles down the road is Westport Beach, which is over 6 miles long. There are very few people on it and it's great for long dog walk. Also, the people at the Glen Scotia Distillery are very friendly and helpful. Worth a visit.

Wonderfully friendly beach front hotel. Very clean and comfortable rooms. The owners and their staff are very kind and always ready to help with any enquiries. Food is very good and the breakfast is exceptional. There is a huge range of whiskies and runs as well as the usual drinks. This is the hotel that really delivers to dogs and their owners. Access all areas so the dogs have a great stay too. Able to access the beach safely well away from busy roads and the beach is very safe.
Tips:Lots of wonderful beaches. Plenty of golf courses on the Kintyre peninsula including the famous Machrihanish club. Great place for birdwatching and wildlife. Spot red squirrels and red deer. Try both Muneroy tea rooms in Southend and the Blackbird in Carradale for great cakes. Skipness for seafood. A day out to Gigha is easy via the ferry as is a day trip to Arran also via a short ferry crossing. This is the destination that really delivers.

The Argyll Hotel exceeded our expectations in many ways, even with the good reviews that we had seen about it. The hotel was artistically decorated with a warm, clean and friendly atmosphere. The owners and staff were efficient and helpful and provided good food and service at both dinner and breakfast. Our room was of a good size with a comfortable bed. sofa and a recently refurbished bathroom. Not having dogs ourselves we were a little worried about staying in a "dog friendly" hotel, would there be much barking in the night etc. To our amazement all the dogs were well behaved and no noise in the night. We stayed one night on our outward journey to Islay and gladly returned for a night on our homeward journey and would highly recommend the hotel to anyone travelling in the Kintyre area

Food was fantastic - especially breakfast. Very reasonable prices at the bar. The staff could not have been more helpful. Great shower with lots of hot water.
Tips:We had room 3 which must be one of the best looking our over the water. Spend your days sightseeing and come home to the hotel for dinner and take in the view of the setting sun. We were there for the golf - machrihanish is a brilliant course. Go to the lighthouse past Southend - spectacular

Very warm welcome, very dog friendly. Room was warm and easy to regulate temperature. Shower was also easy to use although we couldn't work out how to switch between normal showerhead and the larger one. Lovely comfortable seating areas, one to the side of the bar and one in front of the conservatory restaurant. Excellent friendly service at all times.
Tips:Lovely sandy beach easily accessible from the hotel terrace. Gate is a little tricky to bolt you will need both hands, one to lift gate up so that bolt will slot in. Parking in front of hotel or a few meters further along. Westport Beach is a short drive between the hotel and Campbeltown and is well worth a visit. Its very sandy and long and convenient car park with easy access to the path to the beach.

Nick, Ian & their staff were most welcoming. The food menus were just right, brilliantly presented & very tasty. Plenty of choice but you need to book your table in advance as very popular. The hotel rooms are very nice, recently refurbished & fresh. The outside patio area was very nice at thr rear of the hotel, great place to relax when the weather permits. Easy enough to find off the main road & nicely located.
Tips:The kintyre 66 which circumnavigates the peninsula is a nice day out. Views were brilliant! The ferry to Gigha, which is approximately ten miles north of the hotel & well signposted from the main road is worth a visit, ferry leaves on the hour every hour, pub on the island to get lunch or drinks plus some nice walks or drives. Plenty of shops & restaurants in Campbeltown which is approximately 15 miles south of the hotel.

Another fab weekend at the Argyll Hotel.... Welcomed by friendly staff, as usual, we were quickly settled in to our fav room which was one of the rooms with the view over the beach. Dinner menu has a good selection of options for all tastes and portions are plentiful! Breakfast also has a wide range of options and is enjoyed in the restaurant overlooking the beach. As regular visitors to the hotel, our ratings are based on our expectations vs previous experiences. We choose to come back time and again because of the location, the plentiful food, the staff and the dog friendly policy..... and of course there is the beautiful beach :-)
Tips:As above - we choose the hotel for its location on the beach at Bellochantuy however Campbeltown is only a short drive away, or the bus stops directly outside the hotel. We enjoy exploring the towns, villages and beaches around the region whatever the season.

A Perfect Beach Getaway with a Pup-Friendly Touch! We had the pleasure of staying at the Argyll Hotel, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience! Nestled right on the beach, the hotel offered breathtaking views that made every moment feel like a postcard. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying my morning coffee while gazing out at the ocean was simply magical. What truly set this hotel apart was their incredible hospitality towards our furry friend. From the moment we arrived, Ian & Nick went above and beyond to make our dog feel welcome. The hotel’s location was perfect for beach walks, and there were plenty of nearby trails and parks for our dog to explore. After a day of sun and sand, we returned to our comfortable room, which was impeccably clean and well-appointed, providing the perfect retreat for both humans and pets alike. I highly recommend the Argyll Hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway with their furry companion. The combination of stunning views, exceptional service, and a warm welcome for pets makes it a standout choice. We can't wait to return!

My second stay here this year. The standard is very far above what I have found elsewhere for similar (or indeed much higher) prices. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is extremely relaxing. Excellent breakfasts and dinners.

Tips:You could stay here and not need to go anywhere else, but you should see the varied scenery at such places as Machrihanish, Southend, Carradale, and even a walk up Barr Glen or up the forestry road to Lussa Loch gives a different perspective on Kintyre from simply going to Campbeltown.

What a fantastic place, we loved it and intend to go back. The owners are friendly and helpful, other staff members are also attentive and efficient. the room we booked had a sea view which was stunning and beautiful. Although you couldn't get outside,the door with the sea view could be opened fully or tilted, allowing the full sound of the sea into the room. Stunning. We ate in the resteraunt, in the conservatory and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We loved this hotel, and if we had known about it sooner we would have booked for a longer stay.
Tips:The hotel is situated not far from the kennacraig ferry, follow the A83 south towards Campbeltown and it is on your left next to Bellochantuy Beach holiday park. Within the hotel there is a seperate bar, and seating area. There is a seperate area in the conservatory for pre/post dinner drinks. Outside there is a seating area, with a gate onto the beach. Heaven for a wee walk. The resteraunt welcomes dogs.

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at the Argyll Hotel. It’s in a great location down by the beach with views of Islay, Jura and The Isle of Gigha. The food we had at the hotel was amazing. We really enjoyed our breakfast and evening meals, the only problem was we only stayed 4 nights and didn’t get a chance to try everything on the menu !
Tips:A trip over to the Isle of Gigha is a must, it is so peaceful and beautiful around the gardens at Achamore House. If you like whisky 🥃 a trip to Glen Scotia and Springbank distilleries is a must although it was impossible to get a bottle of Springbank 15 yr old as there was none in stock and there was at least 30 outside at 10am next morning! Also if you are feeling adventurous a drive out to the Mull of Kintyre which is quite hair raising in itself before you walk down a very steep slope and then approximately 80 metres up to your right to see the memorial cairn dedicated to the chinook helicopter crash in 1994 when 29 people lost their lives. It’s very windy down there and the walk back up to the car park is not for the faint hearted.

We just loved this hotel even although we had a small room next to the front door and overlooking the cars parked outside. It’s a place where you can really relax. Nicely decorated, very light and airy, three separate lounge spaces, a restaurant with stunning captivating views over the Atlantic and a cute little bar. The breakfast was lovely with an extensive choice of very original dishes. The dinner menu was excellent value for money. All members of staff were absolutely charming and made us feel totally at home. A really enjoyable three night stay. We could quite happily have stayed longer.

Always highest standards - very laid back but really effiicent and enjoyable. Spotless modern interiors. The Breakfasts particularly imaginative , well presented and ample. Breakfast staff delightful. Ian a particularly good cook with lots of natural creativity. Evening service too pretty faultless when Nick on duty. Not a great variety on menu for Vegetarians though. If you don't eat meat or shellfish it is very limited. The the only sticking point for us.( No omlettes available for example). The lovely large and light restauraunt with great sea views is also a well-behaved doggie friendly area - hospitable and quirky. This not a disturbing factor to those of us staying with no doggies who love canines too. Bedrooms spotless with modern facilities . A little jewel in a stunning setting.
Tips:Fabulous hosts Ian and Nick bring a considerate and individual vibe with highest standards at The Argyll Hotel, with two sweet- natured Dalmations! It has a beautiiful beach just outside with a big sky. Westport beach ( walking/surfing) only 5 miles away. Campbletown a little further. A great handmade chocolate shop in the main street along with other historical interests and harbour. Good cafes etc. Lovely preserved original Art Deco small cinema centrally in the town. Or leave Campbletown, (narrow lanes and dips! ) to the Southend for those who love exploring by car.

What a gem of a place this hotel is. The setting on the beach is perfect. The bedrooms are very clean and well presented. Perfect for bringing your dog/s on a fun holiday. Dogs are allowed in all areas including the conservatory where meals are taken and all are well behaved. The food is exceptional a very hearty breakfast and the evening menu is varied and very generous. Drinks are not overpriced for a hotel. The staff cannot do enough for you and are always happy to help and share their knowledge of the area
Tips:The Kintyre peninsula is such a lovely place to visit. I cannot comment on restaurants because I always eat at the hotel but there is a great selection of tea rooms for lunch or afternoon tea. The beaches are so clean as is the sea, very little litter on the beaches. There is a beach around every bend in the road, some offer water sports. Campbeltown is small but very pleasant for a walk round. Two supermarkets, Tesco and co-op for any bits and pieces needed. A visit to Tarbert is a must as is a day trip to Gigha. You can also have a day in Arran by using the ferry on the peninsula.

Tips:Hotel is situated right on the beach and tge restaurant overlooks this which is stunning.

Could not have asked for a better place to stay on our trip to the Mull of Kintyre. A friend had recommended this hotel to us and he was so right. The staff were friendly and helpful. The owners were amazing - they have designed the hotel so tastefully and we so enjoyed sitting outside soaking in the view. Our meals were delicious but best of all was how dog friendly everyone was. Our dog was so happy!

We have stayed here many times over the years and always receive a very warm welcome from Ian, Nick and the rest of the team. The hotel is in a perfect location for us and the surrounding scenery is stunning. The rooms are adequate and comfortable, the food excellent and well presented. The highlight is being able to sit outside on the terrace looking across the sea towards Islay and witnessing the amazing sunsets.

Love everything about this place, the location, the owners Nick and Ian, the Dalmatian’s, the food everything!! We have started making this an annual trip and we are always welcomed and feel at home.

This was a return visit for us as we enjoyed our first visit so much. We love the relaxed friendly feel of this hotel, and the warm welcome is extended to your canine companions. On arrival as well as all your needs being met in the spacious rooms you are provided with an extra towel and blanket for your dog and a little treat for them. We really enjoyed the three course dinner with lots of choices followed by a drink in the bar with Luna our spaniel who was really excited to see the hosts dalmatians Winter & Logan. After a great night’s sleep a lovely full Scottish breakfast set us up perfectly for the day. Thanks again for another really enjoyable stay in your truly dog friendly hotel.
Tips:The hotel beach is lovely for an evening walk or first thing in the morning. For a longer walk we headed down to Westport Beach a short drive down the coast. In our travels we stopped at Big Jessie’s Tea Room at Gigha Ferry Port for lunch another local dog friendly stop. On our way home this time we took a slight detour to visit the Crinan Canal where we stopped for a coffee and a slice of cake at Polly’s Coffee Stop a great local business running out of a converted horse box parked at one of the locks.

We received a lovely welcome when we arrived for our three night stay. As always, our room was extremely comfortable and our dog was made to feel most welcome in all areas of the hotel. Breakfasts and dinners were beautifully prepared and the service was excellent as was the wide selection of drinks.The staff were so helpful in every way. The view from the conservatory where we ate was stunning , overlooking Islay and Jura, Another highlight for us was walking on the beautiful beach on the doorstep.A wonderful place to stay.
Tips:So much to see and do. This time we visited the shop and garden centre at Glenbarr, walked the sands at Westport, Macrihanish and A’Cleitch beaches, visited Skipness Castle, shopped in Tarbert and Campbeltown,visited Carradale and Beinn an Tuirc Distillery and so much more. We did not manage to fit in our favourite ferry trips to Gigha, Islay and Arran. Hopefully next time!

First classservice everything thank could be asked for in a first class hotel. Staff pleasant and most helpful in every way even to adjusting situation of bed rooms where necessary. Good first class with menu changed every evening . The cocker spaniel which accompanied us had a ball, trying to do a King Canute with the breakers and being equally unsuccessful !!
Tips:Ten miles from Campbeltown which is well worth a visit;the ArtDeco Picture House is worth seeing; the Painting on Davaar Island is also worth seeing-beware the tides; statuette of Lady McCartney; memorial to Sir William MacKinnon in Kirk Street;(founder of British India Company)road to Mull of Kintyre lighthouse- careful and only if it’s a clear day( lovely view across to N.

For the amount of hotels I stay in for work I don't normally write reviews, but this has surpassed my expectations. Hotel doesn't look much from the initial outside at front, however once you go inside it has clearly not long been renovated, and to a very high standard. Staff were excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. Room clean and well maintained. Food was lovely within the conservatory overlooking the beach/bay, along with sperate bar area, and separate lounge areas. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here (even though just one night).

On arrival, I met by Nick a warm reception, his knowledge of whisky and gin was very good, and all described on the drinks list, I would recommend the Kintyre gin. Later, we met Pam, a lovely lady, a true asset to the hotel. One of the dogs' tummy was not as well as we would like. Kindly, Pam asked the chef if he would cook our eggs for the dogs, no, not a problem at all. Met Ian with their dogs on the beach. Our dogs were provided with towels, blankets, and a chew each. Lovely touch. Fabulous hotel decor is lovely. We ate our evening meal in the restaurant the mussels was an excellent choice! Breakfast cooked by Ian, who cooked my eggs to perfection along with a muffin and smoked salmon. Tim had the full Scottish breakfast. Both Excellent!!!
Tips:Although only on Kintyre for one night and the weather was not as its best to see the beauty, we managed to get to see Anthony Gomelys man on the edge of the sea, Grip. You have to walk from the estate drive at Saddle 0.4 mile to the beach where you will see him stood looking out to Arran, well woth a visit if you like art. Glen bar is a little village off the main road, there is a garden centre with a lovely shop, this was recommended to us for lunch but after our breakfast no lunch was necessary.

This was a superb find! The hotel is situated right on the beach at Bellochantuy bay and not too far from Campbeltown. We travelled with our dog and our room was on the ground floor at the front of the hotel. The room itself was of a good size with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was a superbly appointed wet-room with good toiletries. We ate at the hotel on the evening and couldn't have asked for a better meal. The meals are served in the conservatory overlooking the beach and are of a very high standard.The staff are friendly and very professional. We couldn't have asked for more. Our only regret is not booking a second night!
Tips:Book a table if you wish to eat here. We went slightly out of season and the restaurant was busy with people turned away.

Very smooth and generous checking in time. Very happily greeted by Logan and Winter (the doggie components of the family)-very waggy and well -behaved but not jumping up. Beds very comfortable and lovely cool room as it was heatwave time, and extremely clean. Stayed for Dinner which was tasty and creatively put together by Olaf. Lovely breakfast with exceptional and friendly staff. Wonderful .
Tips:Amazing beach outside. Also very close to Westport Beach-incredibly long and sandy with good sized car-park. (Have not been there in Summer though) Bird watching and such a beaitiful coast to travel along with the ferry turnoffs to Gigha and Jura not so far along for a day trip out.

See you again next month!

The staff were lovely, room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The only downside (and it wont apply to all rooms)… we have ha room that had a low slanted ceiling (because of the roof). My husband is 6ft 3 and I am 5ft 8. I banged my head off the ceiling in the bedroom and bathroom more than once. A combination of design and user error is the only negative I can report on our stay. Will be back for future visits.
Tips:The food and drink in the hotel is lovely. There are small rock paintings and glass pictures to buy in the hotel itself. You do need to book for dinner in advance if you are visiting as they are very busy. A great guide map was provided in our room which was helpful for planning our next visit.

The most dog friendly hotel we have ever used .Ian and Nick plus all the staff make you feel welcome and at home , the location is second to non with the terrace giving direct access to a beautiful white sandy beach . The food is extremely good value although the Argyll Hotel is the only place to eat for miles they do not take advantage of this and the prices haven’t really changed in the four years we have been visiting. Service is extremely quick and nothing seems to much trouble ,a quiet little corner of heaven with views to sit and drink in , maybe over a very reasonably priced bottle of wine.
Tips:Visit The island or Gigha , the ferry is only 15 mins away for fresh seafood served on the beach at the Boat house and the most wonderful unspoilt beaches .

An absolute gem of a hotel. Lovely spacious room, recently modernised. Lovely friendly staff. Backing right onto the beach ,with glorious views from the restaurant of Islay, Ghia and Paps of Jura. Excellent food-both dinner and breakfast, with quick service throughout. I have travelled extensively all over the world, during the past 50 years, and without doubt this is one of the very best hotels in which I have stayed. I shall definitely be back again. Best wishes to Ian, Nick and all the team.
Tips:There is probably plenty to do-beach walks etc., - near to the hotel. However, Campbelltown is an interesting place to visit, and much more vibrant than I thought it might be. Linda McCartney Memorial Garden is especially interesting. Lots of nice shops, e.g. Coorie Doon Gift shop on the main street. Southend and Makrahanish are lovely places to visit. Lovely coastal scenery and beach walks.

We had a great weekend at the Argyll Hotel so dog friendly. They couldn’t have been anymore accommodating for us. My dog Sam had a great time meeting Nick & Ian’s Dalmatian’s Logan & Winter and running about the beautiful white sandy beach. The food was excellent, clean and friendly and to step out onto the terrace to a beautiful beach is why we choose to stay here. I would definitely recommend especially if you have a dog.
Tips:The hotel for one is where to eat the food was great and there is so much to see and do especially if you are a Paul McCartney fan visit Saddell Bay where his video was filmed for the song Mull in Kintyre. The cottage is still there but hidden amongst the trees. Also the lighthouse but while we were here it was closed to public so you couldn’t get down to it and to just the coast the beautiful white sandy beaches and turquoise waters like Westport beach just 10 mins along from hotel, Machrihanish, Southend, Dunaverty & the best place to go for a roll & sausage is The Larder, Campbeltown. When we visit again we are definitely going to take a boat trip over to Isle of Gigha and in low tide walk over to Isle of Davaar.

Tips:It is in a wonderful position next to a 2 mile long sandy beach. Another great beach Westport is near. You can get ferries to Islay and Gigha a few miles away. The Kintyre peninsula is delightful and unspoiled. Apart from Campbeltown it is very scarcely populated.

Ian, Nick and team plus dogs Logan and Winter made us feel very welcome. The room was a good size with a very comfy bed, loved that I could leave the window open all night listening to the sea. The food was tremendous with a really good selection of starters, mains and scrumptious desserts. We will be back and already recommended the place to our friends.

We have stayed previously at other hotel options in Campbeltown and Machrihanish and the Argyll is clearly the best local hotel.

Beautiful couple of days at Argyll Hotel Bellochantuy . An amazing escape created by the lovely Ian and Nick on the Argyll peninsula. Blown away by kindness and hospitality ! Fantastic ambience, food, scenery and company. Beautiful rooms, cool and laid back feel and an amazing staff team and service too. Nothing too much trouble for their guests. I felt really looked after as was struggling with dietary issues - all went out their way to ensure I had great food too. Dogs very welcome which is such a great feeling, to know that your furry friends can enjoy a great break too. They are well catered for with beach towels and bowls. Beach on your doorstep is fabulous and the sunsets are just spectacular from the terrace after dinner. Do check it out if you want to experience the Scottish Atlantic coast at its best in any season in an absolute home from home. So glad we made the journey at last - an easy drive from Edinburgh with a stop on the way for lunch at one of the lovely west coast havens. We will be back. Booked our next wee break already!
Tips:All you need is right there with great beaches and scenery all around. Campbeltown and Tarbert well worth visiting, with local distilleries and funky shops and cafes. Great walks for you and your dog. Don’t go anywhere else for dinner. Food is amazing !

This hotel is an absolute gem in a wee piece of paradise . The location is superb , the rear terrace overlooking the stunning beach is perfection. Nick is the perfect host and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The food is superb, our room was well decorated with a superb en suite which were both super clean. Our room was sea facing with a large door which opened fully for breathtaking views . We are not dog owners but thought having the owners dogs who are both beauties and perfectly behaved wandering around gave the hotel a real homely feel (they are not around at meal times which is also spot on) Do yourselves a favour folks if you are visiting Campbeltown or surrounding area give this place a look . You won’t be disappointed!!
Tips:We are pretty well travelled around Scotland over the years but didn’t venture to this area until last year . It really is stunning in parts so we would say just visit and enjoy the scenery. It has also got to be said that the locals here are the friendliest you will ever meet.

What a delight this hotel is, from the location, to the food and the staff, and more importantly the beautiful Dalmatians Logan and Winter. We stayed here in 2019 and they’ve had a refurbishment, the rooms are lovely and modern and so comfortable. You really feel like home from home, such a cosy and welcoming stay. All the guests are friendly and typically return each year. We were able to park our motorbikes at the back of the hotel which is always a comfort for security albeit the area is not an issue. The view of Islay and Jura is to die for, and if you’re lucky you’ll get a stunning sunset. Nick and Ian are delightful hosts and nothing is an issue. We will definitely be back next year and can see us returning year on year.

This is quite possibly the most dog-friendly hotel ever. I was travelling alone with my dog and received a very warm welcome from both of the managers. They provided a dog blanket, towel and informed me of safe places to walk the dog. The dog was also welcome to dine with me and everyone was very friendly. Both the waitress and bar woman referred to me by name and ensured I was comfortable. The hotel is in a stunning location with great access to the Isle of Gigha and Islay. I had a sea view room that was just idyllic. I would highly recommend the hotel and will stay again.

Location was brilliant. The room was very modern, nicely decorated and comfortable with a nice powerful shower. The attention to detail for guests was spot on, even down to a treat for our dog each day! We don’t normally eat in the hotels we are staying in but head to restaurants however, the food was excellent, piping hot and the view from the conservatory whilst dining was fantastic so we ate in on all 3 nights so we could work through the menu a bit. The owners and staff were all very pleasant and the service was excellent. The bar is well stocked with many different gins and whiskies, some quite unusual ones too. We had a very relaxing stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again
Tips:The cave painting on Davaar island is impressive but be aware, it is a scramble over boulders to get there. The beach at the front of the hotel is over a mile long and was deserted. Westport beach just along the road is excellent too. Campbeltown and Tarbert are worth visiting, a day trip to Gigha, Carradale Bay are recommended too. Take a trip to Southend where you are pretty close to Ireland and if there you have to go to the Muneroy tearoom, the list of cakes seemed endless which the waitress knew off heart and the slice of cake my wife had was massive but VERY light and delicious.

I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to the Kintyre area. The location is fabulous, just a few miles from Campbeltown. The views are breathtaking. I only wish I had been there for a leisure break, so that I could take a long walk on the beach. The hotel team are very friendly. I experienced a very warm welcome, which was lovely after a long day of travelling. Also, the hotel is dog friendly, a major plus in my book. I have already recommended to friends.
Tips:The food at the hotel is wonderful. The scenery in Kintyre is not to be missed. Check out the distilleries and take a visit to the local library for more information about the area. The staff there are friendly and very informative.

Once again i was warmly welcomed by Nick, Iain and Morag, who each in their own way and without being intrusive, made me feel like an honoured guest. There was really nothing which in any way fell short of perfect and although my stay this time was brief, i felt relaxed, refreshed and sustained when i left. The staff are particularly dog friendly and the entire hotel is a sea of tranquility despite the raging storm which may be brewing outside.
Tips:The Aryll Hotel in Bellochantuy is perfectly located to enable visitors to explore the entire Kintyre Penisula on which there a wide and variable range of activities to explore. From walking the kintyre Way, to touring the beautiful coastline, enjoying spectacular views and scenery and enjoying the many local visitor centres such as distilleries, golf courses and Heritage Centre. Make time to enjoy the hotel as well for nothing needs to be rushed. The rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable as are the lounges and open welcoming restaurant with the most magnificent views towards the waves on the shore.

Lovely hotel in a great location right by the beach. Really friendly owners that make you feel welcome. The dining room conservatory has wonderful sea views and the food very good. Beakfasts were wonderful. Rooms clean and comfortable, recently refurbished to a high standard. Lovely bar and plenty of areas to sit and relax. Proximity to the beach is a real plus!
Tips:We love how you can see so much of the sea on the Kintyre peninsula with the road running along side of it much of the way. You have views west to open sea, the islands and Ireland and the views east to Arran and the mainland. Southend has lovely beaches to walk along. It's worth the hike down to the lighthouse on the Mull of Kintyre, or at least half way to get the views. If you love the north west coast of Scotland, you'll love Kintyre just as much. It feels like being on a big island.

The moment we walked in the door we felt relaxed and welcome. Loved the lounge area and the bar and the artwork. And of course the view from the dining room of the beach and the sea and the islands was stunning. You must find guests linger too long over breakfast just staring out to sea! For the dog (and us) it was a joy stepping out onto the beach for walks. Thank you so much, and good luck with your next stage of renovations
Tips:My big tip would be to stay here and not judge the hotel by its exterior. You’ll expect something traditional and perhaps a little faded. But it’s not!! It’s trendy, relaxed, comfortable, everything a hotel should be

Tips:Take time to tour the area, and see many fine coastal views. The Nearby Garden Cafe Restaurant at Glenbarr village nearby is also a fine place for light snacks, coffee or lunch with some beautiful crafts and plants for sale. The Argyll Hotel is the perfect centre location from which to explore the entire Kintyre Penisula, including Machrihanish, Southend and Carradale before enjoying a fine choice of drinks in the bar or relaxing lounge. Your dog will simply love the beach walks.

Just returned home yesterday after 3 amazing nights at the Argyll Hotel Bellochantuy. It was the best short break I have ever had and can't wait to go back. The hotel has a lovely relaxed atmosphere in both the bar and lounge and the conservatory dining room is absolutely beautiful. We had a sea facing room which I would definitely recommend . You could open the first floor door which had a glass partition right outside but you are right on the beach and the sound of the waves from your bedroom is lovely. I don't know where to start about the food . We ate in the restaurant on 2 nights out the 3 and the meals were first class as was the breakfast each morning . The other residents we spoke to were also raving about the food. Please give this hotel a try I promise you won't be disappointed, the pictures don't do it justice you have to go and see it, I was blown away with the hotel and its location
Tips:So many beautiful beaches if you want to take a drive and we also took a day trip to the Isle of Gigha which I would recommend. Its only a 20 minute ferry trip from Tayinloan which is 9 miles from the hotel and you don't need the car as the island is so small

From arrival to leaving we were always met with a pleasant approach by Nick and the team of staff. The breakfasts were spot on with an array of choice to pick from. The evening meals catered for all, again spot on. If we are back up your way again we will stay with you again.
Tips:A tearoom not to be missed is MUNEROY tearoom at Southend, 20 -25 mins drive from the hotel but worth it, not only for the tearoom but there are also a few sites to see around that area. Campbeltown is only 10 miles down the road from the hotel to have a leisurely walk around and visit the Linda Mcartney memorial garden including a statue of her. Other places of interest are Mull of Kintyre Lighthouse, Skipness tearoom, Saddell carved stones, Killberry carved stones, Glen Barr tearoom and relax with a drink or few in the hotel beer garden or a walk along the beach. There are also numerous other things to do and see.

Extremely welcoming , and a truly dog friendly hotel in an idyllic location.
Tips:Short Ferry trip to Gigha with a visit to Achamore gardens recommended. Amelia’s cafe in Campbeltown - might not look like much from outside but dog friendly, nice coffee and the best scones we’ve ever had. If travelling with dogs, not too many dog friendly places around Campbeltown. Book ahead for dinners etc. Ardshiel Hotel was good for alternative adinner (bar only)

Highly recommend this hotel. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely terrace leading into the beach where you can sit and relax, watch the sun go down over Islay in the distance. Although my room was at the front of the hotel is was very quiet and the bed was very comfortable I slept really well. Breakfast was excellent.
Tips:During my stay I visited Davaar Island, you need to check the tides though to make sure it's safe to walk across the shingle causeway. The Mull of Kintyre lighthouse was a nice walk too it is a very steep walk! Lastly we took a boat trip across to Gigha where you can visit the beautiful gardens, chill on lovely white sands. The Boathouse restaurant serves some wonderful fish dishes, it's advisable to book in advance as it very popular.

Usually I refuse to leave reviews but was so impressed with the Argyll, here you are! I liked my room, the food and friendliness / helpfulness of the staff. This was supposed to be a treat for me - On a cycle tour of Arran and Kintyre and I stayed in hostels the rest of the time. It truly was a treat. Staff let me stay warm and dry in the lounge with excellent coffee until rain showers passed and I set off for Campbeltown
Tips:Springbank distillery are friendly and will let you taste their excellent whisky for free if you ask nicely. Cambeltown is much more pleasant than many Scottish port towns. Davaar island is interesting - can walk if you get the tide right. Machrahinish is a nice place to while away an hour or 2. Continue beyond the end of the road to the bird observatory - Quirky, but a great viewpoint

Wonderful stay in a beautiful location right on a sandy beach with views across to Islay. Owner and staff couldn't have been more helpful and the service and food was excellent. The only issue for us was the lack of storage and hanging space for a stay of more than a few nights. But everything else was first class and definitely made up for this small inconvenience.
Tips:Spectacular coastline and a visit to the beautiful island of Gigha is well worth it.

Our stay with you was excellent, we can't think of anything that could have made it any better! The room was clean, bright and up to date, the en-suite was spacious, bright and clean. The breakfast was amazing and the 3 course dinner we had with you on the second night was delicious, very high quality food. The restaurant area itself is also very modern, clean and the view is amazing! The team were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was relaxed. We will definitely be staying with you again in the future :)
Tips:The food at the restaurant in the hotel is excellent so if the weather is not great or you don't want to travel at night this is a great option. The beach in low tide has a shallow area further up from the hotel which is good for rock pool exploring for crabs and small fish! Also lots of sea birds we have not seen before so remember your binoculars! There is a lovely tearoom called Drumfearne tearoom in Carradale around 25 miles away which you pass through the nearest larger town Campbeltown for, which has a small Tesco for anything you might need.

An exceptionally pleasant stay .Unintrusive staff mixed with huge friendliness and style. Individualistic touches and artistic hints of cosmopolitan eclectic decor were really nice to experience (for example, as one approaches the large restauraunt) The owners. Ian and Nick at the helm, very hands on, considerate and professional. The well thought out food menus were a delight not just to eat but to savour the visual culinary artistry. "The Team" looked after us well. Very clean all round with Covid safety precautions all there too. Very dog friendly. As yet there seem not to be any Fire instructions in the rooms to indicate what to do. Luckily there is only an upstairs to have to negotiate. A labour of love ongoing structurally- but not intrusive. All round, highly recommended.
Tips:Beautiful beaches for walkers.

This hotel is a total gem. Located directly on the beach, the views across to Gigha, Islay and Jura are stunning. The room facilities are really thoughtfully provided - the temperature, bathroom fittings, water pressure, smart tv, comfy bed, proper hairdryer, tea selection, and the views from the window all make for a really relaxing stay. The bar and restaurant are great with seating outside and in the conservatory with more of those beautiful views to enjoy while you eat. Ian's food is really delicious and the breakfast is worth writing home about. Nick, Ian and the team are incredibly friendly and helpful. They'll make you feel really welcome and relaxed from when you first arrive and are always around to help you enjoy your holiday, offering great local knowledge and tips.
Tips:During our stay we enjoyed a few activities: A trip to Gigha - a beautiful island easily reached by ferry from nearby Tayinloan. Lunch at The BoatHouse and a walk to Achamore Gardens (and beyond) is a lovely way to spend the day. A visit to Mull of Kintyre and Southend - we drove to the car park for the Mull of Kyntyre Lighthouse and then walked down. After the steep walk back up we drove to nearby Southend and bought tea and (fantastic) cake from Muneroy Tearoom and enjoyed a walk along the beach path, with views of the Ailsa Craig. Kayaking at West Loch Tarbert - we prebooked a morning kayaking session with Dave at Kayak Majik. Being out on the water was a great experience and Dave is an experienced and diligent tutor, with lots of expert local knowledge. A visit to Skipness - We parked at the Seafood Cabin and enjoyed a delicious lunch, followed by an explore of the castle. The beach looks over the short distance to Arran and a stroll from the castle brings you to the old chapel where you can find medieval grave stones. During our three night stay, we enjoyed a meal at the hotel for two nights. For the other night we ate a picnic on the beach, watching the sunset from the sand.

This is a laid back hotel without a jot of pretentiousness so much so you’ll likely end up chatting to other guests in the dining area and making friends. The number of repeat guests tells you everything you need to know.
Tips:Stunning drive to Mull of Kintyre with incredible views. You may need a head for heights on the single track, alpine style road.

Enjoyed a fabulous 3 days with Nick Ian and staff. Nothing was too much for Nick and his staff and I have to mention Ian who produced the most wonderful breakfasts and variety of main meals. my wife is gluten intolerant and vegan so all I can say challenge met, and my wife was was so pleased with choice and variety. I was slightly reluctant to provide a review fearing that the more people that discover this hidden gem the more difficult it will be to re book. However this would be unfair to the wonderful team who deserve the recognition. See you all soon Patrick and Elaine Porteous

We had a wonderful stay. Nick and Iain did everything possible to make our stay perfect,even giving us a flask of coffee to take out on a cold day. The hotel position must surely be one of Scotland's best, sitting right on the perfect beach of Bellochantuy with amazing sunsets over Islay and Jura to accompany excellent food and drink selections. Our dog was made so welcome in every area of the hotel, with a rug and towel provided for her in our room along with a lovely dog treat each day. We simply cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. We will be back soon.
Tips:Walking the Kintyre way or parts of it would definitely be a recommendation with its stunning views. Skipness Castle is beautiful especially at Easter with its lambs and daffodils. A trip to Gigha is well worthwhile, and there are so many beautiful beaches to visit including West Port, Seal Point and A Cleitch. Tarbert and Campbeltown are lovely towns to visit and the garden centre and cafe at Glenbarr is well worth a visit. The drive down the other side of Kintyre is stunning overlooking Arran, and now includes a gin distillery to visit. I could go on! We truly love this part of the world.

I was advised to stay overnight at the Argyll Hotel because it was known to be “dog-friendly!” This proved to be 100% correct and the welcome, facilities and attitude of staff far exceeded my wildest expectations! I arrived late (after midnight) but found everything had been put in place with a warm welcome, clear instructions and wonderful room, beautifully furnished and comfortable, with every comfort given consideration for both myself and my canine companion. Thank you!
Tips:The warm welcome of all staff was exemplary matching the comfort and warmth of the room. Breakfast included a full range of options and the outstanding views of the Atlantic Breakers on the shore from my table are really something very special. With immediate access to a wonderful beach, this hotel is cell placed as a destination 20 minutes south of Tarbert and enabling visitors to explore many of the wonderful facilities and places of interest throughout the Kintyre peninsula. A great place to relax in and to serve as a base for touring.

The food is superb, breakfasts and dinners both have great options and very generous portions. The addition of two Dalmation pups to welcome you and your furbabies into the hotel is wonderful. Highly recommend.
Tips:Highly recommend the food in the hotel, wonderful. Being right on the beach is fantastic for dog walkers. Five miles away is the awesome Westport beach where there will usually be surfers of some sort enjoying the huge breakers. Campbeltown has some lovely little unique shops. Views are wonderful. To the north, theres Tarbert & Kilberry. Just a lovely part of the world to relax and enjoy.

This was (I think) our fourth stay at the Argyll and, just before Christmas, the first time in winter. We had a marvelous time as always, though there was no swimming in the sea during this particular stay! Despite the time of year and the dreaded Omicron growing, meaning that the hotel was very quiet, we were treated very well as always by Nick, Ian and their staff. We ate our main meal there every night and were never disappointed. Breakfasts are delicious too. We had a lovely room at the front with a sea view and since our last visit all bedrooms have been very nicely refurbished and look splendid. Finally the two ladies serving our breakfast on the morning of my wife’s birthday were gracious enough to accept my request to sing happy birthday as they came to take our order. Thank you all. Have a good break, stay well and we hope to see you again soon.

Having had two Argyll Hotel breakfasts, I’d rate them the best of any I’ve had in a UK hotel. Thanks Ian, Nick and team!

My stay was perfect and it's an easy decision to say I'll return. It's the only hotel where I've felt sorry to leave for home. Thank you all for a great time..
Tips:Visit Westport beach, stunning, make sure to check out Muneroy Stores and tea room. The cakes are out of this world. Also Glen Barr Stores and café is highly recommended. These places are dog friendly too so that's a bonus. But make sure you dine in at the Argyll, you won't be disappointed!!

Good to find the owners actually engage with guests and make every effort to accommodate the individual’s needs.

We came here in June this year and enjoyed it so much we came again for 4 days in October. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, the food is excellent with a good variety of meals. Our room with a view to the sea was lovely and being so near to the beach it is a doggy paradise.
Tips:We have 2 dogs and so love the number of beaches in the area. There are forest walks too. Campbeltown, Carradale and the Mull (in good weather) are all worth a visit and have interesting histories. Tarbert too has some craft shops with the Loch Fyne Gallery worth going into. We haven't been to Gigha for many years but in May I believe the Achamore gardens are lovely.

What a lovely warm welcome we received from Ian, Nick and the team! We knew the weather was likely to not be at its best for the time of year but, despite a few drizzles outside, the warmth and kindness of the staff, along with the lovely views, even in the rain, our stay was wonderful. We dined both evenings at the hotel and were not disappointed with the offerings and our choices. The teen and tween in tow were happy to have access to wifi in the evenings too which left us able to enjoy a drink in the bar, soak up the atmosphere and meet some of the friendly locals. All in all it was a fabulous experience and we look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you all, Gemma, Eddie, Seth & Amelia
Tips:We only had one full day to explore but made the most of it. We drove to Campbeltown and on to the Mull of Kintyre. We walked down to the lighthouse at the end of the road, quite a steep descent and ascent so be prepared for the walk back up the hill at the end. The views over to Northern Ireland, even with cloud, were spectacular! I'd love to see it on a sunny day too! We also walked over to Davaar Island from Campbeltown when the tide allowed and it was lovely to see the Crucifixion painting in the cave. Be prepared to walk over some slippery rocks but keep close to the land, take your time and you'll be fine. There were a few beaches between the Mull of Kintyre and Campbeltown that were just gorgeous, stopped for a quick look along the way and on sunny days would make a great day out and a lovely dip in the sea for those inclined to do it! So much more to see than we had time for, we'll just have to come again!

This is a well managed cosy hotel in an outstanding location. It punches well above it's weight, providing excellent friendly service overall & high quality, good value dining. Many of the guests were obviously regulars - which is the best recommendation you can get - & we too will be coming back. It also lives up to it's "dog friendly" claim.

The décor and ambience contributed to a relaxing stay...congratulations on your tasteful styling!. Its obvious that a great deal of hard work and thought has gone into this lovely hotel!
Tips:This is the best restaurant in the area! Lots of lovely beaches in the area. A potter around Campbeltown is a nice thing to do, as is a visit to Southend and Machrihanish. A return tichet for the ferry over to Gigha is only £5.60

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Argyll Hotel. The breakfast menu was inventive with unusual dishes as well as the traditional cooked breakfast and wonderful home-made jams and marmalades. We ate in the hotel both evenings and every single dish was a joy to eat. The Cullen Skink soup was especially delightful.

This was our 3rd visit this year and every bit as enjoyable. The hosts Nick and Ian together with their amazing team made our stay totally relaxing.The location is perfect. Our 2 dogs are made to feel just as welcome as we are which is a major attraction for us.There is a lot of repeat guests which in itself is a great recommendation. Lovely food locally sourced and served in restaurant with spectacular views over to Jura and Islay , stunning location.
Tips:Campbeltown is a short 15 minute drive. Great beaches at West port, Southend all dog friendly.We drove to Skipness Castle and popped into the smokery which is well worth a visit for seafood lovers. Lighthouse at Mull of kintyre is a nice drive, again with spectacular views.

Just back from a lovely break, at the Argyll Hotel, it’s so good we’ve been here twice this year, the setting on the beach is amazing - and even if the weathers cold or dreary you can be guaranteed a warm welcome great hospitality and fabulous food, special shout-out to Ian and Nick who have put their heart and sole into the place and it show’s
Tips:The Springbank Distillery whisky tour is a must if your in the Campbeltown area, really informative and brilliant value for money - and coffee and delicious home made cake in the Harlequin cafe was a good find. If it’s a clear day Southend beach is worth a visit and The Mull of Kintyre lighthouse is a must as long as you don’t mind a scary drive and a long steep walk, for a beach walk it’s got to be Westport beach or Bellochantuy beach to stretch your legs

Tips:We had a day in Campbeltown where we had a lovely meal in The Royal Hotel. Lovely we shops to browse. Shops shut on Sunday though. Had a lovely day in Maicharanish and drove to The Mull of Kintyre Lighthouse - be prepared for a long walk, but worth the views.

A welcoming hotel overlooking the beach with stunning sea views. Ian and Nick are excellent hosts and have clearly transformed the place. Eclectic, stylish decor with good artwork. Comfortable room with well designed small en-suite. Good food generally with an impressive array of interesting soft drinks in addition to those of the alcoholic variety. My mussels were delicious as was our cooked breakfast. The feta and chestnut bake was less appealing - maybe a poor choice on my part.

What an absolute gem of a place this is. Ian and Nick are so welcoming and are the absolute best hosts. We had a sea view room, and we could hear the sea when we woke each morning.

We had gorgeous hot weather, but know that we may not be that lucky again. It won’t stop us though…we’ll definitely be back. We loved it ! Thanks Ian and Nick. You’re both fab.

Allan and i had a wonderful stay it was exactly what we needed. The room was lovely and had fantastic views of the beach. We felt very safe during our visit all Covid procedures were in place. The staff who served our breakfast, dinner and cleaned our room were so friendly and nothing was a problem for them to make our stay more pleasant.Please say a big thank you from us. The food was absolutely delicious lots of choice from the menu. Nick and Ian were the perfect hosts making us feel so welcome. Thank you I’m looking forward to my next visit in September. This Hotel is amazing but it only works because of the lovely people who work there.

The Hosts Ian and Nick together with their fantastic team make everyone feel so welcome from start to finish. Food was fantastic , lots of fresh locally sourced produce. Covid guidelines followed which made us all feel safe and secure. Our 2 dogs loved their stay the hotel is so dog friendly ❤ We enjoyed our stay so much we tried to extend it but the hotel was fully booked. We are looking forward to our next visit at the end of September

A true Jewell in the Crown !! We booked this hotel, because it was central to our travel plans around the area. In reality, if I had relaised that this place was as good as it was, I would have stayed all week. I am lost for words about this place. A spotless, modern hotel inside a traditional guest house setting. All of the most modern facilities, in a homely and pleasant surrounding. Perfect, just perfect. Food was excellent with a selection of modern takes on classic meals plus specially designed and seasonal offerings. Fantastic food and plentiful. Now onto the rooms, modern style, tastefully decorated, everything you need plus views of either the sea or mountains. Location: Nothing to say here except for perfect. The views across the white, sandy beach to Islay and Jura are truly spectacular and then when sunset arrives .... BOOM! The hosts, Ian and Nick are beautifully attentive and are obviously proud of their hotel. They should be, it is amazing and I for one, will return shortly, but for a much longer stay.
Tips:The view is all you need to see. The view across the bay to Islay an Jura is just amazing. Dog friendly with a large beach and local walks for exercise. Centrally located in Kintyre, close to Tarbet and Cambletown. The carribean in Scotland .... nothing further to add.

Real gem of a hotel sitting on a lovely white sand beach. The beach terrace is a great outdoor space to relax. Takes dog friendly to a new level. The blanket, towel and treat left in the room for Josh my Westie was really thoughtful along with all the attention he got. I couldn’t have had a better holiday.

This was my second visit to this hotel. The owners Ian & Nick make fantastic host's and their team of staff look after you so well and very efficiently. The hotel has only 9 bedrooms so it is often difficult to get a room if you suddenly feel like a break away! Once here with the setting right on the beach you are automatically relaxed and get the benefit of sitting outside with a leisurely drink of having something to eat in the conservatory looking out to sea and the islands. The hard part for me was leaving after 4 days and wished I was there for longer! All I can say to anyone staying there for a day or two or longer you will not be disappointed and you certainly will never be hungry as all the perfectly made meals are freshly made and delicious. This hotel is also dog friendly so your best friend need not miss out!
Tips:Life in the Mull of Kintyre is set at a slower pace. The only negative thing for me is tht amount of driving every day to go places and the fact that the road system on the peninsula means that you are often on the same bit of road every time you go out in the car with a few exceptions. So saying there are lovely places to go, Southend, Campbeltown and Machrihanish at the southernmost end or up to Tayaloan for a ferry across to see Ghia for the day. Lovely walks and if you brought your dog with you then the beaches are fantastic to walk along and you could even go in swimming.

Warm welcome back to Argyll Hotel on a glorious sunny afternoon. Stayed in a bright modern room with a lovely side view of the beach and a big comfortable bed. After a long sandy walk and paddle enjoyed a fruity local gin on the terrace with stunning views over the sea and later , after a lovely dinner , watched the amazing sunset.
Tips:Cannot beat this location! Right on the beach .Would be lovely even on a wild winters day . Drive down this side of peninsula has beautiful sea and island views then drive up the other side with narrow twisting roads but also lovely wee fishing villages , forests and beaches. Kintyre Gin distillery is a beautiful spot to stop . Very modern facilities with a nice cafe with inside and outside seating and good coffee. Also visited Gigha for afternoon and had seafood lunch in the lovely Boathouse ( must book ahead ) . So loads to do and see . Well worth a trip !

Magical stay for the four of us. Location, food and friendly and outstanding personal service from the staff. From sitting on the beachside sunny terrace to walks along the miles long sandy beach to the wide menu (we ate meat, fish, vegetarian and vegan between us!) and range of local drink choices (gin, whisky, beer and wine) we felt that it was a little piece of heaven. Could rave on about even the smaller things like the gorgeous home made jam but it is Ian and Nick who are the reason that this is an idyllic retreat and place that we will all return to!
Tips:Set on a quiet bay with stunning views of Islay, Jura and Gigha this is a good location to visit local highlights. A trip on the ferry over to Gigha is a must.

When I arrived on a damp misty day, this looked a little old hotel from a distance; when I went in, it was a magical place, a lovely conservatory room with armchairs and tables to sit and enjoy a drink, and tables for eating in the window looking out over the gorgeous beach, the Atlantic Ocean, and (when the weather was better) views to Islay and Jura. The bedroom was well equipped and comfortable and had this view too. What makes it special, though, is the welcome and the lovely warm atmosphere created by Ian, Nick and the rest of the staff. Their food is brilliant and generous portions, and it is great value for money. I want to come back here next year, stay for longer and go to the islands!
Tips:The Kintyre peninsula has a remoteness and beauty and a special feel to it that totally captivated me! Walk on Bellochantuy and Westport beaches, take your binoculars, enjoy the company of very few people but masses of seabirds like sandpipers, oystercatchers, cormorants and gulls.Sunset seen from this beach is amazing. Spend some time in Campbeltown by the fishing harbour, sample the food and drink shops full of local produce, and take the coast road to wards the island of Davaar and beyond. Further afield Tarbert is a nice place and Loch Fyne very pretty. The views on the coast road on the West of the Kinytre peninsula going North from Campbeltown are fantastic.

Nick and Ian are a great team. The hotel is well run and they make it a calm and relaxing place to stay over. We truly felt very relaxed and at home in your hotel. The food was very good and Ian is very knowledgable about food allergies which was a great help for me as I can find eating out difficult at times. Sitting on the terrace with a drink in hand and looking out at the sea and the white sand was a real treat.
Tips:We loved Kintyre. It does have the feel of an island we felt far away from home (which was just what we needed when travel abroad is so restricted this year). We drove around mainly just stopping off at various bays. We enjoyed Saddell Bay with its Antony Gormley structure. We did a gin tour at the Beinn an Turc Distillery which is nearby and enjoyed that. We visited Southend and loved the remoteness. Cake freshly baked at the tearoom is a must. Husband said it was his best cake ever. We went to Campbeltown and walk across the causeway to Davaar island. The lushness of the countryside and proximity to sea is really what we couldn’t get enough of. We spent 3 nights in Arran and then got the ferry over to Kintyre. We worried a little about the journey home driving north through Kintyre before travelling south to North Yorkshire. However the drive was amazing and very much part of the holiday. We would do it again.

Nick and Ian are the most welcoming hosts ever. Booking in was quick and personal. Rooms comfortable with fantastic showers which was very welcome after a long day travelling. Views from dining room are just stunning with seating outside on terrace reserved for guests only - nice touch. Ate in house and have to say it was some of the best food in a long time. This place is a work in progress and it will be an absolute gem when these guys have finished with it. Don’t be put off by the view of the premises from the road!

Kintyre was at its best for my 2 days at the argyll hotel and I was anticipating an enjoyable mini break . I was not disappointed. I was warmly welcomed when I arrived and shown promptly to my ground floor room which had been recently upgraded. Simple decor and modern en-suite with excellent shower . I was immediately aware that hosts , Ian and Nick, where rigorous in adhering to the covid protection guidelines and felt reassured that everything was being done to keep guests safe . After exploring the beautiful beach directly in front of the hotel I sat out on the terrace and sampled a gin and tonic from the extensive list of gins in stock. I really have to return to try then all! I recommend the Lussa gin. Dinner was delicious -hake in a light herb sauce with perfectly cooked vegetables . The day ended with an amazing sunset which guests can admire from the dining room or terrace . Breakfasts on both days were well cooked and presented. I had creamy porridge followed by a muffin topped with beautiful scrambled eggs on day 1 and the highlight on day 2 was the vegetarian haggis with fried eggs and mushrooms . Vegetarians / vegans can be assured that there are plenty of choices they can enjoy . I would say that if you considering a stay you can book with confidence and be assured of a clean and comfortable environment, a warm welcome and a relaxing stay in an area of outstanding natural beauty . Thank you Ian and Nick and hope to see you again soon.
Tips:Make sure you have your camera and a fully charged phone as you will want to take a great many photos . A trip to the island if Gigha makes a lovely day out. You will pass the ferry terminal at Tayinloan on the way down Kintyre .

The score on the Hotel criteria is all 5/5 ie 100%. But there is more to this hotel than that. It's a hidden gem and we have already recommended it to our friends. Nothing is too much trouble, all you need do is ask. Reasonable prices and a hotel on an empty beach facing West so you can watch the sunset whilst eating a great dinner! What else would you want?

We had an absolutely fantastic break, visiting the Argyll Hotel for the weekend. The location is perfect, it has such a rural feel and is right on the beach - what more could you ask for?! We were so comfortable at the hotel, as were our two dogs. It was their first holiday with us so I was a little apprehensive but the relaxed setting meant they loved their trip. All staff were extremely friendly and kind to both us and the dogs which was so lovely. Ian, Nick and all other staff members were great. Everyone was very chatty and helpful. We dined in both evenings and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. There was a great selection on the menu and great specials too. The drinks selections was excellent and we liked being able to try some local gins! Everything was excellent value for money. The room was cosy and comfortable, with everything you would need. The shower was fab - which is always a plus! We would love to come back, and will no doubt! It is so nice to know there is somewhere so great to take the dogs while on holiday.
Tips:We made the most of the great weather and visited Gigha on the Saturday. We left the car on the mainland and just went on as foot passengers. It only cost around £11-£12 so very reasonable. It was a nice adventure! We had lunch at The Boathouse and then did a walk we had found on the Walkhighlands website. It allowed us to get great views from the highest point of Gigha over to Isla, Jura and back to the mainland. I would recommend a trip over to Gigha, it was a great way to spend an afternoon. The beaches are lovely. On the Sunday morning, we took a five minute drive down to Westport Beach. The weather had taken a turn but it didn't make the walk unpleasant. Westport beach a is wide, long beach, so plenty of room for people and dogs running around. There is so much we wish to explore, and will do on our next trip :-) Thank you for having us, Lauren, Dan, Biscuit and Paddington

Absolutely fabulous in every way! Loved the hotel so much I actually booked another stay before I’d even gone to bed the first night... The hotel is lovely, location is amazing staff very accommodating, however the overwhelming thing for me is the atmosphere - it’s pretty special, there’s no formula for that but these guys have got it nailed. The food is gorgeous with fresh seafood from Tarbert and a great variety on the menu. I am so looking forward to my return.
Tips:Loads to do in this fabulous part of the world, Kintyre has a wild beauty and is also full of tranquility. Beaches are plentiful unspoilt clean and quiet. ( May ‘21 just as lockdown was easing) and it felt like the whole of the UK were heading North. Mull of Kintyre lighthouse is dramatic and worth a visit. Various gardens, Carradale bay in the East side of the Peninsula loads of excellent walking, the list goes on. You’ll love Kintyre.

Well done, you 2 and team!

Sorry but its a cliche or two- very helpful and friendly staff team, good fit for the hotel, rooms complete after refit, great coffee from top machine, food well cooked and tasty, breakfast a huge success with good choices. The location is second to none beach view and access speaking! Splendid. It's a dog friendly hotel, dog owners really appreciated the tone etc and I think behaved accordingly. Dogs too! Great stay.
Tips:Carradale, Saddell, Cambletown - distilleries in each - trip to The Mull, Southend, golf courses at Carradale, Southend and Machrihanish and 'Dunes'. World famous cake shop at Southend, book ahead for table, carry away possible for car sitting.Go to see Machrihanish golf course good bar restaurant there, wonderful beach.Cambletown is interesting with a few small shops and a good walk to the island.

Stayed here a single night whilst on business. It's in a fabulous location just a stride from a soft sandy beach. Very warm and friendly welcome. Cosy clean and modern room with a view out over the beach to the sea. Enjoyed an ample and flavoursome evening meal in the conservatory style dining room which again has panoramic views of the sea. Comfy bed facing the window and view, and with the window open, I like fresh air, it was great falling asleep to the sound of lapping waves. The following morning the view was enhanced with by bright March sunshine and after a hot shower and bracing beach walk had a hearty full Scottish breakfast. Couldn't ask for more! When lockdown is over will definitely return with the family.
Tips:Only here the one night so didn't have time to explore but the coastal road from the hotel to Campbeltown has a wild beauty. Lots to explore here so can't wait to get back.

Yet another winner of a trip to The Argyll Hotel. It really is a blissfully peaceful place to stay. We started every morning with a walk along the beach before tucking in to Ian’s spectacular breakfast choices. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu but Ian’s green eggs are a treat. We even got to sample some home mad jam that was so fresh it was still warm. Location and food are two very good reasons to visit but the friendly welcome and hospitality throughout our whole visit is definitely what makes us come back. You feel like the staff can’t do enough for you, nothing is a problem and it is all delivered with genuine smiles and warmth. Covid protocols were clear and we felt safe and protected. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you to Ian, Nick and their Bellochantuy Team, especially Talla and her waggy tail.
Tips:The beaches are beautiful. A trip to Southend to sample some of Francis’s cakes at Muneroy Store is well worth the trip.

We stayed with you a couple of years ago when I took my three sisters on a tour and have wanted to come back ever since. I'm pleased to say our second stay was even better than the first, as the rooms have all been refurbished and the menu choice (especially for vegans/vegetarians) had increased from last time. Food, hospitality and comfort were all excellent.
Tips:The Springbank distillery tour (which we did on our first visit) is the best we've done, Machrihanish Dunes makes for a lovely walk, Campbeltown is interesting as is the Mull of Kintyre, Saddell Castle and Abbey, including the Gormley statue on Saddell Bay, all well worth a visit.

Stayed for a weekend with my husband & 10 year old son. Hotel was lovely, our room was of a high standard, clean and modern furnishings. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Food was delicious and we enjoyed sitting on the beach front terrace with stunning views and walks along the beach too. Nick and Ian were great hosts. Definitely will stay at this hotel again!
Tips:We drove a lot around the peninsula to take in the stunning views and the countryside. We drove down to the Mull of Kinture lighthouse to look over to Northern Ireland and spotted some local deer on the way! We visited the beautiful sands of Westport beach (5min drive away) which has huge sand dunes for kids to slide down (take a body board to slide on!). Kintyre Gin distillery was around 35 minutes away, which was a nice stop to sample and pick up a bottle of the various gins on offer.

A very friendly relaxing hotel in a superb location right on the beach. Tastefully decorated comfortable rooms with everything you need. Food was great with a good selection to choose from. Very dog friendly with blankets, towels and treats supplied and great for walks on the beach. We stayed during Covid restrictions but this wasn’t an issue as all measures were in place. The hotel is small so doesn’t feel busy and staff are happy to suggest places to visit..
Tips:We were happy to relax in the hotel with such lovely views over to Islay and Jura and wonderful sunsets. Skipness Castle and seafood shack definitely worth a visit and some good drives on single track roads if you enjoy country driving. GlenBarr garden centre and tearoom is nice and lots of seals to be spotted around the shore at Southend.

From booking, to arrival and our stay the staff could not have been more helpful. We booked direct and our stay included breakfast, which was the best freshest Full Scottish Breakfast we’d had anywhere. The evening before we had gone for the three course meal which again was lovely. The hotel faces the beach and gave great views of Islay and Jura as the sun went down. We travelled with our seven month old cocker spaniel and this is a truly dog friendly hotel with a towel, blanket and chews provided in the room. We highly recommend this hotel and will return. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

The Argyll provides superb accomodation. We had a sea view room , with a big window looking straight out to sea. We could drift off to sleep to the sound of the waves breaking and wake up to oyster catchers piping on the shore. Wonderful! Very clean and nicely decorated public areas too, all recently refurbished and the large conservatory restaurant provides a wonderful place to enjoy the excellent food while watching the waves outside and the sun setting on a clear horizon. We enjoyed several pints of real ale out on the patio as the weather was warm and sunny, and if you like beach walks, the beach is on your doorstep here. The attention to detail for cleanliness was excellent, and the staff very careful to follow the strict Covid guidelines. Service was excellent with Nick and Ian both ready to chat and advise on any places to visit. The menu was very extensive and satisfied both the vegetarian and the carnivores in our party of four. We stayed 3 nights and thought the meals were excellent and really good value. The cajun spiced haggis balls starter was exceptionally good and I had it 3 nights in a row! And the "Green eggs" veggie breakfast was another star. Oh and Ian's home-made jams and marmalade too. We will be back again!
Tips:The Argyll is a fairly long way from anywhere else, so take advantage of their excellent food and beers and don't think of eating anywhere else! Very handy for the Gigha ferry at Tayinloan, 20 min by car, and the huge beach at Westport just 10 min the other way.

We loved our stay here, so relaxing in a fabulous location. Hope to come again! Friendly service in a spotless hotel. Despite Covid we really felt at ease. The outside terrace was amazing...we were so lucky with the weather.
Tips:A trip to Gigha, a beautiful and peaceful place. Sadly the gardens were a bit neglected due to Covid. The Boathouse Restaurant on Gigha is in a fantastic spot, but do book if you want to eat there! Westport Beach is stunning and we were lucky it was so quiet. Also loved Saddle Bay and the abbey remains and stones were interesting.

I couldn't fault our stay here. The location, right next to a lovely expanse of beach, is stunning. Our room was tastefully decorated and the view from the Juliet balcony was sublime. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was excellent. What more could one ask for?
Tips:A visit to the Island of Gigha is a must. It is only a 20 minute ferry journey from Tayinloan. Achamore gardens on the island are worth a visit.

A very enjoyable short break, made welcome from start to finish. A character hotel situated right on the beachfront. A modern room with all the required amenities. Stunning conservatory for meals & breakfasts with a large patio outside leading onto the White sands beach. Laid back, relaxed atmosphere, great food and drink, served by attentive & pleasent staff. A wonderful stay.
Tips:Enjoy the hotel with its own facilities & beach, but also take the time to visit the Isle of Gigha for tranquility & great food at the boathouse. Machrihanish beach & dunes, Campbeltown for a bit of buzz, the surrounding countryside and a long drive out to the Mull of Kintyre lighthouse for atmospheric feel & views. Nearby Glenbar village. Walking the Largie Estate at nearby tayinloan. Lots to see all around

The location is superb; right on the beach and within easy reach of other beautiful areas to explore. Sunset views from the terrace were spectacular.

Absolutely first rate. I have stayed in 5 star Hotels that did not give your level of service. Great attention to detail and the fact that you all take time to know your guests is very impressive
Tips:The food at the hotel is wonderful and due to local limitations due to the covid 19 virus we found it easier to eat at the hotel. The food is all fresh, local and importantly to us is prepared when ordered not sat in a hot plate. The local area has some amazing beaches and to be honest there is something for everyone nearby. What was important for us was the fact the hotel is Doggy friendly and they really made our dog and everyones very welcome, even left doggy chews in the room for their 4 legged guests. Nice touch.

A return visit to a favourite place. In light of the Covid 19 restrictions, numbers of diners and visitors are reduced and the place is very safe and relaxed - a difficult balance to achieve. We were in one of the refurbished rooms, which was beautiful and also spacious. We will be back soon.
Tips:Beaches, beaches, beaches! Bellochantuy, Westport, Dunaverty (via Muneroys for cake), Carskiey (also via Muneroys for cake), Machrihanish (via the Old Club House for lunch and Wifi).

This was my third visit to the Argyll Hotel and once again it did not disappoint! The owners and staff are very welcoming and friendly. Even with the new restrictions in place, they managed to observe distancing but remain chatty and friendly.
Tips:There are several lovely beaches not far away, including Westpont, Southend and Macrihanish. In Campbeltown be sure to visit Linda McCartney's memorial garden, with its beautiful flower beds and statue of Linda. Also in Campbeltown is a lovely art deco cinema with a cafe. Even if it is closed due to the lockdown, it is worth a look.

Nothing was too much bother for Ian, Nick and their helpful team, the attention to detail speaks for itself. If you like dogs this is a great place to be welcomed. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Food was excellent with good presentation and huge portions. Breakfast here really does set you up for the day (compliments to the chef for the porridge). Loved that brekkie was made to order. Room was lovely and spotlessly clean. Two chairs in the room was an added bonus. Couldn't sit in the terrace due to the weather when we arrived but would be lovely on a nice day sitting outside with a drink, taking in that view. Superb visit and will use again."

The staff is friendly, the location is lovely. If you want to get away from all noisy and busy city-life - the right place to be.. When the weather is nice you could walk along the coast, climbing and enjoying the landscape and the fresh clean air. If there is really bad weather you can stay inside and play billiard or sit in one of the cosy corners of the dining room reading a book or a newspaper, with the panoramic view of the entire beach in front of you.
Tips:The room is clean, comfortable, warm (carpet on the floor, very good heating). The only thing you have to take with you is your toothbrush and toothpaste - everything else is there. Hairdryer and even a curling iron. Bathroom is new, with towel-heater. Enough plugs, a TV and WiFi for free. The food is delicious. The portions are big. The price-performance ratio is superlative. The "entertainment" or "event" is the exclusive and authentic place itself.

The team work together to ensure all things are taken care of. I like when team members 'anticipate' what is required, you all seem to do that well. the scale of the operation, relatively small suits me fine, great setting too. Thanks to all! I return regularly, back soon.
Tips:Chill out on the beach, support the cinema in town, the whole of Kintyre is worth a couple days exploring - West Port, Machrihanish, Southend, Carradale. Back to hotel and chill out again.

Very warm welcome from Nick and Ian at this lovely hotel especially for our dog Bonnie - they provide a blanket and towel for dogs which is a nice touch. Our evening meal was lovely and the breakfast was the best one of our whole holiday (never tasted scrambled eggs like it!) Our room was spacious and recently refurbished so very modern and everything works.
Tips:We did the drive down the east coast of Kintyre from Claonaig to Campbeltown which was very pretty. Unfortunately the weather was dreadful, non stop pouring rain so we didn’t see much of the Mull of Kintyre due to the mist.

Don't miss Westport Beach, midway between the hotel and Campbeltown. A Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), with rolling dunes, magnificent sands and breaking Atlantic waves. The Campbeltown Picture House dates from 1913 and is the oldest continuously running cinema in Scotland. Grade 'A' listed, it has an art nouveau exterior, an 'atmospheric' interior, and has been wonderfully restored with the addition of a second screen built on open ground at the rear. If the film programme on the day doesn't appeal, there are occasional free tours. There's a good cafe as well. Springbank Distillery, in the heart of Campbeltown, is still (miraculously) family-owned, and is the only distillery to complete the entire whisky making process on the one site. There are regular expert-led tours, a wee sniffer on the way round, and a free miniature single malt to take away at the end. A trip up the east coast, more rugged than the west, is well worth it. Stop off on the way to see Saddell Castle, a 16th century tower-house overlooking Kilbrannan Sound, and the nearby ruins of Saddell Abbey. Beyond Carradale, the road is mainly single-track with passing places.

Wonderful hospitality from Ian and Nick and their friendly staff in a beautiful relaxing setting. The food was exceptional from the home made jam and delicious porridge, Ian’s green sauce on smoked haddock and muffins,to the varied evening menu! Great value too including the exciting gins on offer... The bed was extremely comfortable which is very important to me as, due to arthritis, I don’t normally sleep away from home. Also the location of this lovely friendly and exceptionally clean hotel cannot be matched!
Tips:We decided not to take the car as the Glasgow to Campbeltown bus stops right outside the hotel on Bellochantuy Bay. Although not regular we timed the bus to drop us off at Tayinloan to get the ferry to Isle of Gigha (the ferry is about a ten to fifteen minute walk from the bus stop.) We highly recommend a visit to this idyllic island which is only a 20 minute ferry away from the mainland. The Boathouse resataurant offers everything from a coffee to an ice cream or a fabulous fishy lunch! You can also catch the same bus going the other way to visit Campbeltown.

My wife and myself really enjoyed ourselves on our short, spur of the moment, trip to Kintyre. Our stay at the Argyll Hotel was most enjoyable as we were looked after perfectly by Ian and Nick and their staff. The weather was good and sunny. We will be back this year to sample the best attention we have had at any hotel in Scotland. Sea views are to die for as the hotel is situated right on the beach. Thanks to everybody who made our stay memorable. James and Maureen Graham

Have stayed in this hotel many times over the last 20 years. I stop going due to the poor state of the building.

Ian and Nick advised they still have some work to do and if that’s the case I look forward to visiting again very soon. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel. We were very surprised when we arrived as you will be too. Don’t forget your dog, oh yes a hotel that actively welcomes them!!!, perfect and the views and sunsets they are indescribable.
Tips:We love the beach and you ll be spoilt for choice, from Westport to Southend. Good swimming pool in Campbeltown and a local cinema. a visit to the Mull is a must. Bring some trainers and off course you need to go to some of the beautiful island. Well maybe you ll need another visit for that.

Kintyre Hotel That Offers Fantastic Hospitality, From a Diligent & Friendly Team. My wife & I, including our border collie, spent a relaxing weekend at the Argyll Hotel. Special Thanks to Iain,Nick & all of the team that ensured that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The full Scottish breakfast, lunch with home made soup, evening dinner utilising local produce is highly recommended. Our border collie enjoyed a cooked sausage from the kitchen each morning also, followed by many walks along a disserted beach.
Tips:Enjoy many miles of coastal walks adjacent to the Mighty Atlantic Ocean. Magical views of the Hebridean Islands.

Firstly, thank you, for being such brilliant hosts, for being great value for money, and for being so dog friendly. I know that it’ll be hard for you to cater for everyone knowing you care for dogs so much but I really appreciated having a place to holiday knowing my best pal could join me. He lived the beach, he loved his welcome treat, and I hope he was well behaved enough. He also loved the staff, as did I. I had a great night sleep and enjoyed the view over breakfast too. I know this is a work in progress for you guys and you’ll make it your own. You are doing a great job. Above everything else one thing I loved most was that you had a single room for which you didn’t charge a single supplement. This meant I could come. Please don’t change that.
Tips:Take time. Don’t rush. Enjoy the beach, go and see the extreme end of the mill of kintyre, enjoy Campbeltown but also enjoy the hotel and it’s beautiful setting.

We booked this hotel because of its location - it is literally on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. The view from the dining room is simply amazing. Nick and Ian are very hospitable and informing hosts - nothing is too much trouble for them. The room was comfortable and warm with a lovely view over the ocean. We dined both nights and the food was delicious - lovely fresh home cooked meals. Similarly the breakfast is also delicious - you must try Ian's special sauce - amazing. The hotel is located a short drive by car or bus from Campbeltown and various sights. Would highly recommend.

Dear Nick and Ian and rest of the team. We had a great stay with you, but unfortunately only for one night, would have loved to stay longer. You have a great place and as you say, an ongoing project. There are things that need to be updated, but you know this and we wish you all the best of luck with your hotel and look forward to visiting you in the future. Your service and food is really good, no no comments on that. All the best Teit & Jan
Tips:Best thing to do - take a walk along the beach - it is absolutely breathtaking.

Very relaxed and comfortable stay. Ian and Nick are excellent hosts and all the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is a particular highlight with great menu choices and to quality meals. The location of the hotel is really good with the beach just a couple of steps down from the terrace outside the conservatory restaurant. Highly recommended if you're looking for a place to escape life's bustle for a while.
Tips:One tip would be that you don't have to travel away from the hotel all the time. There's a comfortable lounge and bar with coffee and drinks available and, weather permitting, sitting out on the terrace to read or just enjoy the views is great. If you do want to explore we'd recommend the Mull of Kintyre lighthouse - a lovely drive and a steep walk from where the road ends. Davaar Island (watch the tides!) is a good walk and Muneroy's tea-room at Southend serves extraordinary cakes. Basically just do everything at half the speed you normally live your life and chill for a bit. You'll feel great.

The Hotel is a fitting and great package, rooms, restaurant, service - everything was top!!

As posted on Hotels.com...... Absolutely wonderful place - one of the best hotels I've stayed in for its all-round appeal, amenities and experience. Extremely welcoming owners and friendly staff, amazing food at a great price, wonderful sea view in the restaurant and the sandy beach is accessed immediately from the patio area at the back of the hotel. A massive bonus is the friendliness towards dogs and not having to worry that your pets are a burden or nuisance in the hotel, including the eating areas. For all these reasons, we will definitely be back.

Tips:Not any other eating places nearby that we could see, but we ate in house and it was very good. Campbeltown with its many attractions is a short drive away (10 miles). The area is full of beautiful beaches and perfect for outdoor pursuits. Also lots of historic buildings and sites.

Tips:Our grown up children enjoyed a visit to Ghia, where they hired some old bikes to tour. We visited Saddle Bay where Paul McCartney filmed "Mull of Kintyre". Visited some ruins at the castle and saw a sculpture of a figure looking out to Arran, by Anthony Gormley, who created Angel of the North. Also visited Campbeltown and had coffee in the tearoom of the lovely Art Nouveau cinema.

A friendly, caring staff made this one of the most laid-back and revitalising short breaks that we have had in the last decade. In addition, the food is excellent and the cellar lacks nothing.
Tips:Situated backing onto a long, clean beach, this hotel is a must for dog lovers and children alike. A 15 minute drive from Campbeltown and its amenities, makes the location handy in all respects. Lots of boat trips run out of Campbeltown and the Whisky Shop outlet of the Springbank distillery is an experience in itself. Here, in addition to the commonly marketed bottles of their product, you can also buy 1/4, 1/2 and full bottles of their various whiskies bottled straight from the cask in front of you. Rum is also available!

Thinking that the hotel was in Campbeltown, it was a lovely surprise to arrive at Ballochantuy Beach. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We appreciated being contacted prior to our stay regarding our dinner arrangements. Prices are very reasonable. Our only regret was that we were only staying one night.
Tips:Plan to stay 2-3 nights as there are many interesting things to do in this area. A drive/walk down to the Mull is rugged and beautiful. Visit the Muneroy Tearoom (you may have to book). We missed out on visiting caves and a walk during low tide to Davaar Island. The helpful staff at Visit Scotland are great to consult with.

I was welcomed so kindly, although being at least two hours early, and immediately put at ease and began to relax after a very long journey sleeping in the motor, from Somerset. Directed to drive into Campbelltown for future supplies, when I returned was welcomed again with a pot of tea. Exactly right ! The evening meal of haddock and cheese brilliant. Slept well, Superb "green eggs" then off to Oban.
Tips:There is such a glorious vista from the dining room and terrace, it would be remiss not to advise visitors to miss making a sketch of the scene, Visit Glenbarr Abbey and the tea rooms but sadly the Abbey itself is no longer open to the public, but perhaps speak to Billy, the gardener for horticultural tips. All along the coast wonderful sea-birds to hear and see.

Disappointed to be charged £55 cancellation fee. I appreciate that this is in accordance with your cancellation policy and you are entitled to charge it but in the circumstances where foggy weather disrupted my travel plans for the day and following my telephone conversation with you I was under the impression that you would waive this charge if you were able to re let the room. I understand from friends of my daughter who got a last minute booking that you were full so I would appreciate your comments.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Good Morning - hopefully I will be able to answer your query regarding your late cancelation charge. We received your cancellation 6 hours before check in on a busy bank holiday weekend. The normal cancelation fee applies in this case. We are sorry you were under the impression that this fee would be waived in the case of a rebooking of this room, this is not the case. Our cancellation policy is 24 hours before checkin (3pm) which is more generous than most Kintyre hotels which have a 48 hour policy. I am sure you will appreciate that being a small hotel with 8 rooms, we need to cover ourselves for last minute cancelations whilst trying to understand and accommodate our guests wishes/ needs. As you have stayed with us in the past, I am sure you know we would not charge unless we had to. I hope this answers your query, best wishes Ian & Nick

Fabulous owners operators. They did everything to make life pleasant and comfortable. The location is a bit remote from airport and Camplbelltown but beautiful location for a get away. Great food and very good selection,of scotch, gin, beer and other beverages. In fact, we chose one evening to go into Campbelltown for dinner and after concluded we should have remained at the Argyll where food and atmosphere was considerably better. Like almost everywhere in Scot land, the internet was a bit sketchy in the room but fine elsewhere and the hosts helped and anticipated needs such as taxis, phone calls etc perfectly. Overall very solid value
Tips:We came for golf. Dunaverty at Southend is a true gem— best of thempenisula. But do note, there is no cell phone there so make sure of ztransport requirements. But fantastic course. Old Tom Morris Machrihanish is terrific and a real test of golf. Sadly, Kidd,s Machrihanish Dunes is a disappointment. It’s is an Americanized liknks. Quirky without charm. Long unneccessary walks between tees and greens and vistas spoiled by the stupid windmills. The greens are reasonable.

Tips:A walkers paradise especially the beaches -they just go on and on - and if you have a dog(s) for company - even better.The only thing that can't be guaranteed is the weather- but it is such a beautiful place that even in it's duller moments it is still extraordinary.

Tips:I played golf at machrihanish which is about 14 miles south of here, plenty of beach to walk on as well locally, noticed a surf club at one of the beaches too, overall I think it's more a relaxing holiday area rather than an activities based area..but, well worth a visit

Owner Response:Hi thank you for your comment - just wanted to clarify that you booked a ' room only ' booking with booking.com, which states on your booking confirmation the cost of breakfast, you were also reminded of this on arrival. As Nick and I did not see you at check out, you were not told by us it would be 'cheaper'. Sorry you were disappointed - please check what you book and what it includes in the future as we cannot change prices set with 3rd party booking agents. looking forward to seeing you again in the future, Best wishes, Ian& Nick

Very friendly welcome and hospitality. Excellent food. Comfortable bedroom. Excellent location on edge of stunning sandy beach.
Tips:Take opportunity to visit Campbeltown Picture House, recently reopened following a multi-million pound refurbishment, and now a stunning building. Also worth visiting Davaar Island, by walking across the causeway at low tide, and do visit the tearoom at Southend.

We LOVED our stay at the fabulous, dog friendly Argyll Hotel. Ian and Nick are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. Ian is also a very talented chef and has a real creative flair in the kitchen. Set right on the beach, with views across to Islay, Jura and Gigha the hotel is in a stunning location. If you plan to explore the Kintyre Peninsula make this your base.
Tips:There’s loads to see and do on the Argyll Peninsula but some must see tips would be to visit the following: Saddell - the beach appears in the Mull of Kintrye music video. There’s also a castle, a ruined abbey and some amazing medieval carved stones there. Davaar Island (Crucifixion Cave) - this tidal island can be reached via a causeway from Campbeltown. It takes a bit of effort to reach the cave but it’s worth it. Skipness Castle - a magnificent medieval fortress, plus an ancient chapel with carved stones. Mull of Kintyre Lighthouse - it’s in an area of outstanding natural beauty and reaching it is great exercise! Southend - for seal spotting and to visit St Columba’s Footprint and Keil Caves.

Enjoyed a comfortable stay with very helpful and hospitable hosts. Vegan meal options were brilliant, so would totally recommend for vegan travellers. Being almost on the beach we could go to sleep to the sound of the waves! Pool table was great especially given the bad weather, and we can imagine the terrace with sea view is lovely when the sun is out!
Tips:Even though the weather was really bad, horizontal rain, we enjoyed walking on the beaches, visiting St. Columba’s Chapel and the wee cinema in Campbeltown.

Without doubt the most dog friendly place we have ever stayed, and we only stay in dog friendly places. The location is amazing. You could spend all day just looking out to sea. Out of the door and onto the beach. Ian, Nick and the staff are fantastic. Food is great. Thanks for a wonderful break.
Tips:Spoilt for choice for walking but can highly recommend the beaches at Southend. A trip from Tayinloan to the isle of Gigha is a must. Campbletown is small but well worth a visit. All in all there is so much to see that a bit of research before you visit will help you plan your stay.

I loved the location of the hotel directly at the sea. The service, the staff and the food were excellent. We really enjoyed it. But there are also things you can make better. For example: The mattress of the bed was saggy. The handle of the hand shower was defect. So we had to draw attention not to hurt the hand. And it was very difficult to set the correct tempreture of the shower.

We have just returned from a wonderful two night stay at this very dog friendly beach side hotel. To say we enjoyed it is an understatement. We had our dog with us and all of us could not have been made more welcome. The owners Ian and Nick and their staff are the most welcoming and friendly people you could ever come across – gained lots of useful information as to where to go and what to see in the area. From the minute we set foot in the hotel we felt at home which included the dog which was allowed in the public areas of the Hotel. We had a lovely, comfortable room (Room 4) which had wonderful views of the coastline and the beach. The hotel's location right on the beach and is a paradise for dogs and their owners – literally seconds to get onto the sandy beach. We ate in the conservatory restaurant, complete with sea shore views, for breakfast and both evenings for dinner. The food was of a very high quality and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals – both evenings had a “special of the day”. Ian cooked breakfast each morning and I have to say it was the best breakfast we have ever had in a hotel – everything is cooked to order. The weather was good so we managed also to sit on the terrace in front of the conservatory enjoying a pint and the view of the beach. The Hotel is situated a short drive to Campbeltown and its facilities which is situated near the Mull of Kintyre. Being close to the Gulf Stream the temperature is generally above the UK average and many streets, gardens and parks have unprotected palm trees growing – quiet an unusual sight to behold. Thank you to Ian, Nick and all their team for making our stay perfect. We will return with family and their associated dogs soon.

Tips:Westport Beach just along the road is a lovely stretch of beach. Glenbarr Stores, just before you get to the Argyll Hotel.

I stay in hotels a lot for business and I have never found any staff so attentive or welcoming. The relaxed attitude towards the dogs made our stay so much more enjoyable. I had this hotel recommended to me by 2 different people who had stayed previously and it certainly did not let us down. The food was delicious at breakfast, lunch and dinner and the choice of drinks was great a bit more extensive than the usual run of the mill pub drinks.

I have already been recommending this fabulous place like mad. It was all I expected and more. All the staff were wonderfully friendly and attentive, the location hard to beat, the food was exactly the comfort that I wanted (the best Green Ham and Eggs I've ever had), the dogs beautiful and I am already looking forward to my return visit. If you are looking for high end anonymous luxury this is not the place for you but if you are looking for friendly home comforts with a pool table in the games room, a cosy bar, a dinning room and sitting area with spectacular views and the Atlantic only a walk across the beach then this is the place for you.

The hotel is run by two lovely men who are very helpful and hospitable. The staff that work there are all excellent with top customer service skills. When they say it is team, that's how it comes across. I felt that I was a valued customer and would recommend anyone to spend time there.
Tips:The hotel location is perfect. Right next to the beach and the bus stop, if travelling by public transport. If you like peace and tranquility, great hospitality, good food and drink, you are going to the right place. The beach is perfect to wander up and down. Campbeltown is a 10/15 minute drive away. There are shops, restaurants and an working harbour, in which a few fishing boats still operate. The view from the patio can be enjoyed forever.

The meals served from breakfast to dinner are to be recommended as fresh local produce is often used within the kitchen. The bar is also well stocked with local malt whisky's and a selection of fine ales. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186499-d5000416-r357016171-Argyll_Hotel_Beachside_Restaurant-Campbeltown_Argyll_and_Bute_Scotland.html#

We thoroughly enjoyed many aspects of our stay, but felt that the hotel was let down by its general decor (tatty paintwork in entrance hallway, in particular, did not give a good impression on our arrival!). The room we were allocated (No 7) was dingy and rather small, although clean and beautifully prepared. Facing the road, we found that with the window open at night there was a surprising amount of noise from passing traffic. Our initial reservations were quickly overcome by the owners and staff, who all made us (and our dog) extremely welcome. Breakfasts were excellent (although personally I would have liked to have had the option of some fresh fruit). We were a little disappointed with the evening menu, which remained virtually unchanged (apart from the soup) for the three evenings of our stay. Even the 'specials' were the same on each day! More variety in the main dishes from day to day, and the accompanying vegetables, would have been appreciated, as would at least one pudding with fresh fruit as a component. However, service in the dining room was excellent and the food nicely presented. Overall, we appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and were really won over by the work that is being put in to turn the hotel around and the plans for the future.
Tips:We much enjoyed exploring the areas around Southend and Carradale.

Overall we enjoyed our stay but felt that the rooms especially the en-suites were in need of some updating and lacked some of the little extras like shower gel and tissues etc. Breakfasts were all excellent but a couple of the mains at dinner were not up to the same good standards eg the Moroccan tagine and the curry.
Tips:The Old Clubhouse at Macrahanish does a good lunch especially if you need to shelter from the rain. Coastal Design at Campbeltown sells some beautiful local crafts Davaar Island is worth walking to if the tides times are right Glenbarr Abbey is very close and is the ancestral seat of the Macalister Clan

The hotel, setting and staff were excellent, in particular the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The only issues were lack of wifi (although to be expected in a remote and rural area) and the least powerful shower I've ever experienced!! But, the kind and attentive staff more than made up for these problems and I would not hesitate to stay again and will recommend it highly.

A brilliant place to leave it all behind and blow the cobwebs away - in a beachfront location that's beyond compare. And even if the weather closes in, you can enjoy nature's show from a front row seat in the comfort of the roomy conservatory. You'll be well looked after by Ian and Nick (and their team), offering some very tasty locally sourced food and a well-stocked bar. All in all, a real gem that's well worth a visit.
Tips:Feeling brave? Take the winding (and occasionally precipitous) single track road to the Mull of Kintyre Lighthouse. On a good clear day, the views are out of this world. And don't forget to head down to Southend for a walk along white sands in the company of seals and oystercatchers. After all if it was good enough for Saint Columba himself...
Would Recommend: Yes

This is an unpretentious little gem of a place which is definitely worth a visit. The food is good; the rooms are really comfortable and it is exceptionally good value for money but it is the staff that really bring the extra sparkle. The proprietors, Ian and Nick, have built up a team that manage to combine informality with brisk efficiency which results in a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. It is difficult to convey just how lovely this hotel is in just a fee short sentences - probably best just to go for a visit and you'll see for yourself.
Tips:There is little in the way of formal tourist attractions although to be honest I didn't need them. The whole area is just stunning. It is amazing just how much fun one can have watching the Gigha ferry sailing to and from the island!

Nick & Ian were fabulous hosts. All staff were very friendly & helpful. The home cooked food made to order was delicious including breakfast with Ian's special sauces & the homemade jams. The atmosphere of the hotel is very warm,friendly & relaxing. The hotel is also very dog friendly which is the best we've ever been to. There was always a clean lovely scent throughout the hotel. The small touches in the room were brill-chocolates placed in your room every day along with scottish shortbread biscuits & speciality teas just fab! Hope to be back soon ☺

Score of 2 for facilities is being sorted according to the owner. The staff know there are things to do to improve and have it in their action plan. The obvious strength of the hotel is its location and this needs exploiting in every possible way. Decoration of the hotel is very nice, pictures, books etc. Food very good although no steaks on the menu. Locally brewed beer very nice.
Tips:Only stayed 1 night but the area is obviously a delight for nature lovers.The beach looked as if it would really suit a family with young children.

The welcome we received was very warm and genuine. Staff are friendly and do everything they can to help and ensure that your stay is as enjoyable as possible. The dining room and deck area provide stunning views to the islands and is a very tranquil and relaxing place to be. We originally booked only one night, but loved it so much extended our stay for another night. Would have stayed longer, but they were full and couldn't accommodate us, sadly. We would visit again ..... and again!
Tips:Sit on the deck with a gin & tonic or a glass of wine, and enjoy the stunning view! The food in the Argyll Hotel was so good we didn't venture further to eat, but Campbeltown is definitely worth a visit. Can highly recommend it for a quiet break.

The location of this hotel, is fantastic! stunning views over the deep blue sea to the islands of Islay and Jura. I spend hours relaxing sitting at the large patio at the rear of the hotel each time I visit, just watching the amazing views. This is what paradise must be like. The staff are very hospitable, friendly and seem to connect well with all visitors. The Chef, Scott. really is first class and I really enjoyed every meal in the hotel restaurant. Ian, cooks a great grilled breakfast which really is a good start to another relaxing day in Kintyre. I would highly recommend this hotel this hotel, to all visitors to the Mull of Kintyre.
Tips:Walk over the causeway at Campbeltown, to Davaar Island, and have a look at the famous paintings in the cave there. Southend and Machrihanish certainly worth a visit worth a visit.

Having stayed in a couple of hotels in and around the area this has been by far the best. You felt totally at home as though you had been many times before, the new owners have certainly put there mark on the hotel and the rest if the staff are very friendly and caring. The locals will be very happy to have such a welcoming environment to visit and I will be back this year with a few more family members. Well done to everyone who has brought life back into this lovely place
Tips:The hotel it's self offers great food and the beach is amazing to walk along very clean and views for miles followed of by stories from the locals in the bar which are warm felt and also hilarious at the same time

Having stayed in the hotel on numerous occasions in the past, and having vsited for meals both lunch and evening for a long number of years, I have always found The Argyll to be old fashioned but homely. it has always been "nice" without being special, and management always courteous and friendly but not overly so. On this ocassion I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail by the management (despite being a fairly frequent visitor, I have never been greetd by my first name, as I was this time, for example!) . Those small touches - newspapers at breakfast etc - make all the difference and I have no doubt that as Ian and Nick's plans for the place unfold, the result will be a modern friendly hotel which while retaining the best of prevous standards, will flourish as a modern well run business where the emphasis is on the guests experience rather than convenience for the management. Thanks guys, we will certainly be back!!
Tips:Having been visiting Kintyre since the late 1960,s, and currently making around 6 or more journeys per year, the area has long sold itself to me. Personally, as a working musician , I just like the peace and quiet!!
