The following are just some of the many reviews of the Crinan Hotel.

The SUNDAY TIMES

The Crinan Hotel's meals live up to its waterside setting.
Even the contents of its bins taste divine - writes Allan Brown

Crinan resembles a cross between Trumpton and the moon. You couldn't call it a village, it's just a hotel and a lock-keeper's cottage and the various clanking bits of Meccano that allow boats to pass from the canal out into the Sound of Jura. It's tiny, quaint and toy-bright; it has a bonsai 20ft lighthouse that looks as though it has shrunk in the rain. more >>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The hotel is full of fascinating original art (touring exhibitions from Scotland's national collections make a point of showing at this venue), the beds and bedrooms are spacious and massively comfortable with incomparable views from each balcony, and I would ( indeed, at times I have) travelled five times as far to taste food half as good. And not just the pains taken over lunch and dinner but breakfast is an absolute speciality ( worth the visit on it's own) and the exceptional seafood served here is genuinely worthy of a place where, after you've journeyed overland on foot or by car, or by boat, from Ardrishaig, through the fifteen locks of the old canal, you look up to find you have finally arrived at the sea.
