Personal service

Available Sunday to Thursday, option one is for two people to enjoy an overnight stay with a full Scottish breakfast in the morning.

In the evening, guests are offered up to £30 per room, per night, towards the cost of dining in the Royal an Lochan restaurant.

Option two is available seven days a week and is for two people to stay two consecutive nights at the Royal an Lochan with a full Scottish breakfast each morning and £30 per room towards the cost of dinner each evening in the Royal an Lochan restaurant.

Luxurious bedrooms

Luxurious and individually decorated, most of the bedrooms were refurbished last year and all eleven of them are ensuite and rear facing.

All the rooms have WIFI and all but one of them have both a bath and shower.

This offer is for a rear facing room. Depending on availability, there may be the option to upgrade to a sea view room for £20 for 1 night or £30 for 2 nights.

Scottish produce

The restaurant at the Royal an Lochan looks out on to the Kyles of Bute but the views on the plate are just as stunning.

The Michelin-starred, Scottish chef Tom Kitchin likes the food here. He told the BBC Good Food Magazine that his ideal meal would be the fresh, Tarbert-landed langoustines served in the Royal an Lochan.

Locally sourced produce, especially seafood, forms the backbone of the menus.

The kitchen changes the menus regularly but typical dishes might be starters such as the pan-seared, local scallops served with a vanilla and parsnip purée, parsnip crisps and pickled beetroot.

Popular main courses include the roast rump of Scottish lamb served with spinach and wild mushrooms, fondant potatoes, ratatouille and jus.

Chill

The tranquil Argyll countryside surrounding the hotel offers some off the best scenery on the West Coast of Scotland as well as fantastic bird-watching opportunities. The hills above Tighnabruaich boast three well stocked trout lochs and, if you are feeling energetic, the nine-hole golf course nearby has possibly the best views in the world.

The less energetic may prefer to relax with a malt whisky and a book in the hotel’s atmospheric Shinty Bar.

‘Fantastic. Just came back after a two night stay at the Royal an Lochan and must say it was more than we expected. The hotel was lovely; rooms were beautiful with stunning views… The food and the presentation were amazing. Top marks to the chef and must say the choice of wines was great as well. The owners are very welcoming and also special mention to the manager and manageress who made our stay very enjoyable. We will definitely return. Thanks for a great stay, Ann & Jim x’
