Ardanaiseig Hotel

About Ardanaiseig Hotel

Situated where the River Awe meets Loch Awe, Ardanaiseig Hotel is surrounded by a landscape heavy with Celtic myths and memories.

Long ago, high on Ben Cruachan, an ancient Celtic Goddess had a magic well of youth. But one night it spilled down the mountain, allegedly creating Loch Awe.

The luxurious Grade II country house escape in Argyll was designed by leading 19th century architect, William Burn. Guests can enjoy 240 acres of tranquil grounds, loch views and the mighty Ben Cruachan as a backdrop.

Individually designed rooms

The owner of the Ardanaiseig is an art dealer and his passion for collecting beautiful things is clear throughout the hotel.

From suits of armour to throne chairs via spectacular paintings to the exquisite grand piano in the drawing room, there seems to be a treasure around every corner.

The hotel offers a number of rooms as well as standard rooms as well as a rose cottage perfect for groups and families.
