Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa

Historic Inveraray hotel and spa

The recently refurbished Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa offers uninterrupted views of Loch Fyne and beyond to the Cowal Hills. This 4-star hotel has a colourful history and has welcomed guests such as King George VI, Eisenhower and Winston Churchill. Situated at the edge of the town of Inveraray, it is a stylish and comfortable base from which to explore the stately homes, gardens and historic sites of Argyll. Alternatively, you could just kick back, relax and enjoy the view from the hotel’s outdoor hot tub.

The superior doubles are spacious with a separate sitting area while the mini suites, popular with couples, feature a roll-top bath, large screen TV, DVD player and stunning views of the loch. Every room has a TV with digital cable channels, direct dial phone, free WiFi, desk with chair, hospitality tray with shortbread, hairdryer and Scottish fine soap toiletries.

AA Rosette dining

Local flavours and ingredients take pride of place in the kitchens of Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa. You can either dine in the cosy, Scottish-theme clansman Restaurant or the Loch View lounge bar, with different menus available for each. Whichever you choose, the hotel has some of the finest Scottish seafood on its doorstep, including Loch Fyne Oysters, mussels and scallops. Guest favourites include the prawn cocktail, the Stornoway Benedict and the melt-in-the-mouth Josper Grill steak sourced from the hotel group CEO’s own farm. For an extra special dining experience, you can sample the full skills of the kitchen team with the six course tasting menu. Both a vegetarian and vegan selection are also available.

Relax at the Sonas Spa

Activities in Argyll

Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa is the ideal location for exploring the treasures of Argyll. Inveraray Castle, as seen on Downton Abbey, is close by, as is the historic Inveraray Jail — a visitor attraction that will send shivers down the spine of adults and children alike. Golfing, horse riding and fishing are all available locally while gardeners will appreciate the botanical splendours of Crarae and Ardkinglas. The latter even boasts ‘the mightiest conifer in Europe’, which dates back to 1750. Whether you prefer bracing hikes, strolling past flowerbeds or simply sinking into a good book with a dram to hand, both the hotel and surrounding area will offer everything you need.
