"Parking was difficult and check in was made more difficult by a staff member who was not very forthcoming with information on the phone. The room was clean, but there was a pervasive smell of sewage coming from the bathroom. Breakfast was okay, but my husband received black pudding rather than sausage and my breakfast sandwich included an item which I asked to have on the side. The coffee was good."

"This was a wonderful place to stay. It is a heritage building and so you cannot expect modern amenities. But it had everything you need, a nicely renovated bathroom and the food was AMAZING! The atmosphere was perfect for the surrounding glen and the staff were extremely friendly. The room was small and basic but it lent to the charm. And the food.... Seriously good!"

"We had a lovely, relaxing couple’s break at The George in Inveraray. It’s a great historic hotel with plenty of character and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. ​Our room was comfortable, full of quirky charm, and having the freestanding bath right in the bedroom was a brilliant touch that made the stay feel that extra bit special. The food throughout our stay was really good, with plenty of tasty local options and a solid selection of drinks at the bar. ​The staff were friendly and attentive from start to finish, and the location is ideal for strolling around the town or down along the loch. Overall, it was a great, hassle-free getaway—we’d happily recommend it and stay again."
