“The half-way stop off which has become the destination.”

18 months ago I was looking for a hotel as a half-way point that would accept dogs. What I found was loch-side paradise, something that has turned in to my own little hideaway where I go to escape everyday life. And I'm fairly confident the dogs are the premier guests here.

18 months ago I was looking for a hotel as a half-way point that would accept dogs. What I found was loch-side paradise, something that has turned in to my own little hideaway where I go to escape everyday life. And I'm fairly confident the dogs are the premier guests here. Having just returned from my 3rd stay, I can say with confidence Taychreggan is the best hotel I've stayed in. I travel a lot for work and spend endless nights in big city hotels. I've visited many a hotel on the NC500 route in Scotland and a couple of fly-drives around America. I've come to realise a really good hotel is a bit like the fire triangle I remember from school, you need 3 things to make a fire. In this case you need 3 things to create the perfect hotel. Location, Hosts, Food. Taychreggan is hidden away in stunning scenery in a fantastic corner of the world. The beauty of Western Scotland is on full show here. An evening by the Loch with the fire burning and the red skies at sunset is blissful. No noise, no light pollution, just the lapping of the water on the rocks and cracking of the fires. The hotel itself is clearly old and full of character. I like how the history of the hotel is played out in old photos and snippets of history. There is a contemporary touch, but it's sympathetic with the history and age of the building. I really like the balance of old, new, and traditional. The hosts really are a cracking bunch of lovely people. It's 12 months since our last visit, we walked in to the bar and Sandy recognised us immediately, made a fuss of Patchy and asked "Wheres your little blind dog" with a concerned look on her face. (she was at home with our new puppy :). To remember us after 12 months shows the conversations we have with everyone there are real and genuine, it's not just customer service from a handbook. Zeni was mad about Patchy. He tried so hard to be her friend and by the time we were leaving I think he got there. She might have just been alarmed at the brightness of his suits? I was checking out and he came running with a breakfast sausage for her, feeding her it through the car window. It was a very sweet scene. We had more than just the usual pleasant hello with everyone we met over the 2 days, it made us feel very welcome. The food, I don't know where to start. the a la carte menu really is fine dining. I don't know how they get those flavours. The guys hidden away in the kitchen deserve as big a mention. The food they create is noting short of excellent. The Earl Grey Creme Brûlée was incredible, and the Sunday lunch was the best I've had away from home. They really know how to cook beef the right way. I can't say I'm used to canapés but I would suspect those I has were anything less than first class. Even if I I wasn't staying there overnight, it's well worth the ride out for a fantastic evening meal. This is why I find Taychreggan so special, it has all 3 ingredients I think good hotels need. I can see they wonk so hard to make the hotel special for the guests, both it and the staff really deserves the 5 starts I give them. See you in a few months.

“Amazing stay!!”

Amazing location, Amazing staff, beautiful place to stay..... Absolutely loved our 3 night stay in this property. They helped us with planning our day and also provided us with bikes .. The closest town is Oban which has amazing seafood restaurants. !!

“Peaceful loch hotel”

Lovely peaceful hotel set on the beautiful Loch Awe. The hotel is in a stunning location and the staff are wonderful. The hotel itself is a little tired but kept beautifully clean. The breakfasts were a highlight of the day. Dinner was great food and wine. Many thanks for a lovely couple of days.
