Historic 18th-century inn on the shores of Loch Awe
Rooms & Accommodations
The Kilchrenan Inn offers ten guest rooms with Hypnos beds and luxurious cotton percale sheets. Four of these rooms are Deluxe Family Rooms with added bunk beds for children. Each room includes a dressing room, wardrobe, and private bathroom with Arran Aromatics toiletries; Superior King Rooms also feature a coffee machine.
Dining & Bar
The in-house restaurant serves a seasonal menu built from fresh, locally sourced produce. Guests can order modern Scottish dishes such as chicken, ham, and tarragon pie or the pork belly, praised by visitors as some of the best in Scotland. The bar stocks Scottish beers, ciders, gins, and whiskies, and offers a cosy wood-burner seating area.
Location & Surroundings
The inn sits in Kilchrenan, just 5 miles off the main road, with direct views of nearby fields and a stream. Guests can walk down to Loch Awe before dinner or hike the local trails; the area is known for sightings of eagles, herons, red squirrels, and deer. Within a 25-mile drive are Dunstaffnage Castle, Corran Halls, Kilmartin House Museum, and Inveraray Castle.
Family & Pet-Friendly Facilities
Four Deluxe Family Rooms are designed with bunk beds for children, making them suitable for families of up to four. Dogs are welcome in guest rooms for an additional fee, and the property provides an outdoor fireplace and a picnic area for relaxed afternoons. Two children's meals menus are available upon request in the restaurant.
Outdoor & Parking
Free private parking is available directly in front of the inn for all guests. The grounds include a garden with outdoor furniture, a picnic area, and an outdoor fireplace. Guests can also use the on-site packing lunch service for day trips into the surrounding countryside.
