About Lochnell Arms Hotel
Carvery on the menu, steak pie, fishcakes, and a hot breakfast to start the day - the kitchen at Lochnell Arms Hotel is the main draw for many who stay here. The restaurant and bar are open to guests and locals alike, with outdoor seating for warmer days and packed lunches available for anyone heading out to explore Argyll and Bute.
The hotel has 12 rooms, all en-suite, with comfortable furnishings and views that guests consistently mention as a highlight. Family rooms are available, and staff are noted for being attentive and friendly throughout a stay. One point to note is that some of the showers are on the small side, so those wanting a spacious bathroom might want to ask ahead.
Beyond the restaurant and bar, facilities include free WiFi, a garden, meeting rooms, and free on-site parking, and the hotel also hosts weddings. Fishing, watersports, walking routes, and further pubs and restaurants are all within reach nearby, and Connel Ferry is a short distance away, making this a practical base for getting out into the surrounding area.
What guests say
Had a fantastic stay here. Beth, the manager, is a wonderful human being and made me feel very welcome. Finlay, who served me dinner, is amazing at his job and very knowledgable about vegan options. My vegan burger and breakfast were both delicious! Will definitely stay again. Thank you!

I had a really lovely stay at this gem of a hotel in Scotland. From the moment I arrived, it felt warm and welcoming—more like staying in a home than a hotel. The rooms were beautifully put together, the atmosphere was calm, and everything felt thoughtfully done. The views of the mountains and river were amazing as well, and really made the whole experience even more special. I left feeling rested and grateful. It’s a special place that stays with you.

I had the most incredible stay at this hidden gem over the weekend. The facilities were top-tier, the views were absolutely stunning, and the overall experience went far beyond expectations. What truly made it unforgettable was the staff, Lauren made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived and ensured we were always in good hands, while Jade was such a lovely presence, delivering genuinely warm and exceptional customer service throughout. I can’t recommend this place highly enough and will definitely be back.
