“In my opinion, this property's location in the West Highlands provides a unique base for exploring the area's natural beauty. Live music and a lively bar create a social atmosphere, while the restaurant's extensive menu, including local seafood, has some appeal. However, I think potential guests should be aware that some aspects require updating.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Argyll Hotel boasts a prime location near the ferry and within walking distance of local shops and cafes, offering some rooms with fantastic views of Loch Broom and the harbour. Many guests found the rooms to be a good size, with some featuring sofas and modern decoration. The pub downstairs is a convenient option for meals, though some have found the food selection limited to bar meals instead of a full restaurant experience. The hotel's position makes it a great value for exploring the area, with a private car park available at the back.

the tv didn't work the entire time. i reported it twice, but no one fixed it. they said there was a signal problem even though the bar tvs worked fine, i don't believe it. the furniture looked like it came from a charity shop! the room cost too much for what i got.
