Portsonachan - Argyll Bute

The restaurant has a stunning view across Loch Awe. Food is excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful. We stayed for a week and didn’t have one complaint regarding the food.

Coffee stop. Great views from the terrace and conservatory. Good coffee. Well located. Helpful nice staff

I recently dined at this restaurant and it was one of the worst meals I have had in a long time. I ordered haddock and chips for £19.95, but the batter was overcooked and the chips were burnt. The portion of ice cream I received was small and cost £6.25. My wife ordered the Sunday roast for £18.95, but the beef was tough, the Yorkshire pudding and roasties were burnt. We also ordered a pint of lager and a glass of wine, which brought our total to £65. Overall, we were very disappointed with the quality of the food and service and do not plan on returning.

My wife and I had dinner here one evening during our visit to Loch Awe, and also lunch on a couple of occasions. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, especially the young Scottish guy, the Australian girl, and our waitress at dinner apologies for not knowing your names, but thanks for the great service we received. As for the food, we couldn’t fault it at all. The dinner we had was one of the best meals we have eaten in any restaurant. My wife ordered the Balmoral Chicken, and I had the Sea Bass. I forget what we had to start, but both courses were delicious. As was the Panna Cotta I had for dessert. The food was piping hot and we weren’t left waiting for ages between the generous courses. Prices were about what you would expect to pay in a hotel restaurant. We didn’t stay in the hotel or lodges as we had rented a cottage nearby, so I can’t comment on the accommodation, but I would certainly recommend the restaurant and we look forward to eating there again on our next trip to the area.

We had a short stay at Portsonachan Hotel, I was wary from some of the other reviews, but, honestly the place is stunning, yes, 'she ' is a old Coaching Hotel, but, my goodness it is worth a visit. I must say with one review said 'food was deep fat fried '...I have to strongly disagree, we ate both nights, one night in the lovely bar and the second in the main Restaurant...Food was delicious !!! Staff are very welcoming and we had the pleasure of meeting the Owners, who are also Dog lovers, we took our mad dog and he just loved the long walks and was very welcome to join us when we were dining...will definitely be returning and soon !!
