The Colintraive - Argyll Bute

Living in Argyle there are often times that one really despairs of the general lack of effort or care that is so obvious in many eateries that carry on serving overpriced cheap quality unimaginative food and only survive because the competition is just as bad and fortunately for them so many punters are clearly prepared to pay for and eat rubbish. Thats why the Colintraive is such an oasis of quality in this culinary wasteland where the menu is interesting and full of inspired dishes and choosing is difficult because its all so good ! We have visited many times and unfailingly have received excellent friendly service from Rachael and David accompanied with excellent and delicious high quality food at reasonable prices and always leave feeling thoroughly satisfied . Our only grumble is the coffee which like many places in Argyle is too strong and bitter ...but thats our personal taste . Overall excellent and can't recommend highly enough .

Unfortunately this place has lost its great food experience. We used to stay at the hotel and travelled from quite far away for the food alone but things have changed since the ownership has changed. It was overpriced for the size of the portions and quality of the food. Won't be travelling to eat there again.

Came for lunch. Hotel is nice generously quaint or maybe a touch dated, but staff were welcoming and food was really lovely, haggis Bon Bon’s, langoustine and a mushroom risotto for starters which we all really enjoyed. Mains were lamb, traditional fish and chips and a schnitzel all equally well received. Worth the drive to visit both for the food and glorious scenery on the way

Initially we were disappointed, disgusted and angry. Having booked on recommendation, we found we were seated in a bar, where dogs are permitted. Seats were dirty and we did not want to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary in such conditions. However, management, upon hearing that we had an issue, were very quick in arranging a spot in the dining room. Food was outstanding and reasonably priced.

What an awesome spot! So happy I found this place while traveling around the area. Comfortable rooms, delicious food, fun pub, all the things you could ask for on an over night visit. Food was so good we ate there twice (dinner and breakfast). I loved the customizable breakfast menu. They are so accommodating!
