About the Hotel
In a distant corner of heaven on earth, between Oban and Perth and approximately two hours north of Glasgow, the intimate and romantic Ardanaiseig Hotel sits in deeply wooded gardens overlooking the mysterious islands and crannogs of western Scotlandâ€(TM)s Loch Awe. Built as a Scottish Baronial manor in 1834, this authentic country house welcomes visitors with its roaring log fire in the library, chamber music recitals in the drawing room and refined games room. Adorned with gracious antiques and works of art, each bedroom is an idealistic destination unto itself, named after local mountains, glens, lochs and castles.

Magical
Another blissful stay at this wonderful place on the shores of Loch Awe. Warm and friendly staff, big comfortable rooms with awesome views and food to die for. Chef Mike really knows how to showcase the best Scottish produce. Already booked our return visit

A weekend without power
This was a special occasion for three days with family and friends. We have stayed before I this lovely old hotel on the shore of Loch Awe. On this occasion we were faced with a total power outage as a result of Storm Eowym for three days. The staff looked after us do well despite the challenges they faced improvising with cold buffets, barabaque dinners , log fires all creating a memorable, warm and friendly atmosphere.

Great stay
I loved the faded glamour of this lovely hotel. The location by the Loch is beautiful and it is very tranquil. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. It is a great get away from it all hotel. I would love to re visit sometime. The hotel cat Katz is a nice addition to the welcoming feel. Thank you for making us feel so comfortable.

Idyllic place for a romantic stay
Just back from a wonderfully relaxing, romantic weekend at the beautiful Ardanaiseig Hotel. Despite being a somewhat tired old lady, this Scots baronial manor house is quirky and welcoming, with an incredible staff team who do so much despite their small number. Nothing is too much for them, from the moment you arrive, with exceptional food and service.

If you can’t relax here there is no hope for you!
Just enjoyed two very relaxing comfortable nights in this quirky, low key hotel.the most well equipped it is not, but we so enjoyed the very special atmosphere here. Arriving after the driving up the three mile drive is very special, the loch side setting with views of the snow topped Ben Lui set the scene. The public rooms are comfortable and relaxed despite the antiques and faded grandeur. We particularly enjoyed the art work and recognised Mick and Bianca jagger, David Bowie , Ringo and George Harrison amongst the nymphs and Victorian gentlemen, great fun! The staff were very friendly and helpful, we felt looked after despite being left pretty much to our own devices. Best haggis I have ever tasted but they really need to upgrade the very underwhelming sosauge served for breakfast. My only gripe, I would have loved an open fire in the public areas, It was cosy but as it was October, this would have been a cosy sight. We thoroughly enjoyed borrowing the wellies in reception and wandering about the grounds, despite the rain Hotel cat was also a bonus! Complete silence at night so we slept really well Hope to be back one day
