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.

Reviews for Ardanaiseig Hotel
A last glimpse into a house from the past!
Sad to have only discovered this hotel just in time for it to close permanently. Yes, the facilities are somewhat dated and staff can seem thin on the ground, but, BUT, the food is excellent - if comedically slow at times - and staff are welcoming, diligent hosts. The grounds and bedrooms have clearly not received the maintenance they could have in recent years but the house has a rare, quirky charm which will no doubt be missed.

A wonderful, traditional, tranquil country hotel
What a wonderful place Ardanaiseig is. It is a traditional country house hotel so don't expect gleaming modernity, but our room was clean and extremely comfortable, the staff lovely and welcoming, the food very good and the bar well-stocked. Most of all though, the setting is truly spectacular, and feels a million miles from the hustle and bustle of normal working life. I'm very glad we visited before the hotel closes.

AN AMAZING HOUSE SET IN A STUNNING LOCATION.
We arrived to a warm and friendly welcome from Maxine, who was so efficient throughout our stay. The house is outstanding and stuffed full of gorgeous furniture, art and interesting objects. We walked around the grounds and along the lochside which was lovely. We enjoyed sitting in the drawing room having drinks and a delicious dinner of ham hock terrine and mackerel followed by lamb and fish with sticky toffee pudding as an indulgence. We were very well looked after during dinner and, afterwards, had an interesting chat with Drew, the barman. Our room, Kilchurn, was lovely with a huge 4 poster bed and a great bathroom. If this hotel closes permanently, as is due from 30.9.25, it will be a tragedy and an enormous loss for everyone.

Disgustingly filthy rooms
Filthy dirty rooms…mold in bathroom, walls stained with lord knows what, furniture chewed on…literally. Pretty when you drive up and the common areas are nice enough…but the rooms beyond awful. This is a one or two star hotel. Glad we only stayed one night. I was also told they are closing in December. Don’t waste your money.

Probably one of the most beautiful places you can stay in Scotland
A gorgeous, antique-filled Scottish baronial mansion sitting very comfortably beside one of Scotland’s most beautiful lochs in its own grounds full of beautiful and huge trees, and colourful rhododendrons. Only a few, uniquely-decorated, guest-rooms so the place is never busy, attracting couples who want to enjoy fine, tranquil, natural surroundings. No spa, swimming pool or function suites. No conference facilities, no nightclub, no evening entertainment. No traffic noise. No noise! Just an owl at night or a distant cuckoo during the day. Lovely staff, beautiful food, antique-filled rooms. Very homely and very relaxing.
