Argyll Hotel

The Argyll Hotel sits on Bellochantuy bay, 10 miles north of Campbeltown on the beautiful Kintyre peninsula. It is a small hotel with eight bedrooms, most boasting sea views of the Atlantic across to the islands of Islay, Jura and Gigha. The conservatory restaurant and lounge area give panoramic views of the ocean and islands too. A great place to chill and relax and of course to eat, with lunches and dinners served daily. Sit on our outdoor terrace and listen to the waves cascading onto the white sandy beach of the curved bay. The terrace leads directly onto the beach where you can walk off your dinner or build up your appetite before dinner. A great place too for children to play or to walk your dog. The hotel dates back to the late eighteenth century when it was built as a coaching inn and has remained as a hotel to this day. Modernised over the years, the hotel still retains the feel of an old west coast hotel with is cosy snug bar, but has the modern conveniences of en suite rooms with TV, free wi-fi access and an affordable restaurant meaning you do not have to leave the comfort of the hotel.

Excellent food with very friendly service in a restaurant with amazing views. Good quality food with no long wait and good service from the staff. Worth booking beforehand as it does get busy but if you’re near Campbeltown it’s well worth the effort

What a Surprise

Reviewed By frank b

I had stayed in the Anchor many years ago and decided it was a run of the mill affair but we wanted to get away and managed to get a one night stay as the Tarbet Regatta was on, plus the weather was playing ball for a change. What a change in the atmosphere as soon as we walked in. Very friendly greeting and asked if we were dinning with them that evening . As we had booked a restaurant for our visit we declined (but wish I had not) we made our way upstairs. The front loch view room which was spotlessly clean and bed linen up to a high standard. Bathroom was also v clean with all the toiletries provided etc. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of choice ,try the smoked haddock with poached egg yummy. We decided to stay for another night and we managed to get another loch view room and a dinner reservation . Oh boy someone in the kitchen really knows how to cook. I finally got some langoustine's for starters warm and with garlic and they hit the spot then halibut with crab risotto and pak choi . The other half did not have much of an appetite and chose the pate then a starter portion of mussels with gorgeous white wine sauce and rustic bread. He declared both were excellent. I would not hesitate to come back to the Anchor hotel and eat there on both nights. I think the towel rail heaters are due a wee look at as the general appearance of them is the one area that will probably be due a look at by the owners. But I feel sure that this will be on their "to do list " Wishing the new owners every success for the season. Liz Bryant

Excellent stay

Reviewed By G870NDmartins

Lovely hotel, we stayed in the loft, which has got a separate kitchen and lounge area. Very nice touch to have 2 pints of milk waiting in the fridge. Cleanliness is of a very high standard. The carpets were thick and bouncy, must have had a refurb not too long ago. Shower was s bit tricky to get to the right temperature but got there in the end. Duvet was filled with alpaca wool, very comfy as was the bed itself. Breakfast was in the cafe of the attached garden centre. Very tasty.and very good service. Really nothing to complain about, only that we should have planned to stay longer than the 1 night….
