Ardshiel Hotel

Fantastic traditional hotel with beautiful Fittings & elegant broad staircase with solid treads easy to climb even with a stick. charming, friendly staff who work efficiently & professionally. I love the biggest single malt whiskey collection in any hotel ever seen. Reading the labels can take a long time / but the whiskey menu is easier & informative. Chef excellent too. To me the Ardshiel, Flora, Marion & their caring team is the Mull of Kintyre.

I couldn’t stay longer sadly too far from Dorset 😉

Very helpful staff, very good food - and a very broad selection of whisky in the bar, very much a home from home. Nothing was too much for the staff to do to help – I witnessed very supportive and instructive management – a model for many.

There appeared to be no lift to the top floor – meaning that a heavy case had to be carried out a number of flights of stairs – it is in the nature of the building, it is old - but very warm....has charm, and clearly there is difficulty in installing a lift to such a prestigious building.

We enjoyed our stay so much. The staff were very friendly and could not have been more helpful. The hotel is near the centre of Campbelltown which was very convenient as we were Travelling by bus and going to an event in the Town Hall for 2 nights. The hotel had everything we needed from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble. From arrival to enjoying our packed lunch on the bus on the way home we could not have had a better trip.

Ardshiel is in a quiet location within walking distance of the local amenities. Great choice of food for breakfast and evening meals. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel also has an excellent choice of whisky.

Room poorly lit. An extra lamp in seating area would help. The handbasin in the bathroom was tiny with an awkward mid sink placed tap. Okay if you just want to wash your hands. Not everyone is happy (or able) to climb into the bath for a shower.

The Ardshiel is lovely hotel full of Scottish tartan and warmth. We were a party of 5 in two rooms, a family room and a double attic room. The family room is quite small for 4 people but we got by, it is warm and cosy. The double was lovely and spacious with lovely views. You can walk everywhere and the main town street is just 3 mins away on foot. the breakfast is hot or cold and plentiful. Staff are lovely.

A lock on the bathroom would have been good and a small fridge as we are carrying medicine with us.

Everything fine, staff friendly, accommodation relaxing and good standard, good and ample breakfast

complimentary drinks in room a bit random - e.g. only one sachet of hot chocolate. A bit of a lack of information - on when was breakfast, passwords for internet etc. perhaps more "help yourself" food at breakfast - more sachets of marmalade, "help yourself" bread, which you could just get, without waiting to be given more toast etc. However definitely no major problems !

From the first moment arriving at the Ardshiel every thing was easy. We were given our room key & on entering the room it was lovely & spacious & very clean with high a ceiling & a beautiful coving all around it looked lovely. All that you could need from toiletries to towels all fresh & clean. It also had an ironing board & iron tucked away in the wardrobe if you needed it. Tea coffee facilities with a kettle & mugs were in the room. We ate here for breakfast & evening meals as we were out most of the days we stayed in Campbelltown visiting the area. Glad we ate here because the food was lovely. ( well done chef & all kitchen staff & waitresses). You can eat in the restaurant or the garden if you want to. The garden was large & a pleasant place to eat or just to have a drink to relax & unwind. This hotel has the best selection of whisky you will find anywhere. The Ardshiel is only a short walk into Campbelltown which has a few coffee shops, eateries & gift shops. The Loch itself is absolutely breath-taking with the hills & mountains surrounding it. But then again the whole area is breath-taking. You only have to drive a few minutes to find something all inspiring. Back to the staff which lets be honest makes an hotel, the staff here were all polite, friendly & helpful I cant praise them all enough. I would like to single one lovely lady out, Valerie who was on reception & was outstanding she helped us out by giving us advice in trying to find my family past & present which we were able to do. Some of the people I met in Campbelltown knew of my late Grandparents & other family members which was a great help to us. Such a lovely place to visit & a real hidden gem.

Nothing to add here. It was all perfect.

Lovely, clean hotel, great value. Awesome selection of whisky, comfortable rooms, comfortable beds. Staff were, without exception, all wonderful. Very helpful and engaging, not at all pushy or rude. I felt my visit there was something they tried to make better at every interaction.

Shower flow was weak. Adequate, but weak. That's pretty much the only negative I can think of.

Great location, good breakfast and a whisky bar second to none!

Some of the furniture is a bit tired and needs replacing. There was some sort of dust on my pillow when we arrived, perhaps something came in an open window

The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Our room was well equipped and quiet with a very good bathroom. The food was well above average. The bar included several hundred whiskies with staff who knew their stock and could offer advice.
