Okay for a sleep but fix your water heater
The hotel roomed seemed spacious and clean. The shower ran out of hot water first thing in the morning. I had to take a cold shower at 7 in the morning because the warm water just went away and I had the handle turned all the way to hot. Not a great experience. And my husband was charged $10 for a small bowl of cereal and a coffee which is steep.

Everything was wonderful except that the bed mattress was quite soft and uncomfortable and there was no fridge (although there was a stove) in the room.

I stayed here for a night with some friends. Staff was very friendly and welcoming and the rooms were nice and comfortable and clean. Parking was ample. Would certainly recommend you stay here if in the area.
Nature, at the top of Loch Awe, walkable to the Dam on Ben Cruhan and near the hidden-in-the-mountain, (Think James Bond) electric plant that offers tours. On train line that goes from Oban to Glasgow, transfer a few stops sooner to go up to the Great Glen, Fort Williams and the like.

Not bad
We had a nice stay. Have to say the bed was rather uncomfortable though. If you got to close to the edges it slumps. Small room but perfectly adequate. Its a nice area. Had a small picky dinner and drinks the night we were there. Very enjoyable. Skipped breakfast so cant comment on that.

Friendly Inn on Loch Awe
We had a wonderful stay at the Ben Cruachan Inn. Our room was large, comfortable and modern. Friendly and very helpful staff, and the food in the restaurant was fantastic. We loved hanging out at the bar / lounge area which was cozy and fun. Plenty of parking. Good room amenities (minus refrigerator). Lovely area within walking distance to Lock Awe and St Conan's Kirk, and a short drive to Kilchurn Castle. Would definitely recommend this hotel to others and would plan to stay here again in the future.

Great staff and great food. Excellent selection of whisky with staff on hand to lend a guiding hand.
Room was very nice but bed could have been a bit more comfortable but still a very pleasant stay. Would recommend to anybody looking for a great place to stay
