Very bad hotel - avoid. Refused to engage with us and charged us for a nights stay and refused to reschedule. Hotel policy is restictive and staff are rude and obfuscate to ensure profit. Have removed from our hotel list to ensure this no longer happens. Do better next time - or dont bother at all.

We checked in to a double room on January 2nd, around 4 pm, and the heating didn't work, We were then given a key to the room next door, again no heating. I went to reception and Stan, the owner, gave me a fan converter heater. It was on all night. Going for a shower in the morning wasn't a nice experience experiencing

Very welcoming and friendly. From the owner to the locals who were in the bar. They were absolutely lovely. Room was very clean and I loved that there was lots of tea, coffee, etc. Thank you for the warm welcome and great stay. I would definitely book here again and have already been recommending to friends.

Very friendly and welcoming place. I didn't stay at the hotel but have popped in for drinks with family and friends. Beer garden is a lovely little sun trap!

Absolutely amazing hotel. If I could give more stars than 5 I would! It's a very cozy, family run hotel with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. I've been in "grander" hotels and none 9f them compare to how Stan and the gang made me feel during my stay. They have a wealth of local knowledge and interesting places to visit, and they're never short of a laugh or a captivating story to tell.

Food has that home made feeling, the warm fuzzy kind made with love. And the staff are always up fir a bit of banter and a joke. Absolutely lovely place, would always recommend. Thank you all at the Stag Hotel xxx

Dreary interior. The barman was more interested in talking on his phone than serving.

More like a hostel than a hotel. Very dated and in seriouse need of updating. I can't comment on food as did not want to eat there, but the menu reminded me of school meals. Poor nights sleep as there were homeless people being accommodated there who were shouting at each other at 2.30 am and noise from the bar made it difficult to sleep the rest of the time.

No shampoo or shower gel provided only a bar of soap. The owner, I pressume, was friendly but seems to be unaware of how badly the premises is in need of attention. Would not stay there again and checked out early because of this.

Brilliant hotel, the staff are worth more than the 5 stars so I'll give them 10 , the homemade food is also really tasty and the owner and his family and staff make everyone feel at home and at ease, if you need anything ask the owner Stan or his daughter Susan but any of the staff will do everything they can to make your stay is an enjoyable one, well done Stan, Susan and family you and your staff made our stay really really enjoyable, absolutely brilliant.

We were at Stag Hotel Lochgilphead for an 80th birthday and booked in for the night. The meal was excellent as was the service considering there was 40 of us we all had our food served hot and very quick. The bedroom was very clean bedding pure white towels same - we were very happy with everything.

Stayed at the stag hotel while covering a wedding hire. Stan and the staff were fantastic. The room was bright, clean and warm. The food was excellent i would recommend the steak pie the pastry was perfect with plenty of meat chunks and gravy. Breakfast was also excellent. I have enjoyed my stay at the hotel and i will be back.
