Stunning Loch Fyne views

Stonefield Castle was built on the shores of Loch Fyne in 1837 according to a design by the famous Scottish architect, William Henry Playfair. These days, it is an atmospheric, 36 bedroom hotel with beautiful views over the water.

While the hotel has all the modern comforts and conveniences you might expect, it has also retained many period features typical of the Scottish baronial style. The splendour of the wood panelling, ornate ceilings and marble fireplaces are matched by extensive woodland grounds and the Wild Garden. From unusual rhododendrons to rare shrubs and magnificent Sierra redwoods, the gardens repay careful exploration.

Guests who head down to the shore may be rewarded with some fascinating wildlife. At dusk, it is sometimes possible to catch sight of seals by the hotel jetty or an otter trying to catch dinner among the waves.

Put simply, if you are looking for a romantic setting for a getaway break, Stonefield Castle absolutely fits the bill.

Loch Fyne views from room

With 36 individually decorated, ensuite rooms, Stonefield Castle offers comfortable and traditional accommodation.

Proud holders of an AA Rosette, the hotel kitchen is well known for its commitment to using locally sourced beef, game and seafood. The menus change regularly but typical starters might be the Loch Fyne mussels served in white wine with garlic, shallots and cream.

Popular main courses include the venison haunch with a potato and chestnut rosti and the boudin of chicken, served with pearl barley, wild mushroom and chorizo risotto, sautéed spinach and wild garlic with chorizo oil.

The breath-taking view over the loch is the only thing that may distract you from the food. After dinner, guests are encouraged to enjoy a single malt or two in front of the log fire in the bar.

See & do

Just two miles away, the picturesque village of Tarbert attracts many visitors. As well as fishing boats and yachts, you may glimpse the harbour’s visiting pod of dolphins.

Family-run hotel

Overlooking the Kyles of Bute, the family-run Royal an Lochan hotel in Tighnabruaich dates back to 1865. Now a comfortable and welcoming eleven bedroom hotel, it is surrounded by stunning scenery and the sound of lapping waves.

Part of Argyll’s Secret Coast, Royal an Lochan offers sea view rooms, lounges with open fires; superb seafood and is known for the best Scottish hospitality delivered by the excellent staff.

One of the beauties of The Royal an Lochan’s location, right on the shore at Tighnabruaich, is the wildlife. The lounge, patio, breakfast dining room and restaurant all provide the opportunity to spot not only porpoises but also otters, seals and herons. Just as important is the hospitable approach of the staff epitomised by the motto ‘you’re not a room number, you’re a person’.

Luxurious bedrooms

Luxurious and individually decorated, all eleven bedrooms are ensuite. Sea view rooms look onto the Kyles of Bute and across to the Isle of Bute. The beds are wonderfully comfortable with luxurious cotton sheets, cosy duvets and deep, comfortable pillows.

Fresh Scottish seafood

With spectacular views of the Kyles of Bute, the Deck Restaurant specialises in locally landed seafood. The kitchen uses the best fish and shellfish such as haddock and halibut, scallops, mussels, clams and langoustines sourced from Tarbert.

As an alternative to seafood, there is selection of chicken, duck, pork and beef dishes accompanied by seasonal vegetables.

The Shinty Bar serves a range of whisky, gins ales and lager. Inside the bar, there’s always a warm and friendly atmosphere, especially in the colder months when the wood burner runs at full throttle.

And the name of the bar? The walls are adorned with photos of Kyles Athletic Shinty team, one of the best shinty teams in Scotland. The photos date back to 1901 and are displayed along with other shinty memorabilia.

When the sun shining, visitors are welcome to eat outside and watch the yachts go by.

See & do in Argyll

The tranquil Argyll countryside surrounding The Royal an Lochan offers some off the best scenery on the West Coast of Scotland as well as fantastic bird-watching opportunities. The hills above Tighnabruaich boast three well stocked trout lochs and, if you are feeling energetic, the nine-hole golf course nearby has possibly the best views in the world. Boat trips, horse riding, fishing or visiting any of the area’s many historic sites also provide entertaining ways to while away the days.

Just a two hour drive from Glasgow, The Royal an Lochan is close enough to be convenient but hidden away enough to feel a long way from the city.
