Join us this April as we mark a special milestone in the heart of Argyll

On the 1st of April, we’re raising a glass to celebrate 9 wonderful years of Ben Cruachan Inn — and what an incredible journey it has been.

Nestled on the shores of Loch Awe, in the heart of Argyll, Ben Cruachan Inn has become a place where travellers, walkers, food lovers, and locals alike come together to relax, recharge, and experience the very best of the Scottish Highlands. From cosy stays to hearty meals and unforgettable views, the past nine years have been filled with memorable moments — and we couldn’t have done it without you.

A Thank You to Our Guests

Over the years, we’ve welcomed visitors from across Scotland, the UK, and around the world — many of whom return time and time again. Whether you joined us for a weekend break, stopped by for lunch on a Highland road trip, or celebrated a special occasion with us, you’ve all played a part in our story.

Your support, kind reviews, and recommendations have helped us grow into one of Loch Awe’s most loved places to stay and dine.

Celebrating Local Food & Highland Hospitality

At the heart of Ben Cruachan Inn is a passion for great food and warm Scottish hospitality. Over the past nine years, we’ve focused on:

  • Serving locally sourced, seasonal ingredients
  • Showcasing the best of Scottish produce
  • Creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for all

From comforting classics to fresh, flavourful dishes, our kitchen has been proud to offer something for everyone — whether you're visiting after a day exploring Argyll or simply popping in for a great meal with a view.

A Unique Place to Stay in Argyll

Located beside Loch Awe and beneath the dramatic slopes of Ben Cruachan, the inn offers a truly special setting for a Highland escape.

Guests choose Ben Cruachan Inn for:

  • Stunning lochside views
  • Easy access to walking, cycling, and local attractions
  • A peaceful base to explore Argyll and the west coast of Scotland

Over the years, we’ve seen countless sunrises over the loch, changing seasons across the mountains, and guests falling in love with this incredible corner of Scotland — just as we did.
