All 16 rooms, bar one small double, are en-suite with plenty of piping hot water to hand. Soaps, shampoos and bath-oils from the island of Coll will ensure a relaxing welcome and if the island nights still prove a little chilly, then there's the tea-making facilities to be found in every room. Dining at the Argyll has always been a fine affair, and this year will be no exception with new opening times, A La Carte Menu, and of course our superb daily specials. The restaurant is naturally predicated upon offering the best of local produce as well as organic vegetables from our own garden.www.argyllhoteliona.co.ukArgyll Hotel, PA76 6SJ
