We popped into the carradale to the carradale hotel for a drink on the first night of our stay and were looked after phenomenally by the owners. They had a wide range of drinks including a fantastic NA beer. They gave us loads of advice on the area and even provided us with a fantastic kilt buster breakfast. It would be a tremendous place and would definitely recommend coming back!

Carradale Hotel is a great visit, even though struggling for staff (like many) the food, drink and accommodation are to a high standard.

This is a lovely quiet place to stay. Food is very good and so is the welcome. Needs some attention to detail, flushing our toilet was an acquired skill but in general I can't complain.

Great food, clean well appointed room, wonderful hospitality and very peaceful spot. Returning to our honeymoon venue after 25 yrs it had changed a lot but we were not disappointed.
