I get the worst anxiety about doing that and our server was AMAZING about it. Everything was great. My crayfish bisque was legitimately the best soup I've had in my LIFE.

They referred us to the George and I was disappointed, but after experiencing the atmosphere at the George Hotel and having an incredible meal, I was DEFINITELY not disappointed. MMMMMMMMM

This was such a great little restaurant in a hotel, which was surprising but really lovely.

This review is for a stay for two nights in mid-July 2018…read more We stayed in a standard double room. The look of the hotel room is quite dated with lots of potential for updating. The hotel room also had an "old" smell. One thing to note was that it was unusually warm during our stay in Scotland. The rooms did not have an AC unit (or one that we could find). We also learned that the AC would not be turned on, but we do not know why. So, it was quite uncomfortable to sleep and hang out in the room. The bar/lounge, dining areas, and the stairwells, however, seemed to have AC. So, we tried not to be in our room unless for sleeping. We did not use the spa. We used the pool located indoors. It was larger than we expected and clean. The indoor hot tub beside the pool was working and soothing but the outside hot tub ("Canadian" hot tub) was not working. We did not need to be outside anyway since the pool and indoor hot tub was not crowded. We had dinner and breakfast for the two days and nights we stayed. Both meals were filling with adequate portions. The formal dining was fine and quiet but it was more relaxing to order and eat in the bar/lounge area with the couches and chairs. Meal service was excellent. As for the bar service, they were very accommodating with requests, even accompanying me and personally bringing bottled water and glasses to my room. I was surprised, though, that the bartenders did not know how to make a cocktail on their list. I appreciated that they informed me and were transparent rather than hide the fact and pretend to know. Once they looked up the recipe, the execution was excellent, and I readily and confidently enjoyed another cocktail. The remainder of the hotel seemed very clean. Wifi is available throughout the hotel. The feel of the hotel is an older ambience but the hotel guests varied from mature groups, families with school-aged children and teens, and young couples. The employees are very helpful and courteous, and seem to have an excellent work ethic. Location is great. Slightly removed from the town, but it is a very nice 5-10 minute walk to town.

We stayed here for the two nights on our tour and where not expecting much but really we where pleasantly surprised with the rooms that we where given as they where really nice, with the best views ever. Facilities The hotel had everything that you could ever want and more, jacuzzi, steam room and a hot tub sadly we didn't use any of them. Quite a few attractions nearby with plenty of shops & cafes. Food The hotel does have food on offer but we chose to dine out. I did see that the food that was served to other guests looked great & soup was served in a cup. But be aware that you may leave hungry with the portion size. Bar Looked rather like a nursing home with all the armchairs, beware also of the tartan overkill, chairs & carpets overall a good place.

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of our hike of the West Highland Way, and had the best time here! The staff was wonderful (although it's obvious that they were all horse thieves, pirates and highway men in an earlier life, they were so friendly and helpful, they made us feel very welcome). The food was great (I'm still dreaming about that delicious steak and Guinness pie). The atmosphere made you feel like you'd stepped back in time-- lamp light and muskets and stuffed puffins and a bear in a Drovers t-shirt and kilt. OK, maybe not TOTALLY historically accurate, but history mixed with wit and a sense of fun. They tell me this inn is haunted. It must be by friendly, fun-loving spirits. On our first night there was live music at the bar. We enjoyed the singer/ guitar & harmonica player very much, but it all kicked up a notch when he got the whole room to join in on the singing. Everyone was clapping, stomping and pounding the table, while belting out a rousing rendition of "The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond". I can't remember enjoying a meal more. On our second night there, the power went out (thank you, Hurricane Amy). The staff showed that although they are retired horse thieves and pirates, they take their current jobs in hospitality very seriously. They could not complete cooking of the evening meals, so it was a quick pivot to sandwiches for all. They handled it with professionalism and grace that made the inconvenience part of the adventure (as one staff member quipped, it was all part of the haunted experience). Breakfast, too, was pulled together with what was available and ingenuity, as they made instant coffee and tea with water heated on the wood stove, and we feasted on cold cereal and granola bars. But as the staff met the challenges with good humor and made the best effort to make it a good experience for the guests, we walked away with an abundance of good memories and an enduring fondness for the Drovers Inn (and its resident horse thieves, pirates and highway men).

We were in the area for the Loch Fyne Food Fair and it was handy travel wise. We had a very warm welcome from the owners Jenifer and Alastair who are the friendliest people you will meet. The house itself is an elegant Victorian country house with pretty gardens that you can sit outside in, although the weather wouldn't allow it this time. There are splendid views over Loch Fyne to Inverary. Our room was at the front of the house and had a magnificent 4-poster bed and was immaculately decorated. The bathroom was modern and spotless. There is an inviting drawing room that you can use with a fire and glasses for you to have a drink. The breakfast was delicious and we were offered recommendations for restaurants which Jenifer booked for us. The guest house is near to Loch Fyne Oyster Bar and Inverary for sightseeing. I would highly recommend a stay here and hope to return again.

We have a 6 week old baby and it's so nice when staff are understanding of the difficulties faced at times with a newborn. The staff seated us next the fire so that we were warm and away from drafts. The food is wholesome but doesn't really rock the tastebuds. My starter of breaded Brie was done well and Hubby's lentil soup was piping hot (a must for soup!). Both were palatable and enjoyable. I opted for lasagne which was served with salad and chips. It almost reminded me of a school lunch in that it was comforting. Hubby's burger was well seasoned and quite tasty! Dessert was homemade profiteroles in chocolate sauce. It was tasty but didn't rock the tastebuds. It's a little out the way from Glasgow as it's just outside of Kilwinning.
