Stopped for a pint. Glad we did, probably the best pint of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland. Lovely old bar with lots of character, barman good for a yarn, ask about the bell! We didn't stay but spoke with anglers staying and they said it was very good.

Avoid breakfast!
Dont pay extra for a "continental" breakfast - really not worth it. Toast, tea, very small bowl of even smaller fruit bits - sure most of it was frozen! And dont forget the half raw croissant!

Owners were lovely, the bar had great cask ale and a very welcoming relaxed vibe. Food looked really good, but the property is a bit tired. Bedroom super clean and comfortable. Overall great value.

We had an excellent meal at the Cuilfail. I had one of the best meals, steak pie, I’ve ever had eating out anywhere. All our family had great food and drinks all served by the landlady who is a gem, so friendly and attentive. The place is old and quirky but real ! If you get a chance go to this pub/hotel, have food or stay. The hill Road across from pub over to Dalavich and Avich falls is a great reason to go to the Cuilfail alone it’s amazing!

We were staying nearby and booked for dinner. It's recommended you book if you want to bring your dogs. Quirky little bar with a log burner making it very cosy. A lovely lady with long curly hair waited on us, and took our orders etc. There wasn't a long wait for our food as it wasn't that busy. Food was delicious 😋 I would definitely go back for food. Can't comment on the rest of the hotel though

Very hospitable service by the kind patrons. Highly recommended. Good, diverse breakfast, excellent dinner, cosy pib. The atmosphere is great, of times gone by. Plenty to enjoy in terms of day-trips, incl taking the ferry to explore nearby Isle of Mull, Oban, and the botanical gardens, some 10 mins from the hotel, with magnificent viewpoints.

I was a lorry driver passing past I suffer from bad stomach pains and required a tolite stop in here and was greeted by the manger I requested to use the tolite and he was very polite and very welcoming even though I wasn't a customer the reception was very clean and tidy and so were the tolites people that put other ppl first instead of making a sale deserve the utmost respect and deserve the business couldn't thank them enough great hotel 😀
