Angus_Young Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Going there this weekend, looking for recommendations for things to do, restaurants and pubs etc. Stayed at the George Hotel last year and enjoyed it. Food was pretty good for the evening meal. Breakfast the next morning was excellent. the Jail is well worth a visit. Doesn't look much from the outside but was very interesting and I think we spent a good 90 mins in there. Mrs Angus Young was preggars at the time so we couldn't indulge but it looks like a cracking wee town to sit and have a few beers in the sun. If, ike us, that's not possible then there are some decent walks up round the Castle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) The Gothic folly on Dun na Cuaiche is a gentle climb from the castle and offers superb views over Loch Fyne. As Angus says, you can't go wrong with the George. Edited April 20, 2015 by Charlie Endell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleboyblue Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The Indian round from the Pier Shop is pretty good, well based on the one time I have been in anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

they've_been_suckered Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 You can take a walk up the hill beside the castle up to the viewpoint up to the top. (need suitable walking footwear on forest road) Nice wee pint in front of the fire at the George Hotel if you get rained on! If it's Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa you're going to it's really excellent.

Jagtag Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 The Gothic folly on Dun na Cuaiche is a gentle climb from the castle and offers superb views over Loch Fyne. My dad took me up there when I was about 8 years old. I've been back to inveraray about 10 times since and always take a walk up. fantastic view. Last time I was there I stayed in the Argyll hotel overlooking the loch. Food in the George is better but it gets very busy. Sunday lunch is especially good but you need to get in early. ( or sit at the bar and wait for a table) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it up there; used to have a relative that lived in Minard and enjoyed many a holiday on the banks of Loch Fyne as a bairn.

That happened to us too, my step mum was pregnant at the time and still made it up the front. Last time I was there in 2011 the path up was closed so we went up the front again.

GRBear Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The castle is also worth a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
