Crinan Hotel Garden

The 2018/19 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £7.95 (+p&p).

With one of the great locations on the west coast, perched over the sea lock of the Crinan Canal and looking out over islands, inlets and heather-covered peaks, the hotel has a great reputation for seafood feasts in its Westward restaurant and less formal bar.
