The Oyster Inn - Argyll Bute

Excellent hotel for good food, friendly staff and clean rooms. Will definitely be back. Great value for money. Only criticism was no bin for dog poo but recent storm seemingly carried it away.

We are visiting the area so weren’t too sure where to book for dinner and the Oyster Inn was the nearest to us. Booked a table by the fire in the bar and had the Christmas Dinner. Absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive and it had a lovely atmosphere in the bar with a good choice of lager and wines. Would definitely recommend.

Another good restaurant bites the dust. The Oyster Inn used to be all about well cooked honest food at a reasonable (for a tourist area) price. Sorry to report that pretensions have taken over, where there was once a great Steak Pie, there are now Textures of Beetroot , great whole fish have been replaced by about an inch of 'Stone Bass ' whatever that is, for a bit under £30.00 . You could eat cheaper and have a slice of cauliflower for just under £20.00, sauces are bland, micro herbs are everywhere. It 's like someone read a Jamie Oliver cookbook several years ago and then tried to put dishes together. The word soup is possibly the most digestible part of the menu.

Hotel room was ok Food well overpriced in the restaurant, 3 scallops on a plate that were cold, my wife did complain and nothing was done about it. Breakfast was overcooked, no toast was offered, no croissants left either. We certainly won’t be back. Oh a small bottle of wine and a pint of lager was £19 (at least dick Turpin wore a mask)

Really disappointed stay after travelling from Mull, looking forward to a nice restaurant meal and overnight stay. Room 18 was cold and tatty overlooking the car park at the rear of the property. Restaurant was closed we were allocated a table in the bar right in front of a huge TV whereby everyone was watching the football, decided this table was not for us and offered to wait, then allocated a table In front of a smaller TV again felt like we were being watched whilst eating our meal. Moved as soon as we had eaten. If restaurant is not open should have been notified, totally different menu, not half the selection viewed on the website. One the plus side good hot water for a shower.
