Nature, at the top of Loch Awe, walkable to the Dam on Ben Cruhan and near the hidden-in-the-mountain, (Think James Bond) electric plant that offers tours. On train line that goes from Oban to Glasgow, transfer a few stops sooner to go up to the Great Glen, Fort Williams and the like.

Not bad
We had a nice stay. Have to say the bed was rather uncomfortable though. If you got to close to the edges it slumps. Small room but perfectly adequate. Its a nice area. Had a small picky dinner and drinks the night we were there. Very enjoyable. Skipped breakfast so cant comment on that.

Friendly Inn on Loch Awe
We had a wonderful stay at the Ben Cruachan Inn. Our room was large, comfortable and modern. Friendly and very helpful staff, and the food in the restaurant was fantastic. We loved hanging out at the bar / lounge area which was cozy and fun. Plenty of parking. Good room amenities (minus refrigerator). Lovely area within walking distance to Lock Awe and St Conan's Kirk, and a short drive to Kilchurn Castle. Would definitely recommend this hotel to others and would plan to stay here again in the future.

Great staff and great food. Excellent selection of whisky with staff on hand to lend a guiding hand. Room was very nice but bed could have been a bit more comfortable but still a very pleasant stay. Would recommend to anybody looking for a great place to stay
