SANDRINEFranceUn séjour agréable
Très joli emplacement. Accueil chaleureux. Au calme . Le restaurant propose de bons repas.
Le canapé-lit un peu juste pour un adulte de grande corpulence
MichelleUnited KingdomLovely setting but very disappointed.
Mouldy bread was unacceptable and put us right off. Asked to speak to the manager but she wasn't there until 12pm!
TV didn't work until we found out the extension lead it was plugged into had a 10 amp fuse in it. Swapped…
Dorothy LucksAustraliaWorth it in many different ways.
Really homely and comfy. Great staff and service. Location is stunning and not far from Oban with good bus service.
No complaints at all.

What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Lochnell Arms Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at Lochnell Arms Hotel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Lochnell Arms Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Lochnell Arms Hotel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Lochnell Arms Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Lochnell Arms Hotel?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Lochnell Arms Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Lochnell Arms Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
Where is Lochnell Arms Hotel?
