Inveraray would come high up a list of places to stay if requiring a base from which to explore Argyll by road. It is the main intersection for the roads to Glasgow, Oban, and the Cowal and Kintyre Penninsulas and is an attractive place overlooking Loch Fyne just down the road from the famous Loch Fyne Oyster Bar. THe Castle and Jail in Inveraray are worth visiting and the town hosts good cultural and music festivals.
Private small hotels can (though not as a rule!) be the best and most exclusive accommodation to be found anywhere in Britain and are often to be found in converted country houses in the most beautiful gardens or on mini-estates. They can usually be booked on a full-board or Bed and Breakfast basis but expect tariffs to be at the more expensive end of the market. Learn more about accommodation types
