4-Star Historic Castle Hotel with Panoramic Loch Fyne Views and 60-Acre Woodland Grounds
Rooms & Suites
Stonefield Castle Hotel offers 38 individually decorated en-suite bedrooms, each with its own character and original furnishings. Many rooms overlook Loch Fyne, providing direct water views from the windows. Select rooms like Room 28 or 34 have been recently renovated and include four-poster beds or separate lounges.
Dining
The award-winning restaurant serves traditional Scottish cuisine with ingredients sourced from local suppliers and a menu that changes seasonally. Guests dine with panoramic floor-to-ceiling views of Loch Fyne, and the restaurant manager remembers dietary requirements from dinner to breakfast. For guests with dogs, the 1837 Bar offers the same menu with cosy fireplaces and dedicated pet bowls.
Grounds & Activities
The hotel sits on 60 acres of woodland grounds with rhododendron gardens, labelled walking trails, and a private bridge to Barmore Island for perimeter walks. Private moorings on Loch Fyne allow guests to fish directly from the jetty, and the estate offers exclusive garden access for leisurely exploration. Activities include wildlife spotting, with dolphins occasionally sighted from the dining room, and walks to Tarbert Castle via the hotel's woodland paths.
Pet-Friendly Services
Dogs are welcomed in all areas of the hotel, including bedrooms, bar, and lounges, with no restricted zones. The hotel provides pet bowls, a sausage at breakfast in a dedicated bowl, and water bowls throughout the bar area. Grounds offer unfenced off-lead walking, and staff can arrange a dog-friendly dining table in the 1837 Bar.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel is situated 2 miles from Tarbert village, a fishing village with local shops and restaurants, and 10 minutes from Kennacraig Ferry Terminal to Islay and the Hebrides. Inveraray Castle & Gardens and Kilmartin Glen, a significant archaeological landscape, are within a short drive. The location provides access to the Kintyre Way, Robert the Bruce's hilltop castle, and small beaches like Shell Beach.
