Craigard House Hotel was originally built in 1882 for a prosperous whisky distiller. It's a striking building in honey sandstone with a Florentine tower and huge bay windows. The house stands in an acre of land bordering Campbeltown Loch and close to the harbour. The original family stayed at Craigard until 1942 after which the house suffered variable fortunes and by 1995 it was semi-derelict. It was then lovingly restored and opened as a bijou hotel in 1997. Today it offers twelve comfortable and well-appointed rooms, many with glorious sea views. Amongst them are a four poster room with a super king double, five family rooms (double or king size double) with one single bed (all but one with sea view); one family room with king size double and two single beds (front and side sea view); four double rooms (two with sea view); and one single room.

The hotel is well-known for its outstanding food. The Lochside Restaurant serves excellent cuisine lovingly prepared by the renowned local celebrity Chef, Joanne Baird, and her team with freshly caught seafood and home-made produce a speciality.
