Portavadie Loch Fyne Scotland

Leisure facilities not what they used to be. Outside pool has always been a major pull for us and our extended family for day visits but cracked tiles not the best and everyone using it due to the cold indoor pool. Lovely cafe that once served reasonably priced lunch/snacks such as pizza, chips, coffees and cakes no longer in operation which is a shame it was perfect for after a swim - this was also noted by another patron on entering. This is now a large bare room housing 1 x table tennis, 1 x fussball and other family games on tables and a coffee vending machine which you pay for a reception and get a cup to fill. Not a pleasant space to sit, relax and take in the views like before with friends and family.

Stayed here on the last night of our campervan trip of the West Coast. Having had mixed weather we were in need of some nice hot showers! Our van plot was £35 for the night with electric hook up and water access right outside the door. This was very similar to the price of other sites we had stayed at during our trip. What made this an extra bargain was the facilities we had access to. Included in the £35 was access to the toilet and shower block. These were lovely and clean, plentiful and warm with nice toiletries (shower gel) provided. The drying room was a really good addition to dry off some of my wet things!! Fantastic views across Loch Fyne from the van! We used the pool area for £12pp. I thought it was worth it. Swimming pool, outdoor heated pool, hot tubs and a sauna all with beautiful views. We had our dog with us and he could not have been made more welcome- some nice little walks nearby for him too!! We had dinner in the restaurant and it was absolutely delicious!!! My partner had fish and chips and I had salmon ploughman’s. Massive portions and sooo tasty. The staff’s were great, special mention to Rory who gave us a takeaway box to take a goody-bag of leftovers back for the dog’s supper (he was also welcome in the restaurant- it was just for later!) Only downsides were that the road in (we drove rather than getting the ferry from Tarbert) was a bit hairy. Single track. But that of course isn’t the fault of the complex. Just might be tricky to get to in winter! Only other observation was that there weren’t many waste bins. Either to clear up after our dog or, to place rubbish from the campervan. We had a lovely time here and would definitely come back and recommend and come back! Thank you!

Luxury apartment #2 was absolutely amazing. On 2 levels overlooking the marina with breathtaking views right down to Arran in the distance. What could be more relaxing than looking out of the expansive glass windows? Bathed in natural light the kitchen/lounge area was THE place to relax in the morning sunshine and again with sunset glow in the hills. With a large outdoor balcony and a sauna, chilling is the name of the game. Comfortable beds, quality bedlinen and toiletries. Fully equipped kitchen if you were to cook. Light, bright and airy! The Spa was awesome with infinity pool, hot tubs and indoor pool/gym. So much to do here if you can be bothered, and if not, just relax in your surroundings. (Local walks/running tracks/bike hire.) New shepherds huts look incredible accommodation if you fancy a glamping experience - super luxe!! Great restaurant with beautiful food, altho breakfast was little underwhelming in terms on portion size/barista coffee being additional cost as well as some of the side orders which should been included in a Scottish breakfast. Afternoon coffee and cake was perfect on arrival. Would we return? Absolutely! Well done Team Portavadie, you make Argyle proud

A little bit of heaven. Stunning setting, friendly staff, great food and the accommodation was spotless. The best bit for me was the spa area, absolutely perfect especially the outdoor pool. I have wanted to visit for a while and it didn’t disappoint, I will definitely be back. Even the drive to get there is a pleasure

We had a fantastic chilled weekend away for my partners 40th. The facilities ,food, surroundings, and staff where amazing especially Jennifer from the SPA her knowledge of products she used and her recommendtions we superb. She really made us feel relaxed and comfortable. Tomas from the Marine restaurant was one of the best waiters we have came across nothing was to much trouble always had a smile on his face. Thank you to both Jennifer and Tomas for making this a very special weekend for us.

We stayed at Portavadie for 3 excellent nights. Immediately upon arrival the staff were friendly, professional and ver helpful. On looking at the view over the marina we upgraded our accommodation to take in the magnificent calming vista. There facilities and food are very good, all supported by a great team of staff who are only too willing to help. Beyond Portavadie, it is easy to take the ferry across to Tarbert and beyond for a day trip. I could not recommend Portavadie more and will return!

Excellent stay . Our second visit to Portavadie , staying in the Lodge this time as it was just the two of us. Staff friendly and helpful , we are both nights at the restaurant and the food was delicious. Spa treatment was excellent, Jennifer my therapist ...best hot stones I have had , thank you . Henry , young man, who works in the restaurant, very helpful and polite , went out of his way to make people feel welcome. Beautiful place , surroundings , leisure staff and facilities great. Thank you for a lovely weekend, we will be returning.

Fantastic stay in Portavadie for our anniversary. There was a card and chocolates in our room which we thought was a lovely touch. The lodge rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. Food in the Marina restaurant was lovely and all the staff were very warm and friendly. The spa facilities were excellent and we loved the outdoor pool and jacuzzis which overlooked stunning Loch Fyne. We would recommend and stay again.

There was a mixup initially about our room as I required an accessible room but this was efficiently sorted out and the staff went out of their way to remedy the error. The studio apartment was very comfortable and clean and very quiet. The food was delicious (both dinner and breakfast) and the leisure facilities were excellent. Our 2 year old granddaughter had a wonderful time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be back!
