Empire Travel Lodge

Great hosts, very clean and big room, very good breakfast, excellent wifi, free parking

The room was a little bit humid during the night so it was cold

Ele and Jim were so welcoming and friendly. The bed was really comfortable. They allowed me to check out late with only a small surcharge, which was very good of them. The full breakfast was delicious. There’s a Morrison’s round the corner to buy snacks and drinks. There’s also an excellent Indian restaurant round the corner called Taj Mahal.

The toilet cistern in Room 8 took 5 minutes to refill. I would have liked a fridge in the room.

We had a lovely stay. It was exactly the dog friendly place we were looking for. Quiet neighbourhood so had a good night's sleep. Nice breakfast too.

Ele and Jim are so nice, excellent breakfast. Warm welcome.

Super breakfast

Chair made a loud n noise

We loved our stay with Eli and Jim, they are very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. Our room was very comfortable, there's secure parking behind the hotel, and the vegetarian breakfast/coffee were fantastic. The promenade by the loch is a pleasant place to walk or to sit, and the surrounding countryside is lovely (we went to Tayvallich and Carsaig which are definitely worth visiting) although Lochgilphead itself feels a little rundown in places. The Horseshoe Inn in Bridgend is a great place to eat and only a short drive from the hotel, but gets very busy so it's important to book. Dunadd Fort is full of history, a nice walk, and not far from Lochgilphead.
