Stunning Country Inn for Sale

Fantastic location - a tourist hotspot

The hotel is delightfully situated just off the A83 on the upper reaches of Loch Fyne in Argyll, equidistant to both Loch Lomond and Inveraray – just a short 20-minute drive in either direction. Visitors have given rave reviews, citing a haven of sparkling views, high mountains, magnificent woodlands and rivers. There have been many awards along the way!

Functions, weddings & events

The hotel caters for smaller, more intimate parties or bigger events: up to 70 guests for a sit down meal and up to 100 for evening entertainment. There have been many special and memorable occasions celebrated at the Cairndow Stagecoach Inn; weddings, anniversaries, big birthdays, christenings and Hogmanay parties. One guest has been coming every new year’s eve with his family for over 30 years - with the only exception being the Covid times!

Notable guests and visitors from the history books:

JOHN KEATS, 17th July 1818
’we were up at four this morning and have walked to breakfast fifteen miles through two tremendous glens; at the head of the first there is a place called Rest and be Thankful, which we took for an inn; it was nothing but a stone and we were cheated into five more miles to breakfast. I have just been bathing in Loch Fyne, a salt water lake opposite the window’.

DOROTHY WORDSWORTH, on a return visit in 1822
’we now sit in a quiet, cleanly bedroom...tea comfortly set out - civil attendants, and nothing wanting. In the kitchen there is a fine blazing coal fire...’

QUEEN VICTORIA, 29th September 1875
’.... changed horses at a small inn called Cairndow where the dear little Campbell children are staying, and who were at the windows-such lovely children! There were a few people collected, and the harness as well as the horses had to be changed, and a pair of leaders put on to pull us up the long steep ascent in Glenkinglas’.

In more recent times, the Cairndow Inn has played host to Robbie Coltrane, Paul McCartney, Gerry Rafferty to name a few! 

A new era for a new owner

The Cairndow Stagecoach Inn’s history dates back to 1780 with the record books showing a Dugal Paul as the Innkeeper until perhaps 1841. It changed hands a number of times until 1965 when Roddy Fraser took tenancy, then ownership in 1978. Roddy’s son Douglas later took over the hotel and it was at this time he met his wife Catherine. They went on to create a successful business whilst raising their three children who all played an active part in the hotel before starting their own families and careers. The hotel has been brilliantly run by tenant Shaun and his team for the last few years – but it’s time to hand over the mantle to the next aspiring and ambitious new owner – that could be you!
