Best food for you and family
Beautiful surroundings, great food and ambience.
We just visited for a meal so cannot comment on the rooms. A lovely location with a traditional pub feel inside. Friendly staff and the food is good and wholesome.

Great place, very welcoming, good choice of beer (2 different cask ales on draught), food well made, delicious (check the daily specials board), generous but not ridiculous portions, very nice desserts. Staff really accommodating, professional and a good laugh

With the fantastic efforts of the SSE teams and local trades working long long hours into the night we now have power back at Kingarth and will be back open from 12 noon.

It was some damage clearing the Roads to kingarth yesterday with council boys and Mount Stuart forestry team to let the boys get to the power station and access for any Emergency vehicles Absolute carnage but we got there and big hats off to the boys at sse for getting the power back on they deserve a medal and a big wage cheers lads.❤️❤️😎👍
Glad you are all safe at KB and have power xx♥️♥️⭐️⭐️🙏

Despite all the SSE boys working flat out, we have had to call off the BJAC burns supper as power not back on.
Hopefully the BJAC committee will be able to rearrange for next Friday.
Kingarth Hotel will be closed for the remainder of the day, but really hoping to be back open from tomorrow lunchtime.
So sorry for all the inconvenience Eowyn has much to answer for! 😖 … See MoreSee Less
