David Ross left this review about Argyll Arms Hotel

One of numerous pubs and hotels in Argyll with the same name, this seems to be the most popular drinking venue in the home village of late Labour Party leader John Smith. Coming in from the street, it wasn’t immediately obvious where the bar was. Unlike the well signposted entrances to the restaurant and the residential areas, the bar door resembled the access to a cupboard. I wasn’t the only stranger to experience this problem, as another man appeared shortly afterwards, at the corridor window, asking where the bar was. Having found my way in, however, I discovered a very attractive, cosy, if rather small pub. A pint of Belhaven Best cost me £2.70. Loch Lomond Brewery Ale, Guinness and Tennent’s and Carling lagers are also on draught. It was busy although there were only about ten customers and it’s just a pity the limited space can’t accommodate more.
