Cosy bolt-hole for the independent traveller
What is not clear from the Hotels website is that this is a self-check-in with all contact with the host through text (though they are available should you need them) and no room servicing through your stay, so you have to realise what you're signing up for. Having said that - very clean, admirably white linens, everything you'd need in a well-thought--out and spacious though cosy room in a pretty and traditional house. The village itself is attractive, and the house is well-situated for shops, pub, marina, parking and (steep hill) train station. It's also a good base for exploring with good road and rail connections.

The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, and there were good choice of teas and coffees in the room. Ordering breakfast by text was strange but there was a wide variety of options which could be eaten in the bedroom. The key code confirmed by text was efficient, safe and easy to operate.

Absolutely perfect. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in the area. Good people always on hand but not in any way intrusive. Great location too.

Very comfortable room - clean and well decorated with good shower room - close to station and Main St. Helpful owners. The only downside is that breakfast options are limited and is taken in the bedroom which may not suit everybody.

The B&B is very nice and check in was easy. The room was nice. This is a B&B so Breakfast is Included but - if you want eggs now that's 3 euros, but I want eggs & bacon isn't that included? nope sorry 7 Euros extra! This was a shocker and one of those we got you items. The breakfast was great and tasty but having to pay for eggs??? really!!!! So if you are fine with that the B&B was nice but eggs included please!

Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your room. We are sorry that you were angry about our pricing policy. We took the decision several yours ago to offer a choice of cooked items including a full cooked breakfast to give our guests a choice. We did not include the cost of a cooked breakfast in our pricing policy as many of our guests were vegetarians, vegans, people with high cholesterol and people who were concerned about their weight. We felt that it would be unfair for them to pay for a cooked breakfast when they did not wish one. B&Bs of similar quality in this area charge a higher price than us which reflects their including a cooked breakfast in their pricing. Even adding £4 for your bacon and eggs to our prices you would have been paying less.. Our Lifestyle Breakfast has 22 choices on it and most people are very happy with this. Others choose to spend a small additional cost for a cooked breakfast. We use the very best of products from an award winning butcher and our guests have been more than happy with this. We will continue to operate this policy in the future as the result of feedback is that our guests like to be given the choice. We hope you enjoyed your complimentary biscuits with your tea and coffees and your special Scottish fudge and all the other additional complimentary extras.

no single room pictures on internet
There no pictures on the internet or Foresters website of the single rooms that we were placed in upon arrival. This is very misleading and very disappointing especially when the Rhona´s (the hostess) only comment was "what do you expect for 39 pounds?". The pictures of the exterior cottage rooms should be shown on all of the published websites of this facility in order for guests to know what they are booking.

Thank you for your feedback which i find very disappointing and misleading. There are pictures of the cottage rooms on the websites and it is very difficult to book these rooms without seeing them. I couldn’t understand why your wife became rude and abusive when she saw the rooms and I did ask “ what did you expect for £39? This was a question not a statement. I have yet to hear the answer! These rooms are suitable for single occupancy, very clean, fully ensuite, own heating T.V good Wifi and comfortable, as described. I think the problem was with you and your wife not the room.

Great location for Clyde coast
Travelling on my own l was soon put at ease by my welcoming host. Extremely clean and homely B&B at an affordable price. Excellent breakfast in attractive dining room. I would highly recommend this as a great base for the beautiful west Scottish coastline, plus Glasgow just half hour away, best of both worlds.

A good place to stay not far from Glasgow
On the west coast of Scotland, not far from Glasgow, Inverkip is a small but highly welcoming city in front of the see. Forrester family honours the legendary hospitality of Scotland and will do their best to make your stay a trip to remember. The room is small but well-furnished and beds are comfortable. The breakfast served in the room is generous. A welcome booklet presents the good deals not to be missed around Inverkip. If you come by car, there is multiple option to park around the house. If you’re a golfer, you will have the choice of 10 different courses 10 miles around. ------------- Sur la côte ouest de l’Écosse, non loin de Glasgow, Inverkip est une petite ville très accueillante face à la mer. La famille Forrester honore l’hospitalité légendaire de l’Écosse et fera de son mieux pour faire de votre séjour un voyage inoubliable. La chambre est petite mais bien meublée et les lits sont confortables. Le petit déjeuner servi en chambre est copieux. Un livret d’accueil présente les bons plans à ne pas manquer autour d’Inverkip. Si vous venez en voiture, il y a plusieurs options pour se garer autour de la maison. Si vous êtes un golfeur, vous aurez le choix entre 10 parcours différents à 10 miles à la ronde.
