"I stayed here for two nights by myself. The guy who owns the place is friendly and put on a nice continental breakfast (salmon, cheese, eggs, fruit, yogurt, cereal, and brewed coffee). The bed was comfortable too. The building and furniture are pretty dated though and in need of upgrading. My room door lock was also temperamental. However, that said it was clean overall and the host mentioned he’s actively renovating, which is good to hear as it’s got potential to be a beautiful building...

Royal Marine Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff extremely pleasant and very helpful. Nothing was too much bother. Breakfast was excellent as was dinner on Friday night. Loved the very thick large beautiful towels. Parking was no problem. Very easy access to ferry to. Gourock Will certainly stay again."

Knockderry Country House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lots of character, dining excellent, breakfast less so with limited range of non cooked foods."

Portavadie

8/10 Good

"Lovely overnight stay b&b . Included was 90mins in gym + 90mins in pool area. It was a beautiful day so we used outdoor pool and jacuzzi. Good breakfast choice. We were a bit disappointed with the evening restaurant menu so ate elsewhere."

The Glenburn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Been upgraded since our last stay. New bathrooms fitted out, fresh bedroom carpet. Always spotlessly clean anyway. Breakfast great and barman on in the evening was very pleasant and helpfully, see you next year. If you are not eating in the hotel in the evening, highly recommend The Waterfront restaurant."

Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"great trip and a lovely hotel. would recommend"

Rosslea Hall Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location and lovely rooms. The bed was super comfy and we had a great sleep. Though hotel was very busy it was also very quiet. The hotel is also very pet welcoming. Only food available in the evening was in the bar and to be honest the menu is not appropriate for a large hotel with only 4 starters ( of which one was unavailable) and six main courses - 4 of which came with boiled rice. This really needs improvement. The waitress ( there was only one) was lovely, very busy but also very courteous , attentive and friendly. Breakfast was continental but lots to chose from and good, fresh produce. Would absolutely stay again but unless menu changes would eat in nearby Helensburgh."

Brisbane House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Centrally located in the town close to amenities and ferry port."
