Great house, comfortable room with great views, nice and quiet location, superb breakfast that will keep you going all day. Excellent host with a friendly disposition and sense of humour. Will stay again next time we travel this way.
This B&B is located on Holy Lock. We stayed in the Heron room overlooking the Loch. The room was spacious, clean and tidy with tea and coffee. Richard, the proprietor, was very welcoming taking time to show us around, he even provided fresh milk for our cup of tea after a long journey. The bed was huge and very comfortable allowing a very satisfying good night sleep. Breakfast consisted of cereals, fresh fruit and yogurt, toast and a freshly cooked full Scottish breakfast which was delicious and filling. Richard certainly knows how to look after his guests and I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone thinking of staying in Dunoon.
