"A really impressive building - we’ve passed by before and always hoped to stay here. The building is quirky and has so much going for it… probably several £££ million to bring it up to 4* standards, but the staff were super friendly and the room we were assigned was brilliant and had lovely views over the port. Also accommodated for our dog which was really appreciated. The restaurant served a great dinner too and the Scottish breakfast gave us a cracking start on our onward journey. Thank you !"

"Lovely peaceful setting and has everything you need. Only minor issues we had was bedroom was lovely but not much room to move and shower was a bit temperamental and was sometimes a problem to regulate but nothing a bit of patience didnt sort. Unfortunately we never got to use the hot tub due to swarms of midges which was just one of them things. Overall if your looking for peace and quiet its great and recommend feeding the birds as there is a bird feeder. Was lovely to watch and had a red squirrel visiting most days. Only 20 minutes from Dunoon and recommend the Lorne for food but its advisable to book a table as was very busy."
