“A star still glows in Dunoon”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 31, 2013

4 nights at the Esplanade with a coach party of Senior Citizens really made me think about the difficulties faced by owners. I have now come to the conclusion that they can not really win with all the different needs of diet, disabilities, preferences and individual tastes. So to be fair to this ageing Hotel they do the most important... More

Typical Dunoon style Hotel on the waterside with superb views across the Clyde. Rooms were warm , clean and comfortable with all facilities , bath/shower a bit old fashioned with mixer taps for the shower but plenty hot water.
