We stayed there as a group of friends on a stag-do, taking 3 rooms, wanting a place to put our heads after a day and night on the tiles. The staff were excellent, even had the rooms prepared before the scheduled check in time and engaged in some cracking banter. They couldn't have been more helpful in suggesting places to... More

We won a Murder Mystery weekend at this hotel with a two night stay with dinner, bed and breakfast included. The hotel staff were very helpful, the room was fine and the food and service were excellent. The entertainment was good fun. Weather was good too, which was a bonus. I would definitely return for another stay in Dunoon.

I am delighted to hear that you have rejoined us and had an equally wonderful break with us. I will pass all your wonderful comments onto the staff to let them know to keep up the good work. As the hotel was built in 1867 it does have quite a few characteristic quirks which we have tried to adapt and... More

We had visited this hotel before and couldn't wait for our second 2 night visit on a deal, hoping that it would be as good as the first. We were not to be disappointed. Arrived for check in too early but the receptionist happily allowed us to store our luggage in their office. The double room was clean and tidy... More

After a lovely two night stay at the hotel my other half manged to drop our car key down the lift shaft, between the gap of the lift and the lift door, as we came down to the lobby to check out. With no car keys we were left stranded. This was a problem the staff had never experienced before... More

Front door locked on arrival mid afternoon, not a great start, an oversight maybe but after a long journey a tad annoying. Check in proved tiresome when we were wrongly advised we had booked 2 rooms, something later to be unfounded by the hotel but never apologised for! Room allocated on 3rd floor and having got up there, eventually, in... More

Well done! You survived the weekend to tell the tale! I am delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful time. The Murder Mysteries are incredible fun and with lots of other themes available throughout the year, there is something for everyone! Hopefully we will see you at one of our other events in the future. Kindest Regards Laura More

Just returned from a 2 night stay in the Argyll, and had a lovely time. The hotel in very impressive to look at from the outside when you first approach it, and is indeed a 'landmark' at the waterfront in Dunoon. Nice entrance which was very clean, bright and welcoming.
