It’s a charming older hotel with a lot of character. Rooms are quiet, clean & tidy. Stayed for a week & was extremely comfortable. Used their restaurant for all the breakfasts and sometimes their lunch or dinner menu’s too. There were a variety of options on the menu, good value and very satisfying.

Great escape with incredible views.
Have just had a wonderful 2 night stay. The outside is magnificent, but at night it has such a magical feel to it. We had dinner both nights in the bar area and it was idyllic and had a cosy feel to it. The fireplace was one of my favourite things, I have a great love of old decor and I adored the mix of old and new decor. The portions were incredible generous and would definitely recommend the burgers!. It’s been beautiful renovated throughout and I loved the country cottage style decor feel of our room. I think it’s a wonderful touch that all the rooms are named after paddle steamers and boats. The staff were all so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The views are incredible too, both during the day and the twinkling lights at night.

Nice hotel and bar with a friendly atmosphere. Good value for money. Large parking area. With single glass windows and no heater the bathroom was a bit cold. Not a big problem though. Will stay again when in Helensburgh

Lovely hotel
Friendly staff and lovely clean fresh room. We didn’t eat there but the food looked good. Only issue was check in and out. Had to ring the reception bell multiple times then go to bar and ask for help. If you fix this issue it will be a perfect place to stay. Would definitely go back

Very friendly staff from all parts of the team (restaurant, bar and hotel). Extremely clean and comfortable with a view to being eco-friendly. The restaurant for breakfast, lunch & dinner was high quality & value with a variety of choices. Had a small problem with logging onto the Wi-Fi at one point and seemed to be a little slow, but not really a big deal.

Good stay, bad shower pressure.
The stay as a whole was very pleasant. The room, clean, the decor, very nice. My only 'gripe', is that the water pressure for the shower was terrible. I felt I had to run around in the shower to get wet. It was little more than a dribble and I felt I had to stand with my nose against the wall to get under the water. I took ages to have a wash!

Nice place, indifferent service
The hotel is undergoing refurbishment, which is nearly finished. I expect the upheaval wasn't helpful. It's a nice place, but the service was slow and at times indifferent.

A comfortable 3 day business stay
Recently refurbished room made the stay far more comfortable than my last stay. It is however a shame that the drafty windows were not also included in the significant renovations. The staff were brilliant and the food offer is great but please someone taste the hollandaise and rethink it. Fortunately I was lucky to try it before pouring on to nicely cooked salmon. Overall, a very pleasant stay and I will stay again although I think the new rooms will make the place very popular.

We got a brand new room and it was lovely it was booked as a triple but wasn’t a lot of space should have been a double as when the sofa bed was pulled out there was no room at all and a table we had in room was blocking room door when bed was out , the room was lovely and fresh and spotless only downfall to the room was the window let in a draft so room was very cold in the morning trying to get ready , checking in the staff were absolutely lovely

Location was stunning. Didnt like the run down look and smell of the place, needs decorating and updating, would benefit from new carpets, curtains and shower cubicles, fire doors upstairs were constantly banging as people used them, not good for someone needing to sleep. The price paid reflects what it is and I would pay more if all matters were attended to.

Disappointing- refurbishment needed
Disappointing stay. Hotel in need of major overhaul as very dated. Plumbing in particular is poor with old electric shower and hot water to sink that took 2 minutes to get hot! Cooking smells from kitchen permeated room. Staff not very friendly.
