Kames Hotel

Kames Hotel

8/10 Good
"Warm welcome by excellent staff despite limited operating hours. Very good food both for dinner in its own restaurant and bar, and breakfast in its separate dining room. Outside seating area perfect for a drink in the sunshine with fantastic views of the yachts and boats on the estuary and beyond to Isle of Bute. No lift but adequate bedroom with good looking shower which however contained no gran bars, no soap tray, and no toiletries inside the shower cubicle. Solely a rainfall shower. Overall a very comfortable well situated hotel in a quiet location and small viiiage where required good dining facilities in house with alternatives a good walk away. Decent value and would stay again if the opportunity arises."

The Foresters Guest House

10/10 Excellent
"The Foresters was an exceptional location. They have put a lot of work into the place and take pride in the service and facility they provide. We had a horrible experience previously in Edinburgh so we were a bit concerned and we were more than happy and grateful for the wonderful place Heather and her family have provided. We felt valued as guests and were just so grateful we had two nights there. It is located close to the 3 restaurants and coffee house in inverkip and a short walk to a small grocery store. I highly recommend choosing the Foresters House to anyone considering a visit to Inverkip!"
