"Property is ideally located on Bute. Beautiful views from the front porch. People tend to sit out there and smoke so not too relaxing if you want to breathe fresh air. The bar tender was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. The food was typical of Scotland. The hotel is very old is it is what was expected of a hotel of that age."

"We found everything at the resort to be excellent. We did not have time to take advantage of the pools and exercise equipment, nor some of the other facilities available. The restaurant buffet breakfasts were superb. However, we did not like the burgers, which were required by law to be well done."

"Excellent value with all you need with parking onsite, communal kitchen and free Wi Fi. Ideally located close to Greenock town centre and the train station for direct trains to Glasgow. Bit rough and ready around the edges but hard to fault unless you're expecting top end luxury. John was very helpful too."

"This was a perfectly acceptable stay. Some changed to the rooms were noted...great showers, new curtains. But same old furniture and carpet.
