St Ives Boutique Hotel

Kenny and Lesley were excellent hosts, very friendly, helpful and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble for them. Room was great, views from the lounge were brilliant and food was also excellent. Hotel is in a great location, just walk through the garden and that is you onto the promenade and 5 minutes takes you into town. Car parking right at the front door. Highly recommend.

The hotel was very good breakfast was great and very professional service from Lesley the room was very nice and clean beds were comfortable the small bar was a nice touch Kenny was very friendly and helpful with any information my wife and I had a great time and we will return in the near future thank you very much Kenny and Lesley for a great time David and May Nicol

Had a lovely 3 day stay with my sister. Very friendly owners, and the whole hotel was spotless and tastefully decorated. It's in a lovely position on the promenade, and very close to town centre. A short drive to Benmore Gardens and Pucks Glen, which is spectacular I can Firsthighly recommend this hotel.

The breakfast is outstanding with some great choices. The bed is very comfy. The hotel also has a smart lounge overlooking the loch although we did not use it. What was disappointing was the relatively small window in our room overlooking the loch and the very large sofa bed which meant that it was not possible to sit and enjoy the view from the room. The other disappointment was the shower room which fell as if it had been built into an extended cupboard as the doors into it were 2 cupboard doors! Whilst the facilities in the room were fine they were not luxury. Also be aware that there are not many restaurants in Dunoon and they get fully booked. We eventually found somewhere on our 7th call!

I cannot speak highly enough about lesley and the St ives !!! Rooms amazing , food amazing! Care and compassion amazing!! We had a very last minute booking Monday morning, arrived Monday afternoon- and I wish I never had to leave. It was a wee safe haven for me - having an extremely difficult time in my life - it gave me an escape! Much needed. Perfect place to be.

As a non driver I wanted somewhere to stay were transport wasn’t needed, the well located St Ives, is a short walk from Dunoon Pier along Victoria Parade a wide footpath by the water, leading you up the garden path to the door. I booked the Little Cumbrae a single room, described as compact and cosy, so I was expecting a fairly small room and wasn’t disappointed. I’ve never found this an issue when I’m asleep or not there, once in bed the room didn’t feel small, if you need more space, for reading, watching television or just looking out of a bigger window the lounge is next door. The views over the Bay from the Little Cumbrae provide a pleasant start to the day, as does the en-suite with shower, (every thing nice and clean). All the quality extras I’d hope for and frequently don’t get are provided, on the hospitality tray. I enjoyed the fresh coffee and breakfast each morning. Kenny and Lesley offered a friendly service, accommodating my requests were possible. If there’s one downside to visiting the St Ives, it’s that you need two or three days too fully appreciate all that’s on offer. I’d definitely hope to stay at the St Ives when visiting Dunoon.
