Royal Marine Hotel

Let’s start with the positives …we got an extra duvet because there was no electricity. The views from the front are amazing. A round of applause to the lady who was out front and on the bar till after midnight and then on breakfasts this morning. Negatives (brace yourself) We booked in July but they lost our booking. Took many emails etc to get another room. We were in Dunoon for an event so had hoped to stay after. It’s very tired and need of upgrade. On arrival they offered me a twin room instead of the double booked, but a double was found. In the room, there was no soap in the bathroom or indeed a main light or window. It was lit by the light over the sink. The soap was replaced when asked. On return after the event, we found there was no electricity in our corridor. We were told it affected the local area, but there was still lights on elsewhere in the hotel. At around 11.30 a guest from our corridor arrived in the bar furious as there was “2 foot of water” in his room. Connected to the electrical issue? Probably. No electricity this morning, or water for that matter. So no shower and just enough water to brush our teeth. Breakfast ok, but very late. Disaster!

Beautiful Scottish themed rooms which were in keeping with the stunning building with stained glass windows and fire places. The owners are extremely helpful and welcoming. A lovely atmosphere and an excellent location for travelling the Cowal peninsula and across the water to Gourock
