NOTHING PRETENTIOUS BUT WARM WELCOME

Pros: i enjoyed dinner with wine and a very good quality breakfast, served by young, friendly helpful staff; also warm welcome at reception with checkin and out simple. A convenient venue for Helensburgh Cricket and Rugby Club at Ardencaple where West Bowl rugby final was played.Home side won 25-7 . Local town,rail station and Faslane Naval Base within easy reach.

Cons: Puddling outside reception to cross for my taxi- but it had been raining hard!

Highly recommended

Pros: We liked the location. The comfort, very clean room The friendliness of staff. The price.

Cons: Alot of stairs to the top. We were only informed of this on arrival. Would have chose a room on lower floor had we known.

An enjoyable relaxing stay

Pros: Although we didn't have the breakfast on this occasion we have found that on previous visits that the quality of the breakfast on offer is very good. Parking facilities are great with a large car park to the rear of the property

Great staff, great food. Nice place to stop off.

Pros: Food was excellent. Chef clearly knows how to cook. I particularly liked the Haggis Fritters (They’d probably give you a heart attack is you ate them more than once a week). Staff were friendly and very helpful.

Cons: Hotel was a bit tired. It could do with a refurb.

Great Bed and Spacious Room

Pros: Smart looking room and great location just outside the town and next to the beach. Great big TV all working well. Lovely large bed - and spacious room as we were in the family room. Lots of seating for two people. The price we paid was very reasonable. We paid a good price from a lovely full breakfast. No annoying ceiling lights. Reception was helpful but not always there so sometimes you had to wait or hunt out staff - they were understaffed but not their fault.

Cons: On closer inspection the room was a bit tired looking and needed a bit of TLC in places. There were no biscuits and no box for the tea and coffee sachets etc. - just stuffed into the cups. The shower was very noisy and didn't seem to work properly though both of us managed to get some sort of shower. Tiny sink with no plug and the door to the bathroom couldn't be closed from the outside so light came through at night - the curtains in the room too were not completely blacking out the room. Small details but they did add up. Nevertheless they didn't spoil out wee break.

Good stay, good value, friendly, would recommend

Pros: We had a huge room which my husband loved, but then realised it was the disabled room! The bathroom had a seat in the shower which was in the way, but the staff tied it up so we could stay in the room, which made my husband happy as we’d already unpacked. I thought the bed should have had more pillows and a thicker duvet but actually it was perfect. Good value for money, and would definitely use again. Friendly staff. Good service including breakfast on Christmas Day, which was really appreciated.

Debra 10/10

Pros: The Staff, especially Gordon and the restaurant/ bar team. They were so very friendly and accommodating. The hotel was full of warmth, very cosy and fulll of history. We didn't want to leave.

Cons: No biscuits on the Hospitality tray. These wee touches make all the difference . .
