Family Hotels in Argyll and Bute

"Fantastic hotel which has clearly had a lot of work done in recent times. I was greeted warmly by Ricky and checked in to Room 2, which was massive - and simply perfect for my (5 stone) greyhound, as he had space to move. The Royal Marine is one of 2 dog friendly hotels in the area, and as you can see, His Lordship was made ever so welcome and he slept like a log, as did I! I brought his own bed, however my bed was super comfy and cosy. There was a tv, a (clean!) kettle with tea & coffee and large en-suite. The building itself is steeped in history and is architecturally stunning. For the same price you could stay in one of the bland, characterless, pokey guesthouses nearer town.... but why would you? From what I could tell, every room looked different, which was a nice touch. The terrace is a great place to sit and watch the Clyde roll by, and there was ample parking too. The log fire in the bar was both cosy and aesthetically pleasing, and the whole place was super clean. Sadly I was staying due to holding my husbands funeral in Dunoon, but the hotel being bright and cheerful really helped me alot. All the staff were fun and incredibly friendly (it is rare for housekeeping to say good morning these days, but the ladies here were wonderful). Also, a big thumbs-up to Fiona on the bar for making my stay a thoroughly enjoyable one; it really is the staff who make a hotel feel like home. As Arnie would say, Ill be back! Thank you xxx"

"We absolutely loved our stay here, we were on our honeymoon and couldn’t ask for a more relaxing and wonderful place to be! Will definitely be back!"

"Beautiful location "

"The hotel is in a beautiful situation, with far reaching views across the loch. The staff were all very friendly, the room was beautiful and, they are extremely dog friendly. I will definitely be returning to stay here again in the near future."

"Alan, Lee and Mani were amazing! Be sure you take a walk out back to the river. Food was excellent and will be coming back again my next time in Scotland. There are a few things that they are working on to make the place even better, but a great choice for us."

"Did not get the room that I thought I booked but it was good and would happily stay there again! Staff was wonderful!"

"The staff was very friendly & helpful; the food was terrific; the bar is darling; the shower is phenomenal because of the water pressure!!!; the views from the hotel breathtaking. We also liked staying just outside the city of Oban( only 5 miles distance from Oban.)"

"Beautiful waterfront inn with great amenitities. Friendly staff, cozy accomodations, and excellent breakfast. Perfectly walkable into the city centre, and right on the promenade. Would return. "
