As the centre piece of Drimsynie Estate, this impressive hotel overlooks its own 9-hole golf course, plus Loch Goil and the Argyllshire mountains.

In my view, with Drimsynie, Lochgoilhead is the best wee village in the World (I live in Greece, which has some cracking wee villages, and I have travelled a fair bit)! Drimsynie is an excellent place to go to for a long weekend or a longer holiday, with or without kids. Adults and kids of all ages will love it! There is so much to do and the staff are always willing to help! The surrounding scenery is breathtaking and whether you are golfing, walking, or sailing, you cannot help but be taking in by the majestic scene that is Lochgoil / Lochgoilhead, and the surrounding hills. As a holiday destination, Drimsynie is an ideal place for both active and relaxing holidays! We stayed in the hotel this time but I have also stayed in one of the lodges, and I would recommend both! This is a gem of a hotel and holiday destination!!

A pleasant surprise, the hotel looks a little tired from the roadside, but the second you get inside, everything is perfect. Lovely smiling welcoming host, room was large, comfortably and bright. Bonus of having a cooked meal at night as a little away from town, and the breakfast was fantastic. A brilliant stay and would highly recommend

This pioneering young couple have taken on a massive job of returning this establishment to its former beauty. Room by massive room it’s being restored and it’s going to be amazing when they finish. We absolutely loved our stay here. Carpets, paint and the bathroom for room 9 are all almost new. The staff are all so friendly and made us feel so welcome. We enjoyed dinner in the bar and breakfast in the dining room.

Best location in a beautiful town right on the firth of Clyde. Easy to find from the ferry. Plenty of free parking a minutes walk away on the waterfront & easy walk to explore everything. My room was small but very clean and warm. Lovely staff. Beautiful views. Try Anselmo for a delicious fish&chips meal(try their haggis bites & black pudding-so good)

I lived in Dunoon for two years 1963-65 and the return visit with my family sixty years later was bittersweet as I remembered the vibrant village of years ago and saw too many closed stores where I used to shop but that is the nature of change. Dunoon owns part of my heart. Best wishes to the leaders there to restore the best of it and lose the shabby shops along the main street. ❤️

Lodge has everything you need.

Lodge has everything you need. Site has amazing facilities, with the majority free. The lodge is about a 10 - 15 minute walk to the on-site shop (depending if you have a wee one with you). Whole place is pet friendly and a lovely part of Scotland.

We loved the hotel we stayed in, the walkable neighbourhood by the bay& friendly village store. our children were young adults and so the quiet peaceful environment suited them away from their normal city life. There may be less to do for younger children. the views on route to the coast were spectacular

The hotel is very comfortable with a beautiful garden and views of the Loch. There is a seating area in front of the hotel and a lovely bar with friendly staff. The food is Indian and very nice. There are beautiful walks and ancient trees and plants just 2 Minutes from the Hotel, you could spent days with exploring. A Castle near by organises classical music Concerts and Castle Tours. The gardens are magical and worth a visit.

Had a short break, for a birthday, squeezed into a busy couple of weeks, would have liked to stay a bit longer. Weather wasn't great, we would have done more beach stuff if it had been, however, the spa facilities were great and we are thinking of visiting for days out, or even an overnight stay, we live fairly nearby on Kintyre. We were able to drive out to explore the area more than previously when "just passing through" Cowal. However, one should bear in mind that all the single track roads make this quite tiring as you get older!

It was just lovely.

It was just lovely. The house was beautiful and well decorated and had lovely old architectural features. The bedroom was very nice and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was so good!! Lots of food and all delicious. Can’t say enough good things about Avril and Sue. Great ladies with a heart for hospitality. We especially appreciated our afternoon tea after arriving.

Main place I visited was Benmore Botanical Gardens - lots to explore and the rhododendrons and azaleas in May are spectacular. No cafe now sadly but a short trip away in Blairmore there is a cafe run by the lady who used to run the cafe at Benmore - didn't manage to visit it this time but was recommended to me. I stayed at the Creggans Inn and mainly ate there - excellent place to stay or visit for a meal - food was superb and a good base for exploring the area. Roads well maintained and easy to get round - visited Inverary Castle on the other side of the loch. Again superb gardens and the castle itself is stunning well worth visiting. The town itself also very picturesque. On the way to Inverary there is the Loch Fyne Restaurant and Tree shop garden centre and cafe - well worth a visit and picked up some beautiful rhododendrons at the tree shop. Nearby there is also a local farm brewery Fyne Ales - it has a shop and taproom where you can sample their ales and buy them or have a coffee and cake ! The weather was a bit patchy - usually it is fine in May but nonetheless a superb place to visit.

We absolutely loved our time in Sandbank, a delightful coastal village just a stone’s throw from Dunoon. The atmosphere is wonderfully laid-back—perfect for families and dog-walkers alike—with stunning views across the Firth of Clyde and an air of peaceful seclusion without feeling isolated. The local community is friendly and welcoming, and there's an abundance of beautiful walking routes, from gentle shoreline paths to woodland trails. We enjoyed relaxing by the water, spotting boats drifting by, and soaking in some gorgeous sunsets after busy days of exploring. With its quiet charm, natural beauty, and easy access to nearby shops and eateries in Dunoon, Sandbank makes a fabulous base for anyone seeking a restful escape in Scotland’s west coast hills.

Regular ferries.

Regular ferries. Lots of catering and pubs and quirky shops. Beautiful old churches and regular activities in the Castle House museum and the Burgh Hall. Swimminig, cinema, supermarkets. Lovely nature trails, walks and climbs within walking distance of town centre.
