“The sea views from the rooms here are quite something, offering a clear vantage point for the comings and goings of the ferries across the Firth of Clyde. While the building carries its history with a certain, shall we say, venerable air, the warmth of the staff, particularly Dillon, makes it a genuinely welcoming stay. It's a place that clearly has character, felt in everything from the comfortable beds to the hearty breakfasts.”
