Douglas Park Guest House

This truly is an exceptional guest house,and we have stayed in quite a few over the years. The building is a gem with high ceilings, a stately staircase and original features. The welcome from Ken and help we received from the moment we arrived set us up for the next 3 nights. He suggested a location for our first evenings dinner ( always a dilemma on arriving in a new place we find )and on taking up his recommendation , he booked it for us. It was a good choice too.. We had a comfortable downstairs room which looks to the rear, that had its own separate bathroom, but this was only a few steps away , was spacious and there were dressing gowns in the wardrobe ; A thoughtful touch. With no traffic noise . We slept well. The residents lounge has a lovely sea view, so we made good use of it each evening, watching the boats coming and goings and yes.. saw the porpoises. Breakfasts are superb.. lovely fresh fruit salads, yoghurts seeds etc. Not being Full scottish eaters we found The smoked salmon and scrambled eggs particularly delicious. Ken truly is a superb host who truly loves where he lives , who has created a relaxing, restful , luxurious oasis, that is worthy of an Alastair Sawday listing. We hope to return soon..

Lovely stay here from start to reluctant leave time, Ken is a friendly host who gave us lots of ideas for places to visit, eat etc. Our room was gorgeous with a sea view & very roomy with lots of extras. Breakfast was quality produce cooked very well, Ken even chilled our wine that we left in our room while we were out and about. We plan to return as soon as we can.

This was our second visit to this most wonderful Guest House and our second visit was as excellent as the first one. The accommodation was superb, the host preemptive for all our needs, amazing food and all one could ever need on a quilting retreat. I am sure that we will return.

A very welcoming, comfortable and relaxing place to stay in an beautiful location. A mile from Dunoon and close to frequent car and passenger ferries across the Clyde. Ken, the owner is friendly and helpful and provides a good start to the day with plenty of delicious choice for breakfast. Douglas Park is the ideal place from which to explore the surrounding hills, parks, walks, castles etc. or to just sit and watch the world go by. Love it!
