Cheap Hotels & Resorts in Cowal from AU$94

"The room was basic but very clean. The restaurant (for both an evening meal and breakfast) were very disappointing. The evening meal that I had (tikka masala curry) was average and overpriced. The breakfast was particularly bad. We arrived at 08:30 on 2 days and found that there was nearly nothing left on the 'continental' section, except for a few cereal boxes and a sorry bowl of prunes. The cooked breakfast is buffet style and was equally bad...the eggs had a hard skin on them and everything wasn't above luke warm. The staff were friendly, but there appears to be a lack of them in the restaurant (1 friendly lady running around doing everything was our experience). The location and hotel is very good for those out hiking, but as for meals I would try elsewhere. One thing that the 'spa' photos didn't capture was the "swimming lessons in progress" signs... The spa is actually a somewhat disappointing leisure centre that is not ideal for a couple on a relaxing getaway. Overall, the hotel is tired and in need of development, but if you're looking for somewhere comfortable to stay whilst hiking then it is an affordable option."

"Staff very attentive and jovial,nothing too much trouble.Bar had no real ale,if like me you prefer that and menu could be more extensive.We only had room only so cannot say too much about food.Will certainly stop there again as we have family locally."

"My wife and I had a decent stay at the Royal Marine, though it was a bit of a mixed bag. The building looks magnificent, and although a little tired, has fantastic potential with some TLC. Our room was spotless, and we enjoyed paying extra for the sea view; watching the ferry terminal activity was actually quite relaxing. However, the hotel is feeling a little run-down and in need of some modernising. We also found the breakfast disappointing, which let the experience down. Whilst we enjoyed our visit to Dunoon, I doubt we'll be rushing back anytime soon."

"For a 5 star hotel breakfast was not on point. It was a hot plate option. Dog friendly hotel but that does not mean dogs should be on seats. This was like a 5 star butlins. This hotel lives on a name. "

"Clean rooms, immaculate grounds with a lovely terrace to enjoy a relaxing drink overlooking the Loch"
