Historic Tudor-style hotel with sea views in Kirn

Historic Setting & Architecture

The Royal Marine Hotel Dunoon occupies a historic building with Tudor-style architecture and has been in operation for about 165 years. Stained glass windows and a sweeping grand staircase preserve the character of the original Victorian era. The hotel offers sea views across the Firth of Clyde from select rooms and a tranquil garden setting.

Accommodations

Rooms include the Arran suite with a 4-poster bed, roll-top bath, and separate shower, plus a corner sofa with table overlooking the ferry. Family rooms with sea views offer spacious layouts, and many rooms have been refurbished with tartan carpet and modern bathrooms. All rooms provide private bathrooms, tea and coffee makers, flat-screen TVs, and free toiletries.

Dining

Daily Scottish breakfast served in the dining room includes continental, à la carte, full English/Irish, and vegetarian options. Dinner menus feature British, French, Italian, Mediterranean, Scottish, seafood, and barbecue grill cuisines, and a new chef Neil has been recruited. The on-site bar serves locally sourced drinks, and the hotel offers customizable dining options using locally sourced ingredients.

Pet-Friendly & Family

Dogs are welcome throughout the hotel, and staff provide sausages for canine guests during breakfast. Family rooms with double and single beds accommodate groups, and the hotel offers early check-in upon request. The building's spacious layout and outdoor seating areas with landscaping suit families and pets alike.
