Historic Tudor-style hotel on the Dunoon waterfront

Historic Building

The Royal Marine Hotel occupies the former Clyde Yacht Club, a building dating back over 100 years. The hotel retains its original stained glass windows, sweeping bannisters, and a creaky front door that speak to its past. Local artists' work and model ships decorate the halls, while the exterior Tudor design makes it a landmark in Kirn.

Rooms & Suites

Each room is individually designed; Room 11 has a stone feature wall, and the Arran room offers a four-poster bed, tartan carpet, and a corner sofa overlooking the ferry. Many rooms have sea views, flat-screen TVs, and en-suite bathrooms with roll-top baths or separate showers. Room 26 features a David Bowie mural, and the hotel provides games for families to play in the rooms.

Dining & Bar

The hotel serves a daily Scottish breakfast in the dining room, with full Scottish, continental, à la carte, and vegetarian options. Dinner includes British, French, Italian, Mediterranean, Scottish, seafood, and barbecue grill cuisines, with locally sourced ingredients. The on-site bar serves locally sourced drinks and hosts community events; Chef Neil is creating a new menu for the restaurant.

Location & Surroundings

The hotel sits directly across from the Hunters Quay ferry terminal, offering sea views and a two-minute walk to the ferry. Benmore Botanic Garden is 9 km away, Blairmore and Strone Golf Club is 12 km, and Trossachs National Park is within driving distance. Free on-site private parking is available, and the town centre is a short walk along the promenade.

Pet-Friendly Stays

Dogs are allowed throughout the hotel, and the staff arrange for breakfast to be served in the bar area so pets can stay with their owners. Dog sausages are provided at breakfast, and the hotel recommends local walks along the seafront and nature trails. Guests with dogs receive a warm welcome, with no extra charges mentioned for the pet.
