Just one word...SUPERB. rooms very clean and decor is perfect. Food is out of this world! The breakfast is sublime. Ground floor room 9 is perfect for wheelchair users and has a large bathroom. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble, the young lady who originally hails from Manchester really made us feel at ease and very welcomed. I would recommend staying here without doubt. The views are breathtakingly stunning too...

We visited for our evening meal. We pre booked and were given a table in the bay window at the front with amazing views across the Clyde. We also brought our dog, Humphrey, who was made very welcome. …

As always it's a treat to come to gourock. The Spinnaker is a great spot for some well cooked food with cracking atmosphere. The garlic chilli prawns were packed full of flavour and seasoned well. Slightly too much butter in my opinion but still tasted delicious so can't complain.The fish tacos were crispy, well seasoned and again packed full of flavour. I couldn't recommend the pub/hotel enough and the staff are attentive and friendly. A perfect spot for a evening meal or even just a drink. Look forward to returning.
