Beautifully decorated hotel with warm, cosy atmosphere. Professional, efficient and friendly staff made sure we has the perfect stay. Even our dog Brodie was served his own breakfast sausage. We have visited The Dunsmuir for many years and hopefully will continue for a good few more.

Fantastic 2 night stay at the Dunmuir Hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I was fortunate to be able to access my room around 1pm. The room was very nice and definitely 4 star as opposed to 3 star. …

Lovely location not far from rail station and on central road, a nice short walk away from the harbour.Breakfast included hot and cold options which you could pick as many as you liked of for yourself! I would recommend the porridge as it was the best I’d ever tasted but also enjoyed eggs, sausage, mushroom, etc.
