Douglas Park Guest House

Enjoyed another stay at this excellent guest house. Ken as always was on hand if needed and his breakfasts were very good indeed.

The Lorne restaurant is excellent. The food was excellent and the service very attentive.

A superb stay at Douglas Park. Ken is a very welcoming and attentive host. We had a spectacular Room With A View (Room 4) which was well furnished and absolutely spotless. Breakfast was outstanding. We will certainly be back.

In Dunoon the Lorne Bar was great for an evening meal - an extensive menu of good dishes. Argyll Vintners on Hillfoot Street is also well worth a visit for a glass of wine and purchase of very reasonably priced wines. Again, we will be back to both.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a great 5 star review. Delighted to read your kind comments, and look forward to welcoming you back to DP. Ken

25th March 2024:

Lovely stay at Douglas Park while we were catching up with family in the town. Kenneth belongs to a well-known family in the town who have always been in the hospitality business, and it shows! Beautiful home, luxuriously furnished and great made to order breakfasts. Don't know when we'll be back but the Douglas Park will be our chosen place to stay especially with Tilly waiting our arrival at the window! Many thanks!

Ideal set up for quilters.. Even a fabric shop 2 minutes away, and a range of shops close by, if you’ve forgotten anything. I can’t fault anything about it, that’s why I keep coming back!

No need to find anywhere else.

Fantastic breakfast to set you up for the day

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for leaving a review. I know you were busy doing a course in the area, but good to know you enjoyed your down time at DP. Ken

25th September 2023:

Can't recommend Douglas Park highly enough. Ken is a wonderful host and very knowledgeable of the area. The main attractions are on site parking, fabulous views, beautifully appointed bedrooms, excellent breakfasts, spotlessly clean and a very, happy atmosphere. We can't wait to return.

There is so much to do in this area and there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review. I really appreciate all my guests leaving such nice positive feedback. I look forward to seeing you back again at DP , in the not too distant future, Best wishes Ken

21st September 2023:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for an 'Excellent' review... it was lovely to see you back at Douglas Park. Best wishes, Ken

17th September 2023:

The house is very relaxed and welcoming. The first thing you see on entering is a cosy looking lounge with fantastic views over the Clyde Estuary. There may be a little dog called Tilly sitting at the window watching out for the latest arrivals (the owner, Ken, keeps her out of the way if any non dog friendly guests arrive). I stayed twice at Douglas Park during a 2 week period. Both my rooms were very comfortable. Both looked over the back yard so no view, but were very quiet, which was ideal for a light sleeper like me. A kettle with drinks sachets and some snacks were provided, and lovely floral teacups with a Tunnocks teacake on top. Everywhere were little touchs like that to make the guests feel at home. Needless to say, the rooms were spotlessly clean. Breakfast was in a big, light, spacious room with splendid views of the water. Fantastic fresh food was served up by Ken, (shout out for the haggis 😊), the host, who is a friendly, lively, fun person, full of stories and information about the area. The breakfast room turned out to be quite a social venue, and I ended up getting to know the other guests there. Douglas Park is a great base for a trip to the Cowal Peninsula. I will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you Ken, and Tilly!

Benmore Botanic Gardens - superb day out Tighnabruaich - a pretty town about 40 mins drive away through stunning scenery (also Colintraive and Portavadie in the same area, both worth a visit) Blairmore cafe at the other side of the Holy Loch - wonderful cafe in a lovely location facing Loch Long.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a lovely long review full of helpful and kind comments and suggestions for future travellers. It was lovely to meet you, and look forward to welcoming you back should the need arise for accommodation in Dunoon again. Best wishes, Ken

15th September 2023:

I would definitely recommend Douglas Park Guest House for its warm welcome, friendliness, cleanliness and comfort. The delicious breakfast is well worth getting out of bed for, plenty of choice and very tasty, ensuring a good start to the day. Facing the river and surrounded by beautiful scenery it's the perfect place to relax, while also being an ideal base for exploring the area.

The Lorne is a bar and restaurant in Dunoon about a mile from the guest house. It has an extensive menu and friendly, helpful staff making it a great place to pop in for a drink or relax with friends and family over a meal. Benmore Botanic Garden is well worth a visit with paths to explore, you can walk among Giant Redwoods, mosses and huge ferns and look out for red squirrels and other wildlife. There's so much to see

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a GREAT review and lots of hints and tips for other travellers. As you said, "There's so much to see" I hope you can return to enjoy this area even more. Best wishes,Ken

15th September 2023:

Friendly, welcoming, helpful, nothing too much trouble. We arrived as strangers and left as friends!

Would definately recommend The Lorne for Dinner. Loch Eck is very nearby and is so peaceful if you pull in and sit a while. The whole area of Dunoon and The Trossachs is beautiful, far too much to take in in just a short trip so we will be back.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great to meet you both and thank you for leaving a lovely review. I hope you both come back this way and continue your search for long lost family! We just love your story. All the best , Ken

12th September 2023:

Douglas Park is a very nice guest house. Ken the owner,is very pleasant, and can give any information about the area.The breakfasts are excellent,good selection.

28th August 2023:

Once again a wonderful time spent at Douglas Park to experience the Cowal Gathering. Ken is an excellent host, nothing is too much and he genuinely cares about his guests. The guest house is spotless with comfortable beds, fabuous breakfast and Tunnocks Tea Cakes in the room every day...what's not to like.

For an evening meal the Lorne takes some beating and the Blairmore Cafe is well worth a visit. Just make sure you visit Puck's Glen while in Dunoon, one of Mother Natures free sites and is glorious especially in the rain.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a great 5* review. It was lovely to see you both again for your annual trip to Scotland, and The Cowal Gathering. Delighted with all your kind comments. Thank you. See you next August, K.

16th August 2023:

Very polite but friendly Good choices at breakfast and presented well Nothing too much trouble, even carried luggage upstairs for us, this was a very kind thing to do as my sister has a bad hip and I have a weakness on my left side after a stroke last year. Lots of good information in room about where to go and where to buy local produce , lovely stay thank you , took some beautiful photos at 6:am over the Firth of Clyde from our room with a view Ken Togwell made us feel very welcome at his guest house it was lovely 😊

Our visit was for a family event so didn’t do much sight seeing or travelling but did buy some Scottish black pudding haggis pies and plain bread to take home to east anglia.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th August 2023:

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Douglas Park very much. Our room was spacious and very comfortable with an amazing seaview. The quality and choice of breakfast was something to look forward to each morning.

We would definitely recommend going for a lovely drive towards Blairmore and stopping at the charming cafè and next-door shop for gifts and foodie treats. We also found the Ardentinny in the next village to be excellent. Run by a young, cheerful and qualified staff both in the kitchen and serving . Both really worth going to!

Would Recommend: Yes

A very pleasant stay. The room was very good and the breakfast excellent. The Young man always ensured that we had everything we needed at breakfast. The situation is good and the view across the water is pleasant indeed. Certainly I would recommend and return, if I am in that area.

The Botanic Gardens are well worth seeing and the Restaurants whilst limited are adequate.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your review and kind comments. I look forward to welcoming you back next time you're working in the area. Best wishes, Ken.

25th July 2023:

We loved our mini break at Douglas Park guest house. Ken, the host, is kind, friendly and helpful. He runs an impeccable guest house and has great knowledge of the local area. His dog Tilly is the cutest wee thing and so well behaved! The breakfast, which was served by Lewis, was incredible: fresh fruit salad; homemade marmalade, and not to mention the perfect cooked breakfast. We will be back!

Toward, a 15 min drive, was amazing if you like to get in the water and go pier jumping. There’s plenty places to eat in Dunoon but booking is best. We are at The Lorne, which was great. The chippy close to the pier would be a recommendation too.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a grreat review! Delighted that you enjoyed your mini break at Douglas Park. And that you discovered to joy of Toward, swimming, sailing and snorkling. Hope to see you both back again for more of the same . Ken (& and Tilly)

20th June 2023:

My travel partner and I really enjoyed our stay at Douglas Park Guest House. The rooms and shared spaces were all tastefully decorated and well maintained/cleaned. The breakfast in the morning was wonderful and Kenny the host was fantastic. He gave us several recommendations and even helped us book a last minute trip out on the water with Wreckspeditions (also highly recommend). We were sad to leave and I hope to visit again some day.

There were plenty of restaurants but be sure to book ahead! We really enjoyed the Argyle Hotel restaurant and balcony porch. For activities we went out on a short boat ride with Wreckspeditions (Jason was awesome) and booked a couple of Quads with Quadmania which I highly recommend!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for a GREAT 5 STAR review guys! Delighted to host you both at Douglas Park. So glad you had a blast with Jason and also out at the Quad bikes with David. Enjoy the rest of your Scottish trip. Do come back !! Ken.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for a really fabby review! Great to read your kind comments. I look forward to seeing you back at DP. Best wishes Ken.

5th June 2023:

Two splendid days: From our greeting on the doorstep to our delightfully served breakfast, Ken’s ministrations have enabled us to relax and unwind after what had been a somewhat stressful journey to Dunoon. There is ample off-road parking - always a bonus. Our room with exclusive bathroom measures up to the highest standards. There is a bountiful welcome tray for tea/coffee making provided, along with tasty biscuits and bottled water that I find has been replenished whilst out for the day. We have bath robes hanging in the wardrobe, ready to don whilst walking the two strides to the bathroom. Everything is tip-top, every detail is covered. The lounge is comfortable and roomy. We feel very much at home here and can recommend Douglas Park to any prospective travellers without reservation. Oh, terrific views over the water to Gourock and promenade walks across the road are an added benefit.

Don’t look elsewhere - Book in at Douglas Park.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a fantastic, thorough and delightful review! Just love "Ken’s ministrations...." !! I do hope to see you back at Douglas Park in the not too distant future. Thank you again, Ken.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a great review and kind comments. Love your comment 'Dunoon is the best' ! I think so too. Best wishes Ken.

6th May 2023:

Excellent accommodation with friendly and obliging host. Owner went out of his way to be helpful to me as I don't drive. Breakfast was delicious and just as I ordered.

I found the cafes in Dunoon to be very good with tasty food and cheerful staff. As I was there for a Convention I didn't have much chance to explore the area, but feel that a car is essential to make the most of one's stay. I'm sure the bus service is fine but I found the timetable hard to decipher. There should be a covered waiting area for those foot travellers waiting for the ferry. I intend to return in the summer to visit the Benmore Botanical Gardens as I know there's a dedicated bus service going there.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a great review and kind comments. The bus runs into town and back every hour until late. I'm glad you are hoping to come back to see Benmore gardens. May and Autumn is when to see it at its best. Ken

25th April 2023:

We were looking at properties to buy in the area and wanted to experience the location, views, locals and options. We definitely got all that we needed and wanted. We live in Paris, France and had a great long weekend experience!

Ken is the best person to ask as he has great local knowledge and recommendations. We took all of his and were truly impressed. His friendliness and interest to have great conversations was well received and our room was pristine every day and restocked without asking. The small details in Douglas Park make this a plce to recommend and indeed come back to.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for a great 5 star review on your recent stay with me at Douglas Park. What wonderful weather you guys got! Always sunny in Dunoon!! Good luck with your property search. I look forward for any updates :-) Best wishes, Ken.

Such a comfortable stay. Warm and cosy, fresh and clean. The 'in room' tea/coffee/hot chocolate with biscuits were appreciated. A vast array of breakfast choices. I can highly recommend the crumpet/brie/bacon and the scrambled egg with smoked salmon... delicious! The dining room view is spectacular. Ken, and not forgetting Tilly the dog, are first class hosts. Thank you.

18th February 2023:

Beautiful guest house overlooking water. Prime location. We were welcomed by Ken who couldn't do enough to ensure our needs were met. Our room was spotless, large, very spacious with a large bay window. There was nothing lacking. Ken had even supplied binoculars to engage in the spectacular view. Breakfast was amazing. Excellent choice of hot and continental. Id never stayed in a guest house before, and had concerns that I'd be aware I was in someone's house, however soon forgot about that when in room. Rooms decorated to a very high standard, spotless. We opted for deluxe, and that's what we received. Beautiful wee tillie the family dog made us feel right at home too. Will definitely return, and would highly recommend.

We were only there one night but enjoyed our meal at state 51. Food was lovely, well presented.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a great 5 star review! Delighted to read your kind comments and I look forward to welcoming you back to DP, hopefully in the not too distant future. Ken.

2nd February 2023:

What an excellent B&B; I always make a point of booking with a local business instead of a big chain hotel, yet again, it paid off. Ken and his beautiful little dog, Tilly, run a tight ship. Ken is kind and welcoming, and nothing is too big of an ask. My friend and I stayed in the twin garden room and had the most pleasant stay; the water pressure in the shower was fantastic! The view is ever-changing from the dining room and beautiful even on the most miserable rainy days. Ken is a Dunoon man born and bred, so he has a fantastic knowledge of the local area with a great map of where best to visit. Absolutely recommend, and could not fault it.

Stayed here for two days as working at our office in Dunoon. Ken was very welcoming and so was little Tilly, always near to ask how you were and if you needed anything. Little extras in room, especially the Teacakes! Thank you so much for making my stay enjoyable, breakfast with a view, and what a view! Wish I could have had time to look through the binoculars but will definitely be back, but this time as a holiday.

Breakfasts again very good, but l felt 9am was just a wee bit early for us, but other than that minor thing, could not be more impressed. Ken, an absolute gent, nothing too much trouble for him.

7th September 2022:

Luxury 'home-from-home' accomodation. Just the sort of refuge you want to repair to after a 'hard day on the hill'. Dwight Eisenhour later US President is quoted as saying "Hindsight is more accurate than foresight, but less useful". Douglas Park fortunately employs foresight skillfully...

Front rooms overlook Clyde estuary has a vista with an outlook changing by the minute. Binoculars provided in room, or bring your own personalized ones. Local map provided with guidance for meals/tours etc. Only a short walk from frequent Dunoon/Gourock ferry quay, means a motorvehical not needed by the enthusiastic walker/cyclist.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for leaving a great review , complete with fab quote, of your recent stay with me at Douglas Park. Delighted that you enjoyed your stay, and i look forward to welcoming you back. Ken

6th September 2022:

First Class accommodation, food, and, above all, hospitality. Lovely view across the Firth of Clyde from the front rooms. A short walk to the town centre with some good eating places. Thank you Ken for the warmth of your welcome and excellent care and attention to every detail. Look forward to our next visit and stay at Duncan Park Guest House.

Friendly staff and good food at The Lorne bar/restaurant on Argyll Street.

Thank you for a fab 5 star review and kind comments on your recent stay at DP. Yes the Lorne is well worth a visit , food and staff are great. Many thanks, Ken

5th September 2022:

Everything about the Douglas Park Guest House is ideal. We greatly enjoyed our weekend. The rooms are comfortable, spotlessly clean, and tastefully decorated and furnished. The unique selling point is the welcome and friendly care of his guests given by Ken. Fine breakfasts, and the delightful 'Tilly.' Thank you for everything. We will be back.

A day trip to the Isle of Bute, taking the car ferry from Colintraive to Rhubadoch. We left Dunoon in rain and arrived on Bute, less than an hour later, in glorious warm sunshine. Can't promise it would always be like that, but the beauty of the drive round the Cowal peninsular and on Bute is worth seeing at any time.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a lovely review. Love the USP! Tilly and I look forward to welcoming you back to sunny Dunoon. Best wishes , Ken.

Kenny is a terrific host. Breakfast was plentiful and tasted wonderful. The rooms are all great, but if you can book the one that overlooks the Firth and lochs, you will appreciate the view. Also, trust Kenny when he tells you what the weather will be!

A great restaurant in Dunoon is The Lorne. Food and staff were fantastic. Another restaurant is the Coylet Inn located on the beautiful Loch Eck. It is about 15 minutes north of the B&B on A815. The owner, Carl, is an avid hunter and fisherman. Much of the menu is provided by Carl's successes. I would also recommend a visit to the Benmore Botanic Gardens in between Dunoon and Coylet.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a great review of your Douglas Park break. Delighted that you enjoyed the stalking and the Gamekeeper Carl was very knowledgable. I hope to see you back again. Best wishes, Ken

30th July 2022:

When planning our holiday in Dunoon we were very impressed by the excellent reviews that were given to Douglas Park GH. So glad we chose to stay there. No doubt that these reviews are genuine and the excellent rating is truly justified, Thanks to Ken we had a very comfortable and enjoyable holiday starting each day with a wonderful view of the Firth of Clyde and a delicious breakfast.

Ken will give you lots of advice about Dunoon and its surroundings. Ben More Botanic Gardens are outstanding takes most of a day to visit. For sightseeing we enjoyed Tighnabruaich and Portavadie. Halibut served at the Marina at Portavadie was delicious - unbeatable indeed. The hill road from Otter Ferry to Glendaruel is very narrow and very steep in parts so think twice about your route if you are not a confident driver.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st July 2022:

Going to Dunoon? Well don’t bother searching through all the booking sites etc., here’s a shortcut to the best B&B accommodation in Dunoon – just type in Douglas Park Guest House. Ken, the proprietor, has been in the hospitality sector for a long time and knows what he is doing in terms of providing the best experience for visitors to this immaculate Guest House. This is borne out by the world map in the entrance hall that is covered with coloured pins indicating satisfied visitors from all corners of the globe. At the first, second, and third time of visiting this B&B we have never been disappointed. One specific feature is a guest lounge which, unlike many B&B’s/Guest Houses, can be use at any time, so you are not turfed out after breakfast! And the view from the lounge is amazing. Here, the Clyde is no longer just a river flowing through Glasgow, it is a wide entrance to the open sea with boats of all sizes (ferries, tankers, cruise ships and submarines) passing through one of the most iconic waterways in the world. As indicated above, just search for Douglas Park Guest House when planning a visit to Dunoon, you will not be disappointed.

Best place for eating is The Lorne at 249 Argyll Street

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a wonderful review! You are my 300th 5 star review on this spcific site !! Kind words and comment...delighted that you enjoyed your 3rd visit to DP. So many returning guests these days which is lovely for me. Look forward to visit number 4. Best wishes Ken

Beautiful location, wonderful views and some great wildlife passing by! Excellent breakfasts enjoying the sea views, comfortable rooms and a very knowledgeable host - there were a couple of lovely spots we only found with Ken's recommendation and directions.

The Lorne restaurant in Dunoon is very good. We enjoyed a day exploring Bute, via the Colintraive vehicle ferry, and a day closer to Dunoon walking round the town then visiting Benmore Gardens, Blairmore cafe and Puck's Glen - a lovely woodland walk with waterfalls, though be aware some of the route is steep and a bit slippery.

The Douglas Park hotel was fantastic. And staying there was the icing on the cake for our trip to Dunoon. I cannot praise Ken enough as a host. Nothing is a bother for him, he made us feel welcome, was full on local knowledge and ideas of places to visit, and he was so chilled out and relaxed. He really was the complete package…oh and his home made marmalade is equalled only by his cooking skills!!!! A must stay if visiting Dunoon!

2nd April 2022:

Last weekend, 4 ladies drove 202 miles for a quilting weekend at Douglas Park. A wonderful weekend had by all. Warm welcome , arriving to a tasty supper from Ken; 2 days of quilting in a superb sewing room; delicious food, all homemade with homebakes at morning and afternoon break. All we had to bring were our own sewing machines and projects. Lovely rooms. A treat to watch the sun rise over the Clyde. We were too early in the year to watch the Waverley Paddle Steamer sail by. Perhaps we'll see her or sail on her during our next retreat. The house was spotless with great attention to detail through out. Rooms all co-ordinated We shared a weekend of laughter, quilting with no cooking or washing dishes. We thank Ken for his hard work, hospitality and for facilitaing a quilting retreat. The 4 of us left better friends than ever. We would highly recommend a retreat weekend whether it's for quilting, crochet or knitting. Even if there is only 2 of you or you would like to go on your own to meet other like minded crafter - contact Ken, you won't regret it. Thank you so much Ken. My husband and I have also stayed at Douglas Park for B&B. Highly recommend it to you all.

We had an afternoon walk to the aladin's cave of a sewing shop, not far from Douglas Park. An amazing selection of fabric and wools. The 2 Alisons, running the shop that day, shared a fountain of information, making us very welcome. Worth a visit, if you love fabrics, wools and crafts.

Kenny was a great host and the views across the water from the dining room stupendously beautiful. Kenny has been in the Dunoon area for a long time and his family genuinely loves the place unlike so many of us who take our own back yards for granted. The room I had was warm and cosy and the bed had a very comfortable mattress. It is a lovely spot and I would highly recommend this as a place to stay. Thank you Kenny and Tilley!

Ken gave us a great welcome, and we enjoyed his hospitality throughout our stay The Douglas Park has a wonderful view over the Clyde, and it also provides a convenient centre for exploring Cowal

We were recommended to the Lorne for our evening meal. Ken booked a table for our first night and we returned each evening.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you Mrs B for a lovely 5 star review. I know you had great fun exploring the Cowal peninsula. I hope to see you back again as I have many more beaches and secret roads to tell you about, so you can go and explore some more. Best wishes to you both, Ken.

Ken is the epitome of a gracious host. Everything is immaculate. Rooms are large with everything you need. Baths are very large and modern. The sea is just across the road from Douglas Park G H and presents a great vista. Breakfast was perfect with many choices.

The ferry is 200 meters from the guest house.

A lovely guest house situated in a perfect spot for scenery and location. A wonderful walk into town or indeed and kind of rambling. Ken, the owner, is kind and thoughtful and can't do enough to make your stay enjoyable. Breakfast was great, plenty of it and cooked perfectly. Will certainly stay here again if I'm ever up this way again.

Very welcoming host, from the booking process onwards. Delightful property, very well maintained and super clean. The breakfast was of high quality and with variety of options second to none. I would enthusiastically recommend it.
