Set in Scotland's first National Park, Dunoon is two great resorts in one: a traditional seaside resort with marvellous sea views and plenty of amenities and a base from which to explore the rugged mountains of Argyll - some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland. It has lovely gardens, the remains of a castle, a four mile promenade and a 19th Century pier with panoramic views across the Clyde. Pleasure cruises run throughout the summer months sailing to destinations ranging from Loch Goil to Largs and Rothesay. You may even catch the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world, the Waverley, which is still a regular visitor to Dunoon. Nearby sports facilities include an indoor swimming pool, bowling greens, tennis courts and golf courses. There is a cinema and in the season, a range of entertainment at the Queens Hall. The resort stages international jazz and dance festivals and hosts the Cowal Highland Gathering, the biggest highland games festival.

 

 

Oban

Oban, Lorn & the Isles is a fascinating part of Argyll & the Isles with an amazing range of things to see and do, many of which you may never have done before.

 

 

As you approach you glimpse this bustling port from the top of the ‘Bealach-an-Righ’. As you sweep down the hill towards the expanse of the bay, the view opens up before you and one begins to appreciate why Oban has developed into Scotland’s most popular west-coast holiday town.

 

Go island hopping, walk in the wilderness, breathe pure air, watch magnificent sunsets and see starry skies that will take your breath away. You’ll also discover incredible wildlife, a rich Highland history and fabulous local food.

 

Inveraray is a town in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is on the western shore of Loch Fyne, near its head, and on the A83 road. It is a former royal burgh, the traditional county town of Argyll, and ancestral seat to the Duke of Argyll.

 

 

Loch Lomond is a lake in southern Scotland. It’s part of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. The surrounding highlands area is home to red deer and oak woodlands. On the eastern shore, footpaths and cycle trails criss-cross craggy Ben Lomond mountain and the smaller Conic Hill. Across the loch, Luss Heritage Path winds through rolling countryside and ancient Luss village, with its stone cottages.

 

Selborne Hotel

 

The Selborne Hotel is superbly situated looking South across the Clyde with rolling lawns reaching down to the promenade and water’s edge. All the public rooms and many of the bedrooms offer uninterrupted views of the river which is a constant source of interest. Dunoon is a great base to explore the surrounding attractions of Argyll Forest Park which is home to some of Scotland’s most spectacular mountain scenery, and nearby Benmore Botanic Garden. Don’t forget to upgrade to a room with a loch view to witness the extraordinary landscape on offer.

There are further green spaces at the restored Burgh Hall and between the Hall and St John's church. However the main open space in Dunoon is the beach on the shore of the Bonnie Clyde. Our hotel, the Selborne, includes a delightful lawn leading down to the river at West Bay, with exceptional views across to Muirshiel.
