Detailed Reviews
Myself and 3 others stayed at the Montague Villa, we had booked 2 double rooms for 6 nights over New Year, both had been really well decorated and felt really homely and cozy and were really clean, we were really impressed as both the rooms had a great view of Holy Lock from them which was lovely to wake up to. All the rooms also had their own ensuite bathrooms, a mini fridge, TV, kettle, cups etc. The B&B is only a 7 minute drive from the ferry which was really convenient. We had a good explore of Dunoon and the surrounding areas, there are some lovely pubs in Dunoon town centre (only a 3-5 minute drive from the B&B), also took a lovely drive to Colintraive and would highly recommend a trip to Benmore Botanic Gardens which is only a 5 minute drive from the B&B. Drew and Alison are lovely people, very welcoming and accommodating and we even asked Alison if she would come back home with us to cook for us as her cooking was brilliant. Would definitely recommend staying here.

If there is a better guesthouse in Dunoon I’d love to see it. The Montague Villa not only met our expectations, it vastly exceeded them. Alison and Drew could not do enough to ensure our stay was a happy one. The rooms are immaculate and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing as it caters for all tastes.
We have been to 4 star hotels that don’t match the quality and service of The Montague.
The rooms have everything you need with tea, coffee, sweets and biscuits replenished daily. Sanitisation is of paramount importance to the hosts and we felt extremely safe. If you want to go to Dunoon, do yourself a favour snd book the Montague Villa.
We fully intend on returning in the future.

I spent all of my childhood holidays in the Dunoon area so I was delighted to be back there for an overnight at the Montague Villa. The view from the bedroom was breathtaking and I could have watched The Holy Loch for the whole trip. The hosts Allison and Drew could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The bedroom and the other public parts of the B&B were absolutely spotless and beautifully decorated. Lots of lovely things in this home to enjoy looking at. Breakfast was perfect. Added entertainment was 6 chickens in the back garden!!!

This family run B&B in Sandbank on the shores of the Holy Loch was a ‘chance’ find and proved to be a gem. It is easily reached from the Central Scotland M8 motorway using the Western Ferries Cloch Point to Hunter’s Quay crossing for vehicles or from Glasgow Central Station taking the train to Gourock and then the passenger only ferry to Dunoon. Alternatively it can be reached from Inveraray or via the Rest & Be Thankful.
It was opened a couple of years ago be Alison and Drew who showed me around.
The guest house is clean and tastefully decorated and as three of us had to have an early start the next morning breakfast (pre-ordered) was brought forward to 7am without any problem at all. The choices included cereals, tea, coffee, fruit juice and anything from the main breakfast menu including bacon, egg, sausage, mushrooms, black pudding, tomatoes, etc. I’m sure vegetations would also be well catered for, but I didn’t go down that route!!
There was an excellent selection of teas, coffees and biscuits in the bedroom and ample toiletries were also provided. The room also had a small fridge containing bottled water.
All in all, Montague Villa was an excellent ‘find’ which I can highly recommend.

The bed was comfortable and we had everything we wanted. We appreciated the extra touches
like a fridge with fresh milk and water in the room. The breakfast was excellent and the home made jam another nice touch. Drew and Alison made us very welcome

My friend and I spent the night before my wedding at Montague Villa. We live in Dunoon so it wasn't far from the venue.
We were greeted by Drew when we arrived. He was exceptionally friendly and showed us to our room which was just gorgeous. He gave us a menu for breakfast to leave downstairs for the morning.
Back to the room. There were 2 single beds which were so comfortable. It was like sleeping on a cloud! The ensuite was lovely and modern with a fully stocked cupboard of toiletries, they had thought of everything. There was a fridge in the room with water and milk and plenty of coffee, different teas and a selection of biscuits. There was even a plate of sweets.
Breakfast was amazing. Our eggs were cooked to perfection and my friend enjoyed the full fry up (I was too nervous to eat much). The coffee was fresh and in cafetieres. Delicious!
Drew and Alison were amazing hosts and were very accommodating to my hair stylist and makeup artist.
We had a lovely stay and my only regret was that I hadn't booked my wedding night at Montague Villa 😊

We highly recommend Montague Villa. Drew and Alison were welcoming hosts and the Lewis room provided the perfect place to rest after an active day exploring local attractions. Although on the main road the traffic noise was minimal and virtually nil overnight. The room was thoughtfully furnished and all necessities were at hand. Alison has anticipated every need and provided it before you’ve even thought you need it. Small touches like binoculars in the room to look across the loch are examples of the efforts Alison and Drew have gone to, to make your stay enjoyable. Breakfasts were flavoursome and plentiful, with plenty of choice. Also provided is a guest lounge for those that want to enjoy a comfortable evening in homely surroundings.
