YOUR RESORT
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.
TOWN CENTRE
Dunoon has one of the largest town centres in the area. Its main street is
partially pedestrianised and is filled with shops selling an array of goods, from
fresh bakery items to outdoor clothing.
LOCHS
Castle Gardens offer a delightful green space, rising from Dunoon's ferry port to the historic Castle House, which is now a museum. 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.
