The Cot House Inn

I contacted the Cothouse Inn to cater my sisters hen do at a local holiday home. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. They brought it straight to the door and were in communication through out. Thank you for making a special weekend extra special.

We had a Lovely meal served by friendly lady who couldn’t be more helpful.  Will definitely be back.  Dessert could have been a larger slice of cake than was given which is the only complaint I have. Good location in Dunoon and lovely views around

Wanted a place to watch the Euros and popped in here to enquire if they’d be showing the match, they could not have been more helpful. We had an excellent meal. The owner was so welcoming and friendly the place was absolutely spotless. I would def recommend this restaurant.

Highly recommend.

The food server at this hotel is excellent. On a recent holiday, we enjoyed to evening meals at the hotel. All the food was of superior flavoured quality, served by very attentive staff.

Staying at The Cothouse Inn was a delightful experience. The room was lovely and spotlessly clean. Dinner was amazing. The size of portions ensure you don't go hungry. Breakfast was fabulous, we didn't need to eat again until 6pm in the evening, it was a feast.
Billy, Joyce & team were all very attentive whilst following current guidelines.
If you traveling to the Cowal area and looking for somewhere to stay, I would highly recommend The Cothouse Inn. A little gem with a relaxing atmosphere just a couple of miles outside Dunoon.

Excellent room. Delicious food. 

Spent a night in Argyll with my girlfriend to explore Benmore Botanic Gardens and the area around Dunoon.

We were very impressed by the CotHouse Inn, particularly given how unassuming it looks from the outside. The rooms are very modern, clean and cosy. The restaurant has recently been renovated and they serve amazing food. I would highly recommend staying here, you will be pleasantly surprised and its great value for money.

As an added bonus the staff were lovely!!

Arrival
Rang ahead to see if they were dog friendly but they did say that they had to wait from the Environmental Health to see if they can accept dogs.  
When we arrived we parked in the car park and left our dogs in the car, we entered via the back door and then had to go through to the front door to complete a form via an online QR code which was easy and then got to the website and make a booking as we hadnt done  that but it which was easy  we was then shown to a table.

Staff
All staff wore masks and followed the covid-19 guide lines with routine which was nice to see.  We was asked if we wanted food all we ordered was two coffees.

Drinks
Drinks where lovely and reasonably priced at £2.20 each.

Pricing - reasonably priced

Outside
The outside has a large decked area which is great to sit if the weather is good, and ideal if you have dogs.

Overall
Spotlessly clean everywhere
Price is good  for what you get
Booking is easy
Website very informative
Would definetly recommend this to other people.
Santisers where available at the reception area

Visited the dining area twice on a recent stay in the Dunoon area. Although the place was quiet, the full menu was available, the welcome was warm and the service excellent. The food was well prepared and well presented with fresh veg and quality meat.Very much enjoyed.

Saw this place out of corner of my eye when we visited the garage for fuel one day of our short trip to the area. Thought it looked lovely so we went back to our cabin and informed the rest of our family that we could try it out for dinner the following evening.

I have to say at first we were worried about what it would be like as we saw its just reopened and could not find menus or any info online about the place so we were considering going elsewhere but thought we would give it a try on our last night!

We went down at about 6pm and there were no cars in the car park. Which is probably normal for mid week as it was still quite early.

When we went inside we were really surprised at how lovely this place actually was!! Its very modern, beautifully decorated. Now, I never seen what it was like with previous owners but it certainly looked as if it had been newly refurbished!

We were greeted by a very friendly gentleman and we decided to sit in the conservatory area which was absolutely beautiful. Again, really wonderful decor. The stoney walls are a lovely touch. (See pictures).

I am not lying when I say the food here was absolutely excellent. 5 star!!

The portions were huge!!! We all struggled with them and for the price it was just excellent!! For the 4 of us we had nachos, soup and goats cheese starter. Then steak, chicken curry, Macaroni cheese and chicken burger for main and sticky toffee and coconut pana cotta for puds. Every single thing was extremely tasty! The nachos, I am not joking were enough for 3 people and they were so delicious.

It was such a shame to see such a lovely place with hardly any customers. I am really hoping that more people, both holiday makers and locals alike discover this place and give it a try! Maybe once the website is up and running and more reviews come in, it will be more busy which would be wonderful to see as it's such an amazing wee place! Staff were friendly, food was delicious and the atmosphere was so relaxed and chilled out. 

My only regret is that I love too far away to visit again soon but hopefully in the future, if I ever visit the area again, I will definitely be back here! Maybe next time it will be busier as it definitely deserves the custom.

The card machine wasnt working, that was our only issue but we managed to get cash back at garage so wasn't a real problem and I'm sure it will be rectified soon.

Please see photos attached of our food and decor etc. Yes, it did taste as good as it looks! 

Thank you to the chef and staff for a lovely evening meal! I hope to see you in the future.



Re-opened under new ownership.Food is excellent and the bedrooms are finished to a very high standard.We stayed overnight on the first day of the re-launch and were not disappointed.Loch Fyne hot smoked salmon is to die for,ox cheek and chicken curry are also very nice,everything the four of us tried was first class and we really enjoyed the whole experience at the Inn,we would recommend a visit.

7 of us ate here after staying on holiday locally,  the welcome was amazing from the waitress/bar lady.. Food menu was limited but what we had was very nice and well cooked, catered for vegetarian and gluten free comfortably.  

Cocktails were freshly prepared and very nice.

Only minor complaint was that there was only 1 person working the bar/restaurant so there was a wait but what was delivered was excellent.

Would visit again.

Great food and drink

A delightful experience

A Very Pleasant Surprise

First of all good to see this place opened again. The food was really good menu limited but to be expected at the moment with covid rules, burgers,risotto, garlic bread all perfectly cooked and good size portions. Creme brulee, strawberry homemade cheesecake and toffee waffle and ice cream delicious.
Now the downside 3 hours for a meal for 4 is ridiculous one waitress doing all the work who I might say did a great job still with a smile the owners wife tried to help but admitted she had no idea what she was doing.  
We will come back and hopefully more staff as I cant fault anything else.

Good Food reasonable prices

Great Place that we found on our travels

Visited late afternoon and was offered special afternoon menu at £9.50 for 2 courses
Excellent value and excellent food, the steak and ale pie is recommended. We added a sweet for £2.00
The decor is amazing and the staff friendly and welcoming
It was quiet and deserves the support of more locals and hopefully will be there a long time 

Visiting old haunts

Delicious food, friendly staff and lovely decor! 

The Cot House had just reopened last week and it is early in the season so there weren’t many people in but we were particularly impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of the staff on both occasions we visited this week, the first time for a drink and the second time for a meal. The food was good, well presented and the portions were generous. My only little niggle would be it would have been preferable to have ‘proper’ chips with my fish as opposed to fries. I still enjoyed my meal, the fish was delicious without a trace of grease and the mushy peas and tartare sauce were good. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his burger, fries and onion rings. We’d certainly return if in the area again and will recommend to others we know are holidaying in the area soon.
