The Spinnaker Hotel

Clean. Tasteful. Beautiful views and friendly staff. Bar always very welcoming too.

Love it all

Lovely atmosphere in the bar/restaurant. Lovely food. Staff, particularly at breakfast were very helpful and welcoming. The view at breakfast was breathtaking!

Room very comfortable, breakfast excellent.

The only aspect I would mention is that as I was on the ground floor the noise from the restaurant and bar was quite evident. However both nights I was so tired I fell asleep very quickly.

I liked that you could order the pub food to your room. It was perfectly lovely for the price you pay and the location suited my needs. I'd stay here again. Staff we were very accommodating too.

Parking wasn't super easy but you can find on street parking if you look for it.

Clean, great views, friendly and attentive staff, great breakfast, relaxed and homely vibe.

Appreciate it’s a pub type accommodation so pub noise did come through but not much disruption to sleep

We had a whistle-stop visit to Gourock this week to see family and, once again, chose to stay at The Spinnaker Hotel. I’m not usually one to revisit the same place, I like trying new spot, but the Spinnaker is my one exception. Quite simply, there’s nowhere else in Gourock that compares. The Spinnaker is a small, charming hotel with around 8–10 rooms, including a couple of accessible ones on the ground floor. We’ve stayed in several over the years, but Room 6 is our favourite, spacious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. It has a huge bed (big enough that you’d never know you’re sharing it..... unless you want to 😉), a lovely ensuite shower, and a bay window with a table and chairs where you can sit with a cuppa and soak in the stunning views of the Clyde (weather permitting!). Rooms start from about £80 per night, and they’re worth every penny, clean, warm, welcoming, and even pet-friendly, so your furry friends can join you too. The staff are another highlight. Every single person we’ve met has been genuinely kind, attentive, and clearly proud of the hotel. It’s a well-run team that really goes above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Now, the food and drinks, this is where the Spinnaker really shines. It’s always busy, popular with locals as well as guests, which tells you everything you need to know. Breakfast (around £10–£12) includes cereals, fruit, yogurt, and juices to help yourself to, plus freshly cooked hot options made to order. This time we tried the full “Spinny” breakfast, an omelette (which was fantastic), and a breakfast roll, all delicious, all enjoyed with those unbeatable views. For lunch and dinner, sides start at about £4, lunch dishes around £10, and main meals about £15. With nine of us dining over two days, we pretty much sampled the entire menu, from fish tacos to halloumi burgers, and every plate was cleared. The portions are generous, the ingredients fresh, and the flavours spot on.

Always too short a trip but that's not on the hotel! Will book longer for our next visit!

The location being next to the river was nice

The room was shabby and tired, it didn't feel clean, there was a draft from the window blowing over the bed.

we were upgraded to a room with a beautiful view overlooking the water, staff were friendly, breakfast was amazing

everything was perfect

Great food, great location and even better staff. Free upgrade and very attentive 🫶

No towels in room but provided on request.

The location was excellent, the staff were lovely and the one meal I had was very good.

I expected that in 2025, hotel guests would be able to connect to the WI-FI. We couldn't, we were told to just keep trying, it should work. It didn't.

Nice sized room, bathroom was bigger than expected. Great location with lovely views. Food was lovely and was good value for money. Would recommend to friends and family

There was nothing that we didn’t like although we did only stay for 1 night

Dog friendly Location Good food

Location was great along with friendliness of the team.

No desk in room to work from but was advised I could use table in main restaurant which was appreciated - nice quiet corner.

Friendly staff, superb view overlooking Clyde, great restaurant and bar

Front window had condensation which spoiled the view somewhat.

Room was lovely and the property overall is beautiful. The breakfast was nice, and included in the room rate. The view was spectacular.

The bathroom was a bit dated and the toilet seat was loose, and the shower wasn't very pleasant. It was hard to work out how to get it going, and the water flow was really pelty and hard.

Very comfortable fab views good location for ferries Excellent food. Staff lovely and helpful 10/10

Noisy night life

Location is good

No WiFi working. No tv programs on tv.

Enjoyed a wonderful 2 night stay at the Spinney. The staff were all really welcoming and friendly. Our room was comfortable & the bathroom was huge including a separate big bath & walk in rainfall shower.There were no river view rooms available but it really didn’t matter as there were gorgeous views from the lounges. We loved the Thursday night quiz & were delighted to join in. The breakfasts were fabulous as was the evening meal we booked on the first night.

All good

Location and views

The staff were all about good service
