A Hidden Gem on the Clyde. The Spinnaker Hotel, Gourock.
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.

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.

Lovely for a quick break
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.
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

Ok as a stopover on our journey.
Location was good but our room overlooked the back of the building. Breakfast and evening meal were good.
Very small room as we were travelling with two dogs. Was a busy pub, so check-in was a bit chaotic.

upstairs rooms with a sea view would have been much better.
Location is fabulous with some of rhe best views you could want.
Room on ground floor is small, should be a single room.
Access to outside that they boast on their Web site is blocked by drawers and a pole for hangers.
Big issue is noise from restaurant/bar whose door is just across the corridor and a toilet door is adjacent to your room door.
