“Enjoyable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

As previous reviewers have stated, Jenny is an extremely pleasant hostess. Nothing is too much trouble to her and she is very helpful in recommending places to eat.
We had the McGregor suit and the views across the Firth are very interesting.
Only a short drive from the car ferry Mayfair is well situated for that and the town centre.
The ferry itself is inexpensive and easy to board and exit.
Our first visit to Dunoon and it won't be our last.

“Abundant hospitality on the Firth of Clyde”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2010

I spent 4 nights at the Mayfair Guesthouse in early June 2010 and am so pleased that I chose this establishment over other guest houses in Dunoon. The spacious Victorian house dates from around 1859 and enjoys a commanding location half way up a short residential road about a mile from the centre of Dunoon, in Kirn, on the road to nearby Holy Loch. A number of the bedrooms afford splendid views across the Firth of Clyde, my room included. Accommodation is spacious and well maintained. I found that nothing was too much trouble for my hosts Dennis and Jenny Grayson, and although this charming couple came originally from Manchester, they have built up a wealth of knowledge about the best places to visit on the surrounding Cowal Peninsula and beyond. Finally the best till last: Dennis cooks a truly scrumptious Scottish breakfast which is assured of satisfying the hungriest of guests. I should happily recommend the Mayfair to anybody visiting Cowal.

“highly recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2010

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Mayfair staying in the Mcgregor suite. The ensuite room was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay including freeview TV,and the complementary tea, coffee and biscuits were replenished daily. Jenny and Dennis made us feel more than welcolme and went out of their way to ensure that we had everything we needed. Dennis ensured that we had a hearty cooked breakfast each morning to set us up for the day and then also provided information regarding places to visit and routes to get there to ensure we had good biking roads. Neither Jenny nor Dennis had any objections to the fact that we arrived on a motorbike (which does happen at some b&b's and hotels) and even provided a piece of slate to ensure it was parked safely on the shingle car park.
We would not hesitate to recommend this b&b to anyone travelling to Dunoon, they would certainly be assured of a warm and friendly welcolme and a very comfortable stay.

“Lovely friendly B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2010

We stayed in the Macgregor Room with a superb view over the Clyde and the bathroom also has seaview. Room was quite big, the furniture maybe a bit dated but everything was very tidy and clean. Jenny was very friendly, gave lots of tips of where to go and Dennis' s breakfast was great, very filling and set us up for the rest of the day. A very friendly place that I can certainly recommend for anyone stopping off in Dunoon
