Great find, highly recommended!
What a fabulous find! We decided on a last minute overnight and luckily found this great place. Really friendly welcome - the owners both work in the business - Pete front of house and Elliot is the chef responsible for the excellent food. We were in room 3, which was very spacious, with a settee at the foot of the very comfortable bed. The view over the Firth of Clyde is beautiful and it was lovely to wake in the morning and be able to enjoy it. The restaurant is really popular with locals and was fully booked but Pete sorted it out and we enjoyed an excellent, freshly prepared dinner. Wine and drinks were reasonably priced. The breakfast was also exceptional with beautiful prepared fresh fruit to start and cereals and an almost endless choice of cooked food to follow.

Excellent 3 night stay at the Osbourne. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. Pete & the front of house staff could not do enough & Elliott's crew in the kitchen produced some excellent food. Many thanks. Florence & Bob..

I cannot convey enough just how much Pete Ramsay and his incredible staff and local patrons were invaluable to me and my group of 5 people. I'm so grateful to have found this incredible establishment to spend a night at. Next time, I'll spend several nights in the company of these amazing angels that rose to our aid. Due to unforseen circumstances leading to a disabled rental car, Pete, Suzy, Elliot and others graciously helped us thru this sticky situation, and even tho we missed our dinner reservations, they made sure we had dinner thru another establishment that night, and fed us an amazing breakfast the next morning. The rooms we rented were fabulous, cozy and the beds were so comfortable! I had no hesitation leaving a generous tip for these angels who did not hesitate to rescue us. I definitely recommend The Osborne, and I will definitely be back, as they have my heart! And I would like to repay them with an easy fun visit! :)

The owner of the Osborne was excellent! He was very friendly when answering my questions before arrival and then introduced himself the first time he saw us. The bar was lovely as was the room. Very clean, spacious and had everything you would need. When we arrived for breakfast there was a lovely table set with fresh fruit, croissants, juice and tea/coffee was offered straight away. He then took our order for a cooked breakfast which was lovely. I couldnt fault the stay here and would definitely book here again when I'm back in Dunoon.

Ideal break
Pete and Elliot provided the warmest of welcomes, and couldn't be better hosts. The situation of the hotel on the seafront is exquisite, and very relaxing for a short break. Breakfast was great, and the evening menu delicious. The room was of a good size with a very comfortable mattress on the bed. Highly recommended all in all and we can't wait to go back

Sorry that you decided not to stay with us. The oil-filled radiator in your room is more than adequate to heat the room to a high temperature. The Restaurant is closed tonight as The Chef is entitled to a couple of days off holiday. Very well deserved This response is laughable, cold room, no food as advertised, asked for a refund, no refund hence this review, well, you keep your £60.

Fabulous Stay in The Osborne
This first class accommodation is only a short drive from Dunoon. Our room had a beautiful view across the loch, was immaculately clean, very comfortable bed. The breakfast was excellent, fresh fruit, croissants, cereal and full Scottish breakfast freshly cooked. Restaurant food was superb. Pete and Elliot(owners) were very welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this accomodation.
