Guest Reviews

• Laura (7/5): -
• David (10/5): Good value and a comfortable stay. - Everything was clean and smart, and occasionally quirky and amusing. Breakfasts were tasty and delivered promptly.
• Shaw (10/5): Very nice stay. - It is clean and cosy and nicely decorated. Access and parking is good, and the owners are nice. I didn't opt for breakfast this time but have stayed once before, and it's nice to have it brought to the room in the morning.
• Desmond (9/5): A cosy little haven in a beautiful place - Very near lovely places to visit I like a breakfast room. Hard to drive around due to the many speed limits20/30/40/50time for the council to cop on set one slow speed limit 30 & on general 50
• Shirley (10/5): -
• Alistair (8/5): Relaxed well located, running a course locally idear location - N/A Room too hot at times, could not adjust, had to open window at times. I'm not used to a hot room my own preference. Really loved room nice an modern.
• Michael (10/5): -
• Teresa (9/5): -
• thomas (10/5): Fantastic - Lovely rooms friendly staff There want anything that I didn't like
• Trevor (10/5): An excellent stay after a long day travelling by train, very relaxing - Unfortunately we had to leave at 6am to catch a train at the nearby station, so did not partake of the breakfast. In fact because we let ourselves in late, we did not in fact meet the owners, but we did leave them an letter of approval, apologising for leaving so early. The room decor, jungle themed was terrific
• Ferguson (10/5): -
• Kyra (9/5): Perfect for a familiar, authentic and calm stay in Scotland! - My mom and I had an absolutely lovely stay. The rooms where cute and clean. We enjoyed the breakfast-in-the-room service. The location is beautiful and close to the sea but also to the train station. (Also with the car your quick in Glasgow, Edinburgh or even Loch Lomond). For everyone who fancy’s a familiar setting over a big hotel complex this is absolutely perfect!
• Margaret (5/5): Bit disappointing. - Good location for us and easy parking at the door. Quirky decoration which was interesting. Wonderful shower! Didn’t get breakfast although I thought I’d ordered it but it wasn’t on the form. As breakfast was served in the room it would have been very cramped although it was called a de lux twin room. Not much space in the room for 2 people and clothes. No contact - or practically none with the hosts.
• Thea Cornelia (7/5): -
• Colin (8/5): - Easy to find and easy access with key box N/a
• Imelda (3/5): Key code was send via text late. No reply on the request asked. - Kettle was filthy.
• ANDREW (8/5): Nice place at a sensible price. -
• Doreen (8/5): - The location is very good for public transport close by. The local hotel was a short walk away and have a great choice of meals.
• Sara (9/5): Really great stay. Perfect pit stop in Inverkip. Thanks - Great bright quirky decor Location close to good inn Parking was fab Great towels & bedlinen A little cold. Couldn’t get rad to get going Shower nice and jut though. Thanks
• Jean (10/5): - Lovely accommodation . Buses run regularly to Largs and greenock. Not much in Inverkip but a lovely place to visit
• Ailsa (8/5): Quirky decor, comfy beds - Clean, convenient & speedy communication Very cold on arrival but this was quickly resolved by the host
• Evija (10/5): Great property easy self check in. Great communication. -
• Margaret (7/5): -
• Amanda (8/5): -
• Christina (9/5): Perfekter Zwischenstopp auf unserer Schottland - Rundfahrt! - Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Wir hatten drei Doppelzimmer gebucht und jedes war individuell schön. Das Frühstück wurde nach Vorbestellung zum Zimmer gebracht und war sehr gut. Nichts.
• Sheila (10/5): - Excellent location, free car parking, comfy and cosy bed, great shower, friendly and helpful hosts.
• Gillian (7/5): needed to be able to access more beddingh. Otherwise lovely - We were COLD
• Carol (8/5): - The hosts were very friendly. Room was lovely. Would recommend x
• Alison (8/5): Happy - Clean, comfortable room.
• Robert (9/5): Enjoyed the hotel, the setting and the village. - Nice spot, near to the railway station and in a lovely area. All keys and no contact. Very efficient but can’t get used to the non personal communication these days. Would much prefer some contact. Doesn’t have to be laboured. 5 mins for a hello.
• Elaine (9/5): - Everything Nothing
• Mary (8/5): - Cleanliness & near to a good pub. Good selection of teas
• Chris (3/5): Won’t be back. Unsatisfactory. - Close to pub No staff at all. Self log in check in and no response to my response to WhatsApp’s.
• Tracey (10/5): -
• Ian (10/5): Excellent establishment ,highly recommended. Will stay again - Stayed before, excellent location. A bin in the room would be handy.
• Suzanne (6/5): Great location - Nice clean room. Had requested 2 single beds but room was set up as a double. Didn't have breakfast had no idea where to get it or order it. Better breakfast information would be of benefit.
• Louise (8/5): -
• Nigel (9/5): Comfirtable stay. - Clean comfortable quiet room. Good bed. Good sized ensuite and shower. Plenty of complimentary tea/coffee
• Scott (8/5): Nice Area and a Quiet Sleep - The room looked bigger than in the pictures. Definitely not a tiny place. It had the right facilities, with a comfy bed, spacious enough walk in shower and internet / YouTube on TV. Along with some tea and coffee options. Cannot argue overall with the room. It's definitely not bad at all and for a single stay, I can't fault it too much. The top floor is shared between 4 rooms but it still felt very quiet around the house. The bathroom is private per room and outdoor noise was not an issue, due to the location. The window seemed stuck at the top and I was unable to shut it. This left a cold breeze in the room overnight. I didn't want to risk breaking it but I managed to keep warm once under the blankets. Check out was 10am, despite 11am being listed online. That worked okay but it was just odd that it was different to what was advertised. So it's just a point to keep note of.
• ANDREW (9/5): Affordable, very pleasant room, nice bathroom, would stay again. - There was a small issue with the room the owner was very upfront about and I appreciated the heads up on the situation and it was not a problem during my stay. I've nothing to complain about
• James (9/5): Pleasant and peaceful. M SENT - Very quiet location, but not far from the main road. Good to have tea/coffee available in the room with the nice touch of a couple of Tunnock's Tea Cakes. Striking, colourful decor. Comfortable beds and lovely soft, thick towels. A very minor issue was only a single hand towel, which I'm sure would have been sorted had we asked. Not a problem, given the bath sheets. On the second night there was no nearby parking, but we found a place less than 5 minutes away from the guest house.
• Nick (10/5): Exceptional -
• Barrie (10/5): Awesome place, would very much go again! - Ease of access, owners are awesome and very eager to help. I enjoy a movie before going to sleep and the TV wouldn't play ball.
• Norman (6/5): Pleasant - The room was fine but could do with a fresh coat of paint.
• Frances (10/5): very nice - exceptional all good
• Charlotte (7/5): Lovely location , hope to visit again - Check in was easy with good communication. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Location was also good as great walks nearby .Parking was easy to find The curtains allowed light in so at 5am the room was quite light. The shower head would not stay in position and the toilet roll holder fell off the wall. Thankfully these are all simple fixes.
• Erin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (9/5): Superb -
• Jane (8/5): Overnight stay - Stopped off mid journey for central location.
• Nick (9/5): Superb -
• Marilyn (9/5): Superb -
• Gary (8/5): Very good - Easy to find with good parking. A short walk to harbour area. Quiet building. Breakfast was as described. Great communication. Be Happy. Needs a bigger bin. That is all.
• Andrew (9/5): Superb - Good value, quiet and comfortable. Nothing
• David (9/5): Very pleasant overnight stay with nice light breakfast - Comfortable and clean with friendly host Nothing
• Linda (8/5): Enjoyable - Spotless well equipped It would have been good to have a couple of glasses to drink from
• Donald (6/5): Ok but the next time I shall look for accommodation with better parking facilities. - The room was clean and the bed was comfortable I thought it was quite expensive for just a bed with no breakfast provided. Parking was difficult. There was no parking available in the street outside the guest house. I parked in the car park at the rear of the property but a tradesman parked so close to my driver side door I had to get into my car via the passenger door. This was not easy for a 74 year old man at 5 in the morning.
• Alexander (10/5): Our stay at the foresters guest house - We enjoyed our stay at the foresters perfect location to visit our friends in the village next time we visit inverkip we will definitely book in to the foresters guest house again No dis likes at all
• Hughes (5/5): Adequate but smelly - Place was clean Thought I'd booked bed and breakfast but was told I booked room only. No way to secure bathroom door. Latch was faulty. Too much air freshener in the whole building. Some of us are fragrance sensitive and we found the air freshener overwhelming.
• Debbie (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful clean & bright room, close to a pub/restaurant in a quiet waterside town Nothing
• Felicity (7/5): Breakfast is no longer available here. The room is good. - Clean, spacious room. Convenient for the train station. Quiet location. The Tunnocks teacakes were nice. It was disappointing to find out that breakfast is no longer available here. It has been discontinued recently. There is only a Venetian blind at the window, which lets in a lot of light. Inverkip is very small, there isn't much there. The general area is scenic, so would probably stay at another town nearby next time.
• Jane (9/5): Location very useful for access to nearby ferry services - The room although small was tastefully furnished and very comfortable. A very nice hotel close by to eat It would have helped if the booking agency had clearly informed host that twin room was required as the host had not made up separate beds and had to rectify this immediately upon being informed by us of this issue
• Joanna (10/5): Just what we needed to recharge the batteries- thank you. - Location was perfect for us. The room was spacious comfortable and well maintained. Very comfy bed. The Tunnochs tea cake was a lovely touch too. Shower room was spacious. As I personally have mobility issues, a hand rail at the bottom step of the stairs would’ve been useful
• Roy (9/5): I's book again without concern. - Hosts very accommodating and running a clean and comfortable homely stop over. Hostess very smiley, bless you for making us so welcome. Nothing. Perfect as it was
• Noreen (10/5): Exceptional - Everything, . Nothing to not like
• Nick (9/5): Superb -
• Nick (9/5): Superb -
• John (10/5): Good B&B with welcoming hosts - Clean and comfortable Nil
• Margaret (9/5): A lovely b&b at Inverkip and very good value for money. - A friendly welcome, lovely bedroom with well appointed bathroom with toiletries and fluffy towels. Good shower, very comfy bed, good tv. Nice breakfast choices. The whole b&b looked well maintained and beautifully clean. Parking outside the property was a bonus. Wi-Fi available. Nothing
• Norn (8/5): Very good -
• Barry (8/5): Nice and comfy gem - Very simple to get to and nicely tucked away from a busy road. Comfy bed and facilities were great. Tea and coffee facilities not good and the room smelled of fresh paint which whilst it gave me a headache, did mean it looked very clean and tidy.
• Christianson (3/5): Poor -
• Hellen (10/5): A really great place to use a base before or after going to Bute or exploring the area. - Room was clean and decorated with some lovely quirky and clever features. Breakfast provided in advance as we had an early checkout. Nothing it was great
• Shaw (9/5): Lovely homely stay. - The room was lovely and the breakfast too, served in the room. There's ample parking close by and easy access via a lockbox in the porch. My only problem was the TV remote or aerial not getting a good signal, but having reported it I'm sure it'll be sorted soon. I would happily stay here again.
• Bruce (9/5): Really good guest house. Clean and friendly. Nice decor. -
• Gordon (5/5): lacks any human personal touch. all done electronically like a robot - there is no personal contact with staff other than when they pass in breakfast.entry is supposed to be 4.00pm till 10.00pm i waited till 9.12pm before they sent me my room number and key box entry. totally unacceptable. and that was only after i sent an email and phone to only be put on an answerphone service..
• David (8/5): Good location, nice room and breakfast - Location great for our family in Wemyss Bay. Breakfast nice and served in our room. Staff friendly.
• Valerie (8/5): Very good -
• Jennifer (9/5): Fantastic guest house, would highly recommend. - Beautiful place, really comfy beds, very clean, the twin room I stayed in was really nice decor, it flowed with quirky bed wall lamps matched the wall paper and other bits about. Heather is lovely, very welcoming, attentive, was very prompt to reply to a couple messages I sent. Highly recommend N/A
• Tony (10/5): Lovely little base close to the pretty marina and beach for walks - Lovely big room with a comfortable large bed with plenty of tea and coffee available, we were visiting the area for a family funeral as we no longer live in Scotland and the Foresters was lovely and peaceful and private, which was exactly what we we wanted, breakfast served on a tray to your door in the morning was much better than the shared dining room situations we have experienced elsewhere at other B&B's.
• Sharon (10/5): Exceptional - Beds are really squishy and comfortable, tea cakes a lovely touch with plenty of tea and coffee 🥰 Netflix was a fantastic touch. All good, cute and quirky little place.
• Colin (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (8/5): Very good -
• Katrina (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, spacious rooms in very convenient location. It was quiet and peaceful. Easy check-in process.
• Luke (8/5): We enjoyed our stay and would stay again - Quiet location Tap water didn’t get warm
• Neil (7/5): Good clean b+b nice room just a little cold room number 3 - Breakfast ok Better heating in room
• Joshua (9/5): Superb -
• Inman (8/5): Very good -
• Sara (7/5): Clean room in nice location, a few small changes would make it a more pleasant user experience. - It was very clean and the location was well suited for exploring that part of the world. We highlighted an issue with the shower head and the hosts implemented a temporary solution the same day. There was only one accessible power point, which was on the other side of the room from the kettle and the bed. The blinds did not block the street lighting.
• Fiona (8/5): lovely guest house - beautiful rooms and nice breakfast brought to the room, plenty parking in a quiet village, bed was very comfy. self check-in was good as we prefer that and was easy no curtain in the bedroom only a blind so let in alot of light in the morning, we asked for breakast at 9 but it came at 8.30 so wasnt quite ready for it
• Martin (9/5): It was great. We ate at the nearby hotel. All good - Breakfast deliveries ro the room . It was good comfortable bed and lovely towels.
• Pat_c (8/5): I would return - A very clean room which provided all you need (including two marshmallows with the tea and coffee :-) Entry details are provided before arrival by text. Breakfast delivered to your room at a time you choose. Choice included boiled egg & toast. Two filling (egg/bacon etc) roll. Yogurt, fruit and croissant or serial and toast. It is located in a very quiet area. Despite being only 10 degrees outside, I found room 3 very cold. So much so that in addition to using a spare blanket from the cupboard, I also wore my jumper in bed :-( However, as the bed was so comfy, I was soon asleep. I think the problem was caused be defective radiator controls, caused by a previous resident.
• Alan (7/5): Good -
• Kirstine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (8/5): Very good - Easy access tidy room bed comfy clean bathroom all iall a good stay The breakfast was tasty enough but no drinks on the options although saying that there was tea and coffee in the room but fruit juice on the breakfast options would have been good but not a deal breaker
• Christopher (6/5): Pleasant - Breakfasts in room could have been better.
• Vickie (7/5): Good - Good Everything was fine
• Cruiser8834 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ian (8/5): Very good -
• Sjc50 (6/5): Pleasant - The presentation was good, and the bathroom was clean. The mattress was not comfortable, I could feel the springs but for just one night fine. The breakfast was disappointing but could do much about that could we where sent a WhatsApp with the options on the check in day.
• Shelly (9/5): Superb - Very cosy. Lovely room. Lovely breakfast.
