Ideally situated on the Highland side of the Erskine Bridge the Dumbuck appears to be an ideal place stop off when after a long drive North. First impressions of the Dumbuck when arriving is of a once grand hotel which has fallen into disrepair. The gardens appear neglected and generally untidy. On entering the Dumbuck the reception has been recently... More

We stayed here whilst we were visiting friends nearby.Not sure I would stay here other than for convenience.Rooms were OK although the view was of a flat roof and the back of a building.Corridors scruffy but reception area/bar/restaurant all re-vamped if a little garish.Food was good and all the staff were helpful and welcoming.The best part was the £35.00 bill...

We stayed at the Dumbuck for a family wedding. The Hotel has been nicely decorated and is clean and modern. Our room was very well appointed with a large bathroom containing a bath and seperate shower, an extremely comfy bed and a walk in wardrobe. The wedding side of things was excellent - great food & great silver service. On... More

After a friendly greeting, myself and my partner were sat in the well finished dining room. The only waitress that seemed to be on duty gave us the lunch menu which for a hotel is tiny, 5 main courses, of which all available at the nearby asda cafe, we sat for almost ten minutes (which isn't long to employees but...

Ate in the newly re-opened Dumbuck at the end of Feb. Service was really poor, as if everyone bar one guy, was on their first night of training. In terms of food. Mozzarella sticks were good. Mussels were awful! So small, nowhere to put shells and tomato sauce still refrigerated. Mains were average. Penne Pollo and Penne Arrabiata. Desserts were... More

The food in restaurant was brilliant and we ate there both nights, the drinks in the bar were also really reasonably priced. Therefore we booked to go back for new year with our friends in a standard room, unfortunately... More

My colleague and I spent two nights here whilst attending a course and will be there again shortly for the dreaded exam!!! Despite its slightly quirky decor (think ...night club/ Adams family/Beckham wedding!), it is a good place to stay. Any wee problems with my room were sorted out with no fuss, the food was very good ,if again a... More

Just had an excellent weekend stay at this recently re-opened hotel on the edge of Dumbarton . The room we stayed in was on the small side and lacked a desk but the wardrobe was well designed to give maximum storage. We ate in the restaurant and were well impressed with quantity and quality of all meals. Service was excellent... More

It had been a long time since we dined in the Dumbuck. We were there yesterday and were delighted with the food and the ambiance of this tastefully decorated establishment. Well worth giving it a try.
