Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Best food in Dunoon

Feb 2020 • friends

We have been numerous times the food is outstanding and staff always make you feel welcome. Not many tables so always best to book first. You must try the homemade ice cream, different flavours each week but lemon curd / baileys is a must try. Lovely pub with great ambience and free food on the bar!

Absolutely delightful Sunday Lunch.

Sept 2021 • none

I visited The Strone Inn with my daughter and her husband and had the most delicious roast beef dinner I have ever tasted. It was a joy to have a selection of delicious fresh vegetables, a generous helping of lean, tender roast beef and the best gravy I have ever tasted, all served piping hot, especially the roast potatoes. The local people are among the friendliest you could wish to meet and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

Well above average pub meal

Jun 2022 • couples

First time on recommendation and very pleased will visit again. Firstly lovely hosts very welcoming when we walked in, table has lovely view over the loch. Menu limited but good, had a dish that was new on menu chicken orzo, being a fussy eater wasnt sure I would like it, absolutely delicious loved it. Husband being a chef nightmare eating out had not one complaint one of the best steak pies full of meat and no soggy pastry and I finished with lemon posset perfect. Nothing was reheated about 10 minute wait for it to be cooked which is fine to get decent food. Will bring family from England out next month thank you.

Thanks for your lovely review. We do keep the menu fairly limited. 6 starters, 8 mains and 4 desserts because that means we can offer everything home cooked and fresh. Like you say the pie takes 15 minutes or so as they’re all cooked to order but it’s well worth the wait See you soon Stephen

Sunday Lunch

Dec 2020 • couples

Delicious Sunday lunch served beside the wood burning stove with a view out to sea. We had langoustines and mussels to start and roast beef with all the trimmings for a main. Covid safe, friendly and excellent service. Look forward to another time.

The diamond of the Cowal peninsula

Aug 2020 • couples

Sean and Steven are the greatest hosts I've come across in many years. The friendly relaxed atmosphere is a definate draw. The danger is you don't want to leave once ensconced in great company and good beer. We will return Linda's Sunday lunch is great. Meat choices are local and this is reflected in the high quality of the product. The Roast potatoes are deviously great. Book early to avoid disappointment. In short, hospitality at its best and the locals are very welcoming.

Great vegetarian/vegan food and super friendly service.

May 2023 • family

What a great little find. If you are in the area and need some really good food then you must go to this place. Really delicious vegetarian and vegan options and the service was so relaxed and friendly we all came away with full tummies and smiles on our faces. Can not recommend this place enough. It's not big so I would recommend booking so you don't miss out.

We ate here twice during our stay in kilmun and both times the food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and helpful and service was great. It is dog friendly and everyone made a big fuss of ours while we were there. I would highly recommend eating here or just coming in for a wee dram as they also have some very nice whisky.

Gem of a pub

Great pub , very friendly locals ,and fish & chips are excellent. The only problem now is it has to close for 16 days as national lockdown comes into effect. Good luck , hope all turns out well.

Great Pub!

Jan 2023 • couples

Fantastic friendly pub with amazing food. We ate here on a busy Friday evening. The staff made room for us and our dog even though most of the tables were booked. Food was really tasty and the landlord had some good hand pulled ales in. We will definitely visit again if in the area.

Friendly and great food

Mar 2023 • couples

We spent a month in Blairmore, Dunoon, and had several wonderful meals and evenings at the Strone Inn. The food is delicious and while the fish & chips and steak pie are great, they also have many inventive and out-of-the ordinary dishes each week too. Check out the weekly menu on their Facebook page. Plus, it's exactly the kind of place you think of when you want a neighborhood pub. We met many of the locals, enjoyed watching the Six Nations matches, even won at the pub quiz! Highly recommend if you are in the Dunoon area.

Visiting locally and wondered in and couldn't be made to feel more welcome by Stephen, Shaun and all the locals, especially Arthur. Never got to try the food as fully booked but looked amazing and Linda has perfected her menu. Hope to be back next year to see you all again!

Love this place

Sept 2021 • friends

We visited a few weeks ago for the first time with friends. Wow, love it. Linda is a great cook. The menu was fabulous and I'm quite picky but 3 courses, beautiful wine (beers for the boys) and fab service. We even got the bus there and back no problem so you dont need a car. Been back already 😍

Friendly & dog friendly

Jul 2024 • family

Such a friendly pub. Loved our dogs, gave them treats. People came over and introduced themselves to us, just lovely. Food was amazing and the bar staff very attentive & polite. Price was very reasonable. Only open Thursday through to Sunday which was very disappointing whilst we only had a week in Dunoon but well worth the wait. Thank you for making us so welcomed

Hospitality at its best

Aug 2020 • family

In our normal lives we are not regular pub goers. However since we were on holiday we found that the Strone Inn was the prefect distance for a pit stop on an evening walk. Most evenings we wandered in and found friendly hospitality waiting for us. There was a good range of beers, wines and of course whiskies. The more nights we went the longer we stayed. Sunday night was a really great night with good fun and conversation with the locals. Oh we must mention the ice cream! Oh my goodness it's the best ice cream that we have ever tasted! If you are ever in the area you are guaranteed a warm welcome and a great time!
