The Coylet Inn

Really good food. We arrived at 1pm on a grey autumn day - parking was plentiful and the location is on the shore road so the views are brilliant. We popped in after walking around pucks glen (a few minutes away by car). The staff were really polite and helpful. We were a group of 2 adults, a 3 year old and a dog. Water bowls are available for dogs, restaurant is dog friendly, there is a separate kids menu (we went for nuggets and mash- she loved it!), I tried the T-bone steak that was well priced, plentiful and tested lovely. My partner tried the beef pie- again another great meal. We followed up with some deserts and were pleasantly surprised with the bill. We will definitely be returning

Visited the Coylet Inn today and couldn't fault the service or the food! Me, my partner and our dog were staying in a nearby lodge but our electric had been cut off! We were looking around for a place to eat and this definitely was the best choice. Greeted by the owner with a smile, quick service and lovely food. We sat by the warm fire and our dog was treated very well too :-) thank you for a lovely experience hope to be back soon!

We love this place ❤ Food is so good!! The staff are brilliant and so helpful 👏 The Coylet Inn has the most stunning view of Loch Eck no matter the season. No wonder everyone stops in for a photo opportunity!! Dog friendly and a great cosy traditional scottish bar with a well stocked gantry and a fireplace. Best pub/Hotel near Dunoon.👌

Location : Amazing Parking : Plenty for venue size Bar : Well stocked Staff : Friendly and Attentive Food : Disappointing Offerings : Water activities (not used by us) Will be back for mid road trip drinks but not food, would recommend for drinks only. Review: Popped in for the toilet on the way to pucks glen, staff were very friendly, accommodating and informative when asked about the restaurant and area. Went back on the travel home for dinner. Again friendly and accommodating wait staff but disappointed in the food quality and portions. Kids potion of bangers and mash consisted of 4 small "wee willy winkie" sausages, a portion of mash, a portion of veg made up of a strange blend of cabbage and cucumber and a portion of gravy. When mentioned to the wait staff about the kids meal it was agreed that this wasn't an acceptable meal for the price, an apology was given and a second portion(4) of the same sausages was presented. The "tapas" style starters could only be described as freezer food, which could have quite easily been made at home. When mentioned to the manager at that the meal was disappointing and that the "bangers and mash" was not up to the expectations of banger and mash, there was a back and forth about how it was a kids meal and that there was a second portion received. These comments from the manager didn't take into consideration that the second portion was only received after a complaint about the standards was made and that at cheaper restaurants a kids banger and mash would consist of a proportonate amount of normal sized sausages. As a result there was a discount of 10% taken off the bill amounting to nearly £50. I do feel this discount wasn't enough and hope that comment made about the standards of food were heard and can be acted upon. As a whole the service was good but as stated the food was a disappointment.

This place was brilliant, we managed to get a room (the little lodge cabin thing) last minute (we had an issue with the place we booked on air bnb). The staff at the coylett were incredibly accomodating and nice. We also had tea there that night and the food was incredible i had a salt and chilli chicken burger which was the nicest burger ive ever had.

Some background: I was a much younger man, a US Navy Submariner. Our "Gold" Crew would fly to Glasgow and bus to Greenock to relieve the "Blue" Crew and take over operating the USS Alexander Hamilton SSBN 617 moored alongside a submarine tender off Greenock. So; after one particulary long day, I ventured to Coylet Inn on the advice of a friendly taxi driver whose name I wish I did not forget. The owners were named, George and Dorothy Addis. I stayed over night in a comfortable room and overslept their gracious wake up call, but made it back to Hamilton, nonetheless. The evening before, I ate a very nice diinner of fresh fish (trout?) which was caught but a few hours earlier in Loch Eck, situated across the street (A815). The finest thing about dinner was to watch greens being picked out of a nearby garden: at the time of picking, I did not know it was for my table! Fresh fish, fresh vegetable salad, excellent wine, and the wonderfully friendly and inviting personalities from George and Dorothy. This is many years ago and still holds a fondness in memory, particualry at evening's end when the friendly noisy singing had to end at bar's closing, though still elbow to elbow with people. A moment later, lights were turned way down, silence was enforced by many people shussing as a Constable's powerful spotlight shown through the shuttered windows and then disappeared. A more quiet revelry resumed, friendliness was unabated, whilst a moment or two later, through the back door entered the Constable whose bright spot light had previously lighted up some of the bar. - I had finished eating and moved to the bar. He removed his checker-banded hat, then sat down, right next to a startled and nervous me and ordered, "My usual, Pet. And give my friend here what ever pleases." His phrasing - unforgettable. Thank you George and Dorothy, and Constable, and those other fun people whose names are unknown, but whose affect is ever glowing.
