Even Glencoe is only about a 90 minute drive to the north; and Fort William a 2 hour drive.

And of course Dumbarton Castle is minutes walk away.
We are in a very central location in the town of Dumbarton itself. Less than a 10 minute walk from the town centre which has plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants; and there are many other excellent pubs and restaurants in the immediate area catering for every taste. We also have some beautiful local walks and cycling routes along the River Clyde, not to mention our very own castle - the oldest recorded stronghold in Great Britain.
