Good stay and friendly staff. The girl cleaning rooms was especially helpful with hints on places to visit and we were happy with every single one. The food was all wonderful and the open kitchen view was nice to see. The noise to the outside world could be toned down but otherwise any noise inside was quiet.

The frontage of this stunning hotel hides the incredible style & comfort inside. It’s absolute brilliant. Gorgeous crisp white high quality bed linen, excellent bathroom /shower/ fluffy white towels, very comfy bed. Every single fixture & fitting is the highest standard.

This small quaint bed and breakfast gave an old timey feel. My room over looked the courtyard which is a magnificent view during the Christmas season. It was clean and had everything needed for a stay including tea and biscuits. The staff are all wonderful and treat you as family. I would also stay here again. Thank you SUGAR BOAT STAFF!

The Gem of Helensburgh

We found an unexpected gem in Helensburgh. The staff was friendly and helpful. The flat above the restaurant was spacious, clean and very modern. It also had a nice view of the square. It was a bit of a climb with a large suitcase but that was the only negative. The truly outstanding discovery was the restaurant. Both the dinner and the breakfast (the latter included with the room) were extraordinary. Also, the owner Will was a gracious host. As well, they gave us complementary drinks as " compensation " for being above the restaurant on DJ night. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Sugar Boat for two nights and had a wonderful experience! We had booked a family room (for three people) and had the top floor to ourselves. A beautiful room, plenty of space for us, very nicely furnished - lovely colours, comfartble beds, tea and coffee facilities. Beautiful and modern bathroom. Breakfast in the restaurant was also very nice - good food and nice and friendly staff! We felt most welcome, and hope to come back at some point.
