Helensburgh is an absolute gem of a town, full of history, charm, and a lively atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed—not just by the locals but by the town itself. The mix of old-world character and modern vibrancy made for a really unique experience. The town has plenty to offer, from great little shops to incredible historical sites. Exploring the area was a highlight for us, especially stumbling across some amazing spots that really showcase the town’s past. Whether you're after a bit of adventure or just a relaxing getaway, Helensburgh has something for everyone. The hotel we stayed at had a fantastic historic feel, which really added to the experience. The pub downstairs was buzzing, and the locals made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was having a good yarn with a local who’s part of the RFS for the area. He shared stories about the town, its strong community spirit, and even some of the incredible athletes who have come from Helensburgh. It was great to get a real insight into the town from someone who’s been part of it for so long. It was a bit noisy at first due to an event downstairs, but that just encouraged us to get involved, have a meal, and enjoy the night. The shared facilities were well-kept, and the little touches like tea, coffee, and biscuits in the lounge were much appreciated. If I had to give one small bit of feedback, it would be about the accommodation entrance—when we first arrived, the door was locked, and we weren’t sure how to get in. We had to go through the pub, which was a little intimidating at first, but it all worked out in the end. Overall, Helensburgh is a fantastic place to visit, with great people, good food, and plenty to see and do. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks, legends!

We were really impressed with how clean and spacious our room was. The bathrooms were also very clean - looked newly renovated. We appreciated the staff taking time to show us around and what the hotel offered - very accommodating and a lovely touch.
