Gourock is a great wee town with a cute little high street, with a nice selection of small boutique type shops and amazing views of the mountains. I have many happy memories too from visiting as a child. Shame about the small children's swimming pool looking like the high water tides have overtook it. But there is also an amazing Salt water swimming pool, namely Blur's latest album cover is of this pool. Have swam there a few times and it was bracingly cold and wonderful! Take your own towels etc and possibly some flip flops to navigate the concrete floor. In terms of restaurants, I went to The River for a soup, coffee & cake. I wasn't that impressed, my mum also said recently not great service at another time, so I was maybe trying to think on balance they were tired in between Xmas & NY. But I think they are under new ownership and trying to get a grip on the place - they possibly are trying to do too many things like offering cocktails which take a time to make. Ultimately their service was sloppy and the coffees were London prices so I was expecting a bit more, even their soup came with a tiny slither of sourdough and no butter and small things like then forgetting the knife to butter the bread, so I just used a small spoon in order to not create a fuss. They really need to up their game, possibly hire more staff and not just think their USP is great views. Cleats pub on the corner is great, just a good boozer and with great views, what is there not to like. Continental Cafe is nice with well priced food. The ferry service in Gourock is great, we took a ride over to Dunoon, and that in itself was an interesting place with beautiful beach views and great to visit for the afternoon.

Gourock is a beautiful little town centrally located in the Inverclyde area. It has beautiful views across the River Clyde and over the Argyle Hills. Trains, buses and Ferries are all convenient in town, to get to Dunoon, Glasgow, Largs and other small coastal towns. I recommend Gourock to anyone looking for a quiet holiday location in beautiful Scotland.

Not much in Gourock to do but plenty of nice places to eat out. Lovely walks along the shore road with stunning views! Spinnaker Hotel serves lovely meals and also Buckelys….highly recommend this place!

The main purpose of my visit to Gourock was to attend the Highland Games. I attended all 3 days however the first 2 days are mainly for competitions (dance, pipe bands etc). I used the 2nd day to explore Gourock which is a lovely location.

We love Gourock. It is central for buses to Glasgow every half hour. Central for ferry to Dunoon also. The views of the Clyde and ares around it are breathtaking. We had lunch and dinner at the Continental Cafe. Staff were great. Menu was great. View was great. We also had pizza across the road from the Continental, in a wee Italian pizzeria. Really tasty as was their ice cream.

Lovely spacious grassy park next to the promenade with kids play park and outdoor gym. Great views over to Dunoon and Ben Lomond and the surrounding hills . Fantastic outdoor pool right on the water and a lovely walk/cycle along the promenade into Greenock. A lovely clean and obviously well cared for town with rail link to Glasgow and the ferry link to Dunoon. The people we met were all very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back again in the near future.
