Positano Bed and Breakfast
79 Glasgow Road, Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire, G82 1RE
Telephone: 01389 731943
Positano is a spacious, modern house that was refurbished throughout in 2005, and again with three new bedrooms in 2010, to an exceptionally high standard, offering accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis. Located very centrally in the town of Dumbarton (15 minutes from Glasgow Airport; and minutes away from Loch Lomond). Although on a road, our main entrance is at the back of the house (off the road), with a big garden and back yard, with ample private parking facilities for your car (complimentary for our guests). You really wouldn't know that we're on a road at all. None of our rooms suffer from traffic noise - we have the best of both worlds: a convenient, easy to find location that is ideal as a touring base for this area of western Scotland; and beautiful, peaceful accommodation. We offer a friendly and helpful family service.
We are approved by the Scottish Tourist Board, so you are guaranteed quality accommodation. |

Some additional information regarding Rooms Ischia & La Sila...
These rooms would be ideal for a family or small group of friends to book together. Especially suited for families with teenagers (mum & dad in one room; teens in the other - everyone has their own "space"!)
These two bedrooms comprise the whole floor of the house, you would therefore have the entire floor of the house to yourself - very private and unique!
Note that the rooms are of course two completely separate bedrooms, each with own TV, tea/coffee making facilities, and separate doors/locks.
As they are so popular to book together, we do usually prefer to book them out that way, rather than individually.
If you are indeed considering booking these rooms together, we are having some Special Offers running throughout 2011.
All of our high quality rooms are comfortably furnished, with colour Television, Radio Alarm Clocks and tea/coffee making facilities with a hospitality tray. The bathrooms are all fully tiled with excellent power showers or bath facilities. There is central Heating throughout the house, with adjustable heating in each room.
With the assistance of our local Fire Department, there are fire exits, smoke/fire alarms and emergency lighting systems throughout the property.
We have put together a Welcome Folder for our guests with information on the area, suggestions on what to see and do, along with recommendations on where to dine out in the local area.
