Was this previously John Haddow's Cloch House Hotel? My Great Great Grandfather was John Haddow and I am trying to follow up our family tree. There are many mentions of the Cloch House Hotel in the Greenock Advertiser which had been owned by John Haddow.

This is the embarkation point for sailings to the various Clyde resorts, and also to Milport, just across from and within sight of Largs, on the island of Great Cumbrae. The pier is little changed today. The lower building to the immediate right of the Temperance Hotel was a public house, the Old Pier Vaults, an interesting combination!
