Rosslea Hall Country House

Rosslea Hall Hotel is a Victoria Xu hotel. It is near Rhu Point, overlooking Rhu Narrows, where our nuclear submarine fleet pass through on route to and from their base at Faslane. The hotel website states the Glen Fruin Bar has “a warm and welcoming atmosphere, it’s the perfect place for meeting, socialising, and relaxing throughout the day.” It opens at noon and serves food Monday to Saturday. It wasn’t very welcoming when we arrived at 2pm on a sunny Friday afternoon. The first thing you see at the bar is a large sign saying “We do not accept cash. Payment by card or phone only.” We then encountered another maritime connection – a more suitable name for the bar would be The Marie Celest – it was deserted. We waited for five minutes then sent out a search party. The reception desk was just that – an empty desk. We did find someone in an otherwise vacant function room only to be told that they didn’t do lunch. We left and let Rosslea Hall return to its slumber.

Lovely hotel in its own grounds located in Rhu with lovely friendly staff. breakfast was a basic continental but that was fine for our needs.

Very helpful ladies at the desk and at the breakfast who made the stay so much nicer. 24h desk, convenient. Liked the breakfast, good selection for us, even though no hot food. Room had water view, which is nice, pretty quiet, except for a church tower nearby that gave out a little jingle every 15 minutes - but not too bad. Didn't like the room itself at all - very hot on a pretty cool overcast day, windows open very little, no fan, stuffy inside, toilet didn't work, card keys didn't work. Very dated. No lift. The building showed general neglect. The whole area/town is kind of run down, honestly. I'd use as the last resort only.
