Our aim is to offer the best service we can; however sometimes we let ourselves down and that makes us disappointed. We always strive to do better. We are a family which includes... More

In my eyes the staff is really trying hard and succeed in many aspects. The room was well equipped, the beds were super. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. One point down though: We slept later than the average guest and the breakfastroom was halfway cleared up with rags everywhere, no light and no heat. It looked to... More

PLEASE don't waste your money staying at this hotel. I understood from the signage at the hotel that it was 3star. I do think it is time to reassess the star rating. We stayed one night, on the 15th September. These are the points that we were really disappointed in: Windows- These looked broken. Asked in the bar, as no... More

1. I have been in the hotel business for more than 35 years and have a BA(Hons) Degree from the University of Ulster with a Diploma in Industrial Studies. 2. There is no 3* Signage in or outside Rossborough Hotel, I am sure that visit Scotland, the AA etc are quite capable of awarding the correct gradings. 3. We do... More

The atmosphere was great, friendly owners and employees. Surprisingly good restaurant. Bedroom was nice and on ground floor. A plus for us, since I use a scooter. Good location-short distance to the harbor and Asda shopping. A car is needed to explore the region. More

We stayed one night (mature couple and student daughter) and we are glad to say that our experience was nothing like some of the adverse reviews below. The room was comfortable, the service polite and friendly and the dinner was really excellent and extremely good value. We would be happy to stay there again. More

The hotel inspector is on the TV! Real hotel inspectors only visit is you pay them. We have acted upon your coments and purchased new beds for the entire lower ground floor rooms. As to the towels being removed early; a simple phone call to reception would have had replacements immediately. Sometimes guests have to give us the opportunity to... More

Booked this before I read the reviews and was a little worried. The hotel could do with a little TLC but the staff were helpful and polite. If you want fancy then pay fancy prices. My husband and I enjoyed it and would return, More
