“Loveley Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

Stayed here for a few days end of October 2010 , room lovely and clean, shower room spotless, we had a sea view and although it was cold outside the hotel was lovely and snug , friendly hosts, great breakfast espcially the delicious black pudding, even took two home, it was my first visit to Scotland and I would certainly recommend the Hotel but would add that as it is on a hill maybe not suitable for disbabled, my husband and I are in our late 50's and able bodied so found it no problem and really enjoyed our walks down to the Harbour and back up again.

“Reasonable and Very Friendly”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

Well, when we arrived inside, I have to be honest, we all looked at one another and thought we had made a mistake! The property is at the top of a hill above the town with parking at the back so it is unsuitable for invalids/wheelchairs unless you have a car to get down to the town. Once inside the hallway decor was ' very busy' with maps, leaflets, posters etc adorning the walls and it did look a bit messy to be honest. But, our host was very friendly and welcoming and we were given a choice of rooms, 'The one with the iron bedstead-top floor- our host called it a Teddy Bear bed- (iron bedstead) where the bathroom was a tad too small really or the room we chose at the top of the second set of steps first on the left which had a bit of an entrance (hall) albeit small with a long thin bathroom with washbasin bath and shower over and toilet to the right. The room was a bit tight on space to be honest, but, lets face it, all you do is sleep there! The bed was surprisingly comfortable too. We slept like logs!! The breakfast had to be ordered the night before and it was delicious. All in all we had a good stay. For a night or two at the most, at the price, it was very reasonable. (Travellers note, I have accidentally put in a rating for Childrens activities as poor, it is a mistake on my part, I don't know as our children are grown up and I do not know if they have any activities for little people, I doubt it but please ask if you are booking-sorry).

Room Tip: All the bathrooms are quite small, but adequate for a night or two.

“More a hostel than anything else”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011

We stayed at the Roseneath for two nights in August, and I wish we hadn't. Upon arriving, a young man (who apparently couldn't get back quickly enough to what he was doing before we interrupted him) opened the door and showed us to our room. He wasn't able to give any recommendations for dinner, so we didn't bother asking him anything else.
The room was nicely furnished but quite old and tired. No wi-fi or wired internet. The bathroom was terrible: old, in desperate need of some deep cleaning, and not entirely functional. The cold water faucet could not be opened, the shower head looked like it was about to fall off, and the entire bathroom had not been updated since the mid-70s. The towels had frayed edges.
To "order" breakfast the night before, we had to leave a little note in the hallway with our room number and what we wanted to eat and drink (there was one laminated menu from which to choose) - a rather improvised procedure that was not even working; we only got porridge once though we ordered it on both days. Breakfast itself was disappointing: lacking in taste and variety, with even the jams coming in Aldi jars. The lady who served breakfast appeared completely overwhelmed. I just hope that the dustpan and brush she used to clean one of the tables were reserved for cleaning tables... She was nice, though, and explained a few things about the Mull of Kintyre to us.
Overall a disappointing stay, especially because we have been to so many other and better B&Bs and Guest Houses.
