“Best B & B ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

Warm welcome, lovely room, great breakfast and roaring fire in sitting room, what's not to love? We had a huge room on the ground floor. It was split into three distinct parts: the bay window where we sat in armchairs and admired the snow covered hills, the sitting area with couch and TV and the huge bed in the recessed area. The bathroom was very clean with a fantastic shower and there was no shortgage of fluffy white towels. Breakfast was served in the conservatory, fantastic views of the bay, there was plenty of choice and I liked the use of local products. ( Best black pudding I've ever tasted). The owners were very knowledgable about Bute and happy to make recommendations on were to eat or visit. We hope to return to Bute in the Summer to walk the West Island Way and, of course, stay at Munro's B & B.

“Relaxing weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

Had a fantastic weekend at Munro's and can only recommend it. We were very well looked after by the owners and the whole place has a very welcoming and warm feel to it. The tasty breakfast was served in the conservatory with fantastic sea views. Our room was very spacious, nicely decorated and the bay window was great to enjoy more of the views or just cosy up and read a book. We will definitely return.

“Quiet retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011 via mobile

The owners were very friendly, welcoming and informative about the local area. The rooms are perfectly sized and clean with everything you would want.

There was a great selection to choose from for breakfast, with a beautiful view overlooking the mainland from the dining room.

The log fire in the living room was a nice touch with an excellent selection of books. If you wanted to cosy up in front of the fire and/or check email with the included wifi.

“Good Standard”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

Munro's exhibits a Tripadvisor 'Best Rothesay B&B' certificate in the hall. It's as well to bear in mind that the level achieved is in comparison to other Rothesay B&B and not an indication of meeting a national standard.

Munro's is situated up a hill on the fringe of Rothesay and it is a fair hike to/from the town centre if you do not have transport or take the bus. Those with any mobility limitations may find the final climb to the B&B more than a bit wearing.

We were met with a warm welcome from the Host and even warmer welcome from the log fire in the sitting room, before being shown our room and the working of the facilities fully explained.

The room itself was clean, warm and in good repair, if lacking in any real character or style. However, if all you need is somewhere clean and comfortable to lay your head what more could you want? Well, if I'm going to find fault, a properly closing door to the bathroom, which seemed to be something of a 'work in progress' would help.

Breakfast, taken in the conservatory overlooking the bay, was ample, well cooked and delivered a wide choice. Were the eggs from the chickens that were seen in the garden?

Rothesay itself is a shadow of its former self having been developed for a holiday market that has long ago moved on. Beware of Wednesday when most of the shops and restaurants close. We didn't know this until it came time to find something to eat and it took some searching to find something decent. This took the form of 'Ghillies', the downstairs bistro of the Victoria Hotel. The meal, prices and service were extremely good and I have heard that the Victoria's restaurant is equally good but if the town really wants to attract custom then it's missing a trick.

“THE place to stay on Bute”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I can honestly say I had a brilliant time staying at Munro’s. Instead of feeling like a bed-and-breakfast in the traditional sense, it felt like someone’s home. That’s not to say the welcome is over-familiar; just friendly, warm and relaxing. Everything was fine; the weather, the food (including fresh drop-scones!) and the company. Many thanks to the hosts Joan and Andy who made my stay so pleasant.

Room Tip: I think my bathroom floor was heated...!
