friday to sunday in rothesay at glenburn hotel

Friday to sunday at glenburn hotel rothesay. I was pleasantly surprised with the hotel because I know it is years old. however - it was very clean, food excellent, staff really nice, room was fine, down-side - 99 steps from pavement to front door of hotel or option to use a short but very steep hill at the side to get to back door. a taxi ride from central rothesay right to back door was only £3odds. walk to central rothesay is about 10 mins (in our case - in the rain)trip included a bus trip round the island and visit to mount stuart house - well worth the visit. I was very impressed with this place. beautiful gardens too (if the rain had stayed off). entertainment at the hotel was great. dancing to a duo (singer and singer/instrument) also we had an excellent "elvis" impersonator. I could not fault the hotel. rothesay does not have much to do although I am sure if it had been better weather it would have been much better to walk around. - though we found a "sing along to grease the movie" event which we went to. I had a nostalgic couple of days - having spent holidays in rothesay as a child. our bus driver was obliging and really nice. our first tour with Caledonian tours was a year ago when Canadian relatives came over and wanted to visit Iona - we enjoyed the trip so much we then went to southport in September and this recent trip. picked up locally - I think it is amazing value for money. the weather let us down on this trip - but we can do nothing about that sadly.
