The Glenburn Hotel, Rothesay

[Mataji]

I’d never eaten here before, the hotel used to be used mainly by Shearings coach parties. It is now under new ownership, has been refurbished somewhat and has excellent food. We only went because many places in Rothesay were closed but it was well worth the walk. On arrival we were asked if we wanted the restaurant or bar meals. Looked at menu for both and decided the bar menu was much better. We ate on the veranda with a fantastic view of Rothesay bay. Excellent service, good food and a wonderful old hotel.

We've been there last year. Tried both the restaurant and bar meals, and both were delicious. I will go back if I have the chance

Called again this year - closed down, permanently. What is happening to Scottish sailing? Both pubs in Port Bannatyne closed down. Even called at Kames hotel for lunch the other day and found the place closed until 5.00pm, they can’t get staff.

Here is a recent article about Rothesay and the hotel by Ian Jack, whose articles are always interesting and nicely written.
