Highly recommended!! Spent new year 2025 here, stayed 3 nights and will definitely return. Rooms are lovely, clean and comfortable. Located on the beautiful saltwater Gare Loch, the surrounding areas are stunning. Just a short drive from Loch Lomond and the beautiful village off Luss. Helensburgh is within walking distance and has plenty of shops, restaurants and bars. The staff are all amazing friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and very well priced. A must for all those who haven’t yet had the pleasure.

We stayed here for our honeymoon. The staff were so friendly. We got advice on where to visit by the lovely receptionist, the bar staff on the evening were lovely young men that couldn't do enough for us. There was a bottle for us because of our honeymoon. Scenery was beautiful. Good value.

We had such a lovely stay at Rosslea Hall Hotel. We came here for our family Christmas get together and were so well looked after by everyone. Such helpful staff and John in particular was brilliant. The hotel is in a beautiful location, with lovely pubs within walking distance (The Rhu Inn was especially good) and some great walks around. Fab breakfast at the hotel too! Would definitely recommend.

A beautiful building in a scenic location. Friendly helpful staff. Our room was clean and pleasantly furnished, if quite small. The continental and full scottish breakfasts were lovely. There is no elevator.

This was ok for a one night stay. Food and service could have been better. Staff very friendly but maybe need a bit of training. Strange attempt at à G&T, no lemon wrong glass? Food was just not great quality.

Phenomenal hotel, very clean rooms. Arrived at 10pm to find the bar closed, 5 minutes after checking in we received a call in the room for the amazing Andrew offering to open the bar for us to have a drink. Andrew made this stay wonderful, so friendly and helpful. We arrived at 10pm and left at 8am. Andrew was there to greet us at breakfast and has such a warm demeanor. The room was clean, a very comfortable bed and a peaceful night.
