About Cannon House
Cannon House began life in 1827 as a Georgian gentleman's residence and now operates as a guest house on Battery Place, close to Rothesay's town centre and ferry terminal. Its six double rooms and one twin are individually styled with private bath or shower facilities, and most look out over Rothesay Bay towards the Kyles.
A residents' bar and a lounge with bay views give the house a relaxed, sociable feel more in keeping with a Victorian holiday let than a chain hotel, and all rooms come with tea and coffee facilities and a television.
Its position close to the ferry terminal and town centre makes it a convenient, good-value base for exploring Rothesay on foot before heading further afield around the island.

First of all we were given no guidance on checking in. When we arrived we had to call the number on the door, they advised our room and said the key was in the lock but they had the wrong information. this was quickly resolved. Once in the room it was clearly a little dated and old. wallpaper coming away from the walls. The room had spiders and webs in it and the bathroom had multiple spiders and cobwebs which we had to remove. The "double" bed was actually 2 singles pushed together and was not comfortable for a couple sharing as one is always falling down the gap in the middle and not what I expect for £180 double room. The shower leaked all over the floor making it dangerous getting in or out and meant we had to use our towels to dry the floor constantly. The shower also changed temperature from cold to scalding hot at a moments notice which was dangerous and not very comfortable. Finally the room on the ground floor was so close to the dining area and the walls are paper thin so from 830am you are woken by the other guests and the general noise from the dining area. Not what you want when on a relaxing stay. The "vegan" breakfast was appalling. Despite being told there were vegan sausages we were not given any. The meal consisted of a half a mushroom, quarter of tomato, some vegan haggis, a potatoes scone some burnt toast and cold baked beans. There was no effort to replace the meat products by offering more mushrooms or haggis and the beans being cold is just awful. Overall the hotel is more like a guesthouse and requires modernising.The room is overpriced for essentially a twin room with beds pushed together and was certainly not clean. The noise was awful and ruined the stay as we were unable to have a lie in instead woken unnecessarily.
