Search hotels in Rosyth

It is very convenient for avoiding the problems of Edinburgh (( parking, inflated room prices, terrible congestion and road works) It might not as picturesque as some other places but has aminaties and is ideal for visiting Fife Edinburgh etc.

The location was ideal for my wife and I as we had a boat trip to see the bridges across the Forth booked. The Hotel is very clean and warm and the pub attached was was welcoming and very reasonable. There is also a very nice fish & chip shop right next to the hotel if required.

Rosyth styles itself "Scotland's only Garden City" and it does not disappoint with its palette of early twentieth century Arts and Craft style buildings. A variety of Scottish style architectural elements produces a delightful contrast with the English equivalents. Not all subsequent modifications have been kind, for instance there does not seem to be a single original window surviving. The plastic replacements are as ugly and clumsy as they are everywhere. But the overall effect remains. A gently undulating landscape adds picturesque incidents in the slightly predictable Garden City layout, and the countryside beyond has a rugged beauty that is not seen in Welwyn or Letchworth. Unfortunately the generous layout and wide avenues is conducive to very fast traffic ably assisted by clumsy road engineering where roundabouts and innumerable barriers further subjugate the pedestrian to the speeding motorist.

A very pleasant area away from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh's city centre. What's more you take the majestic Forth Rd Bridge across to get there (if you're coming from the South of course).
