  Best place to stay on Bute?  - Fantastic few days at the Highlander. Both the accommodation and the food are outstanding.

  Absolutely Stunning!!!  - This quaint B&B is stunning in every possible aspect of its offering. The bedrooms are beautiful and very well appointed. The rooms are warm, clean and decorated very tastefully. The... read more whole place is of the highest cleanliness and comfort. The meals, our breakfast was a fantastic experience, Gus & Sherry pulled out all the stops, tailoring our dining choices. The reception of Gus and his warmth and delicious coffee on arrival was so refreshing. I would urge anyone looking for a quiet, warm inviting B&B to choose this stunning place as a place to enjoy Bute from. The views from the bedroom, are stunning and you can watch the ferry coming and going all day, this coupled with the coffee machine and the constant replenishment of coffee and fresh milk make this a definite return visit. An upgrade due to a computer glitch, where we booked a view, Gus contacted me personally and apologised and offered another room with a higher degree of fit and finish indicative of the top rated room. We were absolutely blown away with the visit and plan a return. Highly recommended in every way!!!!!
