We had a fabulous 2 night stay with Gus and Sherry. They went the extra mile to make our stay unique, with multiple special gestures and gifts we were not expecting. The room had beautiful view of the sea. The personalised and freshly cooked breakfasts were delicious. Location was excellent. We will be back at some point.

I couldn’t recommend Highlander House more for a stay while you’re on Bute! Excellent hospitality and local recommendations from Gus & Sherry, delicious breakfast, comfortable rooms, and beautiful rooms. We wouldn’t hesitate to return!

I had an absolutely delightful stay at Highlander House this past weekend and cannot recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, the hosts Gus & Sherry made me feel incredibly welcome with their warmth and hospitality. The room was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and extremely comfortable, ensuring a perfect night's sleep. Breakfast each morning was also a highlight. The attention to detail in every aspect of the service was impressive, and the cozy, charming atmosphere made my stay truly memorable. This bed and breakfast along with its hosts Gus & Sherry go above and beyond to ensure their guests have an exceptional experience. A well-deserved 10 out of 10!

We enjoyed a delightful two night stay over the Easter period. Gus was very welcoming and was a very friendly, charming and helpful host. Our room had a fantastic view and the bed was incredibly comfortable with lovely luxurious bed linen . The complementary wine, snacks and baked goods were a very generous and welcome addition. Breakfast was excellent, with a great choice and lovely freshly cooked options.
A first class experience means we will definitely stay again.

We had an excellent stay at The Highlander House B&B on Bute. Gus welcomed us at the door and was full of useful information on how to get the best out of our trip. He gave us useful tips on where to each and lesser known spots to visit. We made use of his advice and had a wonderful 2 night break.
Breakfast was delicious both mornings with a great selection of fruit and cereals available alongside the made to order cooked options.
Our room was cosy and the bed was comfy plus we had a lovely view over the bay. We would happily visit again!

Love, love, love Highlander House B&B. This was our second visit and It certainly didn’t disappoint. From the moment we were met at the door we were made to feel special. Gus and Sherry are the best hosts. There is so much attention to detail everywhere. Breakfast is fantastic. Sherrys home baking that we got in our room was lovely. Coming back to our room after breakfast to find the Easter Bunny had been was an extra special treat.
The location is perfect for walking to restaurants, coffee shops and pubs.
We would highly recommend and can’t wait for our next visit.

Sherry and Gus were the most attentive and hospitable hosts, making our stay not only homely but going above and beyond : finding out opening times, daily freshly baked treats to suggested local delicacies for breakfast- which were wonderfully cooked. The location is perfect, for an easy, flat walk into the local shops and bars of Rothesay and bus stop outside which takes you around the whole island.
We spent 5 wonderful days over Easter here and will definitely be back!

Kevin and I had a wonderful stay with Gus and Sherry. Their hospitality went above and beyond. Our room, which faced over the water, was exquisitely decorated, comfortable and very clean. The daily baked treats were much appreciated. We enjoyed perusing the ‘Africa’ photo album. We felt very safe and secure. We will certainly visit again.

Fantastic hosts! Marvelous breakfasts! Came here on emergent travel. Luckily, Gus & Sherry had a room available. Located right at the waterfront. Rooms are very clean, super hosts. Can't say anything but great things...a must stay! We hope there is summer space for us when we return. Thank You to Gus & Sherry for making this visit absolutely pleasant!

Rave reviews of this wonderful Guesthouse are not exaggerated!
From the moment we arrived ,till our departure 2 days later, we enjoyed terrific hospitality and service, fronted by owner Gus, but also with wonderful breakfasts cooked by his wife. The room was beautifully clean and comfortable, from which the only thing missing was a hook on the inside of the bathroom door! A terrific experience, and very good value for money!

SIMPLY THE BEST - Whenever one goes somewhere more than once, you are never going to be satisfied. The second time, the food is not as good as the first visit. In a hotel,... read more the service is not as good, or the bed is not what you remember and you don’t sleep well.
We had such a fantastic stay at Highlander House 6 months ago that we decided we would go back for a relaxing chill weekend.
Highlander House hosts Gus and Sherry have now ruined that theory.
How they managed to not only impress, but give us a better experience than the first visit is amazing. The food was as good, if not better than last visit. Gus even remembered what I wanted for breakfast. Sherry did her magic with the flowers and snacks on the hallway table.
I rate this hospitable establishment very high. If you are looking for somewhere peaceful and relaxing, with excellent food, then this is the place to go.
We will be back and I have no doubt at all, that we will be pleasantly surprised yet again, leaving relaxed and re charged.
Once again a BIG thank you to two charming, welcoming, pleasant hosts - Gus and Sherry.
