We have just spent 2 nights at Highlander House, and it is easily one of the most charming places we have stayed - and we are pretty seasoned travellers! Our hosts were very welcoming, providing delightful treats such as chocolates, delicious home bakes and chilled rosé in our room. The bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable, the bathroom luxurious and perfectly clean. Breakfast, like everything else was first class, with an extensive choice including lots of healthy options, all beautifully cooked and presented. Somehow Gus and Sherry have succeeded in combining the high standards of a five star hotel with the intimacy of staying with friends. Clearly all the other guests felt the same as we all lingered over breakfast chatting as if we’d known each other for ever. What a wonderful gift to make one’s guests feel so relaxed and welcome!

It's a very short walk from the town centre and our beautiful room had a stunning sea view, but our hosts Gus & Sherry are what made this a truly memorable visit - lovely people and nothing was too much trouble. Their personal touches really make the difference whether it's local knowledge or a wee brownie to eat when you get back! I honestly can't rate our stay any higher...fantastic in every way ❤️

The prior reviews set our expectations pretty high, and all were met. The hosts are very accommodating and the breakfasts are delicious and filling. Expecting a garden view room to look out onto a patio or such, we were delighted to have a full colorful garden and tree line behind the BnB. The breakfast room and front rooms face the bay. Very clean; modern fixtures. A short walk from the ferry pier and shops.

I came to the Isle of Bute last September, only to check it off as one of my last unexplored areas of Scotland, after 13 previous trips from Austria since 2008. But after my somewhat lukewarm expectation what a positive surprise Bute in general and Highlander House in particular turned out to be! I am sorry that 5 stars is the maximum I can give, as Highlander House would easily deserve more. From the loving attention to detail to the spotlessness in my room and all areas of the house, everything was simply perfect. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic and I felt spoiled by the choices, particularly the Smoked Salmon with Avocado and the Spanish Omelette which were a welcome change from the usual full Scottish breakfasts I had had everywhere else. To crown it all, Gus was very helpful with a repair item on my car which he went out of his way to buy and provide for free without my even asking. Many thanks to you two for a wonderful stay which I only wish would have been longer.

The hosts, Angus and Sherry, clearly love what they do and their attention to detail is incredible. The breakfast, the room, the unexpected extras, the shared knowledge of the isle, the location and the all round comfort makes this a 5 star experience.

Restaurant-quality food, central location less than a 5 minute walk from the ferry, quiet surroundings with a gorgeous backdrop of trees and the front-facing view of the most incredible sea landscape. Perfect spot to come back for a drink after a day of exploring the island!

This is evidenced by the cleanliness of the accommodation, the facilities in the room and the many little fine details from fresh baking and fresh fruit available in the hallway and guest rooms. The selection for breakfast is quite astounding from the smoked salmon, the omelletes and eggs cooked to order with the full Scottish a truly memorable repast. Highlander House sets a standard that far surpasses any establishment we have ever experienced in many years of travelling and will be a standard by which all others will be judged in the future. Thank you both for a very memorable stay and for your kindness and caring.
