  The 5-star review that really should be a 10-star one  - 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... read more 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.

  Best B&B ever!  - Absolutely outstanding in every way.
Spotlessly clean and wonderful decor. Really comfy bed and bedding and a location to die for!
On top of this the host was amazing! Really... read more friendly and informative and nothing was too much trouble for him. We had a wonderful holiday thanks to the host and his amazing B&B. The breakfasts are awesome!

  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.
