Eilean Donan - Highlander House

Named after one of Scotland’s most photographed and recognised castles, this cliff-facing guest room, as with the other rooms on the 1st floor, delights with a 3.5m high ceiling and other original 1850’s elements like the fireplace, now converted to smokeless charm.

If you you’re a keen birder the mayhem of bird life beyond your window will enthrall as will the possibility to glimpse the resident hunting sparrow-hawk.

This room features a king size bed, 40-inch high definition TV, rustic smokeless fireplace and window seating for meals, workspace or relaxation.

(2-3 night minimum stay, single occupancy less 10%)

					  Highlander House excels - Our first time on the Isle of Bute and first time back in Scotland after 20 years did not disappoint as we were given a warm welcome to Rothesay and... read more Highlander House by Gus and Sherry.  They were very thoughtful in accommodating us in their downstairs room, Smoo, with its king-size bed, luxurious finishes, and breathtaking view of the bay.  The modern bathroom was well stocked with thoughtful items in case guests had forgotten anything.  Gus and Sherry's in-depth knowledge of the island led us to explore the quaint little town and then further afield where we saw playful seals, delightful Highlander coos, and even a couple having their wedding photos done.  Highlander House is warm, inviting, and beautifully decorated, furnished with interesting items from the hosts' global travels. Our hosts gave us our first-ever taste of a full Scottish breakfast which was quite unlike an English breakfast in that it had haggis, black pudding, and square sausage among the other usual breakfast items.  This was beautifully presented as a taster platter. Our curiosity turned to delight and we were very well impressed with the offerings and portion sizes. Another treat was the Scottish salmon bagel, with the salmon fished locally. Sadly, our time on the island ended far too soon and we can't wait to return to explore more and enjoy the hospitality we received at Highlander House.  Thanks Gus and Sherry!
