Skye

  A truly exceptional guest house - Just returned from an exceptional stay at Gus and Sherry’s beautiful guesthouse on Bute where we were blessed with glorious weather and superb cycling all over the island. From... read more the minute we arrived to the minute we left, Gus was the most perfect host. On arrival, he took the time to sit down and welcome us over a lovely cup of coffee, giving us great tips on where to go and what to do on Bute. Our room (Skye) was beautiful and spotlessly clean with a great view over the bay. There were lots of very welcome surprises like a quality coffee machine with great coffee pods and lindt chocolates, a mini fridge with fresh milk and rose wine, even homemade muesli bars appeared on day two. The breakfasts were tremendous and nothing was too much trouble for Gus – everything tasted superb and we were convinced he must have been a chef in a previous life! In comparison to other top quality hotels and B&B’s in Scotland, Highlander House offers outstanding quality and value for money. We cannot recommend this establishment highly enough and would like to thank Gus and Sherry for a truly memorable stay. We hope to return again one day soon.

  A delightful stay with many extra special touches, including extras in the room (chilled wine in the fridge and home baked cake pieces). Gus and Sherry are very... read more attentive and friendly hosts who took great pains to look after their guests personally, including providing invaluable advice on local restaurants and venues (particularly important on a Bank Holiday weekend). The breakfasts were delicious including the full Scottish and the smoked salmon and trout. Much recommended.

  Best place to stay on Bute?  - Fantastic few days at the Highlander. Both the accommodation and the food are outstanding. Also, the island of Bute is to be highly recommended, quiet beaches, nice walks... read more and some interesting wildlife. We will be back at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later.
