Skye

  A great stay with perfect hosts  - I can safely say that Highlander House was one of the best B&B's I've stayed in.

The hosts Gus and Sherry greeted us warmly when we arrived and took... read more us through any specifics for access to the building and contents of the rooms. I am currently walking with a crutch, so I stayed in the ground floor room, which was perfectly sized and well laid out with double bed, table, chairs and an en-suite shower room. There was a coffee machine, snacks and a mini fridge in each room, which contained fresh milk and a very nice bottle of home made rose wine. Wifi was strong and worked throughout the house.

There was an excellent choice of breakfast options each day (Full Scottish, omelettes, scrambled egg, salmon and much more), along with toast, cereals, juices, fruit etc. We just let them know the evening before which hot options we wanted and at what time. We took breakfast in the main dining room, which had a wonderful sea view. Also in that room was a seating area that was available for us to use during the day if we wished. There was garden furniture outside, but as it was October, we didn't use it!

During our stay, each day when we got back there was a nice home made surprise waiting for us, in the form of various bakes. There was also a fruit bowl available to take from if we wanted it.

Gus was really helpful, and we had a nice chat each day over breakfast. He provided all sorts of tourist information and was very knowledgeable about places to visit on the island, and how to get around. Gus even offered me a lift into town during a very sharp shower, which was very kind.

Highlander is an easy walk into the town centre and there is a bus stop nearby that can take you to tourist locations around the island, which Gus provided the timetable/stop information for.

Gus and Sherry were great hosts who provided an exceptional offering, and if back in Bute, I would not hesitate in staying at the Highlander again.

  Absolutely Stunning!!!  - This quaint B&B is stunning in every possible aspect of its offering. The bedrooms are beautiful and very well appointed. The rooms are warm, clean and decorated very tastefully. The... read more whole place is of the highest cleanliness and comfort. The meals, our breakfast was a fantastic experience, Gus & Sherry pulled out all the stops, tailoring our dining choices. The reception of Gus and his warmth and delicious coffee on arrival was so refreshing. I would urge anyone looking for a quiet, warm inviting B&B to choose this stunning place as a place to enjoy Bute from. The views from the bedroom, are stunning and you can watch the ferry coming and going all day, this coupled with the coffee machine and the constant replenishment of coffee and fresh milk make this a definite return visit. An upgrade due to a computer glitch, where we booked a view, Gus contacted me personally and apologised and offered another room with a higher degree of fit and finish indicative of the top rated room. We were absolutely blown away with the visit and plan a return. Highly recommended in every way!!!!!
