  Perfect stay with great hosts - Gus and Sherry are great hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in their beautifully renovated B&B and can whole heartedly recommend it. We were greeted by Gus who made... read more us very welcome and told us what to do and where to go on Bute over a freshly brewed pot of tea. Our room - with beautiful sea view - was very comfortable and very well equipped, also with lovely extras like cooled rose wine and milk and home made flap jacks by Sherry. Yum! The breakfast choices are excellent and we had one of the best ever vegetarian cooked breakfasts. Of course there is also a great variety of musli, corn flakes, nuts, yoghurt, fruit salad..... We really liked that Gus introduces his guests to each other so there were lively talks with guests at the other tables over breakfast. After a day of discovering the beautiful island it is wonderful to relax in the seating area in the front garden with wonderful views of the Kyles and Rothesay Bay.

  A Glorious Stay  - My wife and I arrived off the ferry on the 24th of July to find our B&B a gentle stroll along the promenade from the terminal. We were greeted by... read more Gus who made us most welcome into his well maintained and gorgeous home. We were greeted, as though we were long lost friends and made to feel extremely welcomed with a warmth and enthusiasm I had never experienced before in a B&B.

The attention to detail for the guests were second to none from arrival to departure. The rooms were stunning with touches of luxuries you would have expected from a 5 star hotel. The views from the room were wonderful across the bay.

The breakfasts were out of this world and we were encouraged by Gus to try the best of local produce from Bute. It was a wonderful way to start the day before exploring.

Not only was the welcome superb but also the knowledge that Gus had of the island and encouraged us to visit areas of Bute we had not considered. Gus was able to recommend restaurants and even knew the specific days and opening times, a wealth of knowledge .

All together it was a wonderful experience visiting Rothesay and Bute set up by the very warm and personal experience from our stay at Highlander House B&B. We have already recommended this to friends and family and without hesitation to anyone looking to have a base to discover Bute.

  "A real jewel of a B&B - best we've stayed in!  - If we could give 10 stars we would for this gem of a B&B! From the warm welcome from Gus on arrival with complimentary brownies & fruit (thanks Sherry) to... read more the daily attention to detail, we were blown away! If you are in Rothesay, would deffo recommend every time. Perfect facilities, with stunning views of the bay & mountains. Fantastic variety of breakfast choices, stunning individual decor & VERY comfy bed, we couldn't fault it! Thanks Gus & Sherry for fantastic 'above & beyond' hospitality & for making my birthday so very special - will be back!
