Smoo - Highlander House

Unlike this gem of a cavern, at the far north end of Scotland, hollowed out by thousands of years of tumultuously raging underground fresh water torrents repelling intense sea water battering, Highlander House’s only ground floor room is less of an arduous trek to enjoy and is available for those who desire a ground floor sanctuary.

Totally updated and renovated, Smoo offers you a charming coastal-inspired decor, king-size bed, 50-inch smart TV, view-dining nook and a bathroom utterly un-cave-like!

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

					  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!!!!!

					  Outstanding!   - We have just spent 2 nights at Highlander House, and it is easily one of the most charming places we have stayed - and we are pretty seasoned travellers! ... read more />

Our hosts were very welcoming, providing delightful treats such as chocolates, delicious home bakes and chilled rosé in our room. The bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable, the bathroom luxurious and perfectly clean. 

Breakfast, like everything else was first class, with an extensive choice including lots of healthy options, all beautifully cooked and presented. 

Somehow Gus and Sherry have succeeded in combining the high standards of a five star hotel with the intimacy of staying with friends. Clearly all the other guests felt the same as we all lingered over breakfast chatting as if we’d known each other for ever. 

What a wonderful gift to make one’s guests feel so relaxed and welcome!
