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!

The 5-star review that really should be a 10-star one - I came to the Isle of Bute last September, only to check it off as one of my last unexplored areas of Scotland, after 13 previous trips from Austria since... read more 2008. But after my somewhat lukewarm expectation what a positive surprise Bute in general and Highlander House in particular turned out to be! I am sorry that 5 stars is the maximum I can give, as Highlander House would easily deserve more.
From the loving attention to detail to the spotlessness in my room and all areas of the house, everything was simply perfect.
Breakfast was absolutely fantastic and I felt spoiled by the choices, particularly the Smoked Salmon with Avocado and the Spanish Omelette which were a welcome change from the usual full Scottish breakfasts I had had everywhere else.
To crown it all, Gus was very helpful with a repair item on my car which he went out of his way to buy and provide for free without my even asking. Many thanks to you two for a wonderful stay which I only wish would have been longer.
