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%)

					  A very special place and even more special people - Any search on 'hospitality' should include Highlander House at the top of the results, accompanied by a picture of Gus and Sherry. I cannot recall a warmer or more thoughtful... read more welcome than what I received from them and enjoyed in every thoughtful detail of my room. 

And this 'welcome' was not just upon arrival, it was daily and throughout every interaction. Especially notable is the consideration they put into the start of the day with perhaps the best breakfasts I have had at a guest house. I ventured out each day well-nourished and well-nurtured!

The kindness shown to me and all the guests was so encouraging, particularly during a difficult day I was having. I appreciate the flexibility and graciousness they showed me, and the wonderful way they equipped me to enjoy Rothesay.

Down to the last detail, everything is so tastefully done. The decor and unique artwork is fascinating, enjoyable and also makes for great conversation-starters!

A very special place and even more special people. They are in their element there and it shows.

Best place to stay on Rothesay!
