your boutique guest house in Rothesay, Isle of Bute

Smoo Guest RoomSmoo guest roomSmoo bathroom
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!

Beautiful guest house - I had a wonderful trip to Rothesay staying at the Highlander for 2 nights. The room, in fact the whole house, was beautiful. The bed was amazingly comfy and I... read more enjoyed 2 amazing nights sleep. Breakfasts were outstanding with quality products used.
I went to Rothesay for some relaxing time away and thoroughly enjoyed my weekend. I recommend going to the guided tour of Mount Stuart which was really interesting.

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.

Highlander House is in a great location in Rothesay and has been beautifully restored by Gus & Sherry. The rooms have everything to make life comfortable and the food is... read more amazing. Gus cooks delicious breakfasts with local produce, notably smoked salmon. Sherry provides a daily treat of baked goodies. It is a very friendly, sociable home full of delightful objects.
The seaview is wonderful and the view to the cliffs and garden is also lovely.
We were lucky to have glorious sunshine and be able to enjoy a glass of homemade rose wine on the front terrace. Throughout our visit Gus was friendly and helpful.
Gus provided us with a fantastic overview of what to see on Bute which made our visit truly memorable.
Lovely cafes and restaurants in Rothesay and surrounds.
Mount Stuart is a must. Full of architectural interest and intricacies.
Wonderful to see seals and enjoy glorious sea views.
I don’t think there can be anywhere nicer to stay on the Isle of Bute.
