The breakfast was delicious.The house was lovely, and the room very comfortable. Although we were too late to have a room with a sea view, the large lounge and breakfast rooms had wonderful vistas. The owner was very welcoming and helpful.

Right from the start this is a wonderful place to stay - beautiful, peaceful location and a lovely old building. The welcome from the girl manning reception/ serving dinner was truly exceptional as was all of the service we had there. We had a lovely, comfortable room with a great shower. The food was delicious and the dining room is lovely with wonderful views. Can't recommend this place enough. There was even home made shortbread in the room. So nice!

I have stayed at the property before and the owner was very accommodating, she couldn't have been more helpful. Apartments have nice terraced area at front, brilliant for chilling later on, when sun is down. Andrea has now added new small cafe, another awesome addition. I will be back to stay here again soon

Provisions left by the host were a really nice touch, and they were more than welcoming. Bathroom is also very nice. We enjoyed the location, being close to a supermarket and the town center. Beautifully furnished.

Rothesay is a beautifal town located on the Isle of Bute.
Rothesay is a beautifal town located on the Isle of Bute. There is plenty to do over a few days. We rented e-bikes and checked out the whole island, from Kilchatten Bay to Ettrick Bay and the town of Rothesay itself. The castle is worth a visit, and if you're lucky you can spot HMS Hoods Anchor just north of the town. Food options are somewhat scarce on the island, pub grub and takeaways are the only things available (there is Bute Yard which hosts pop up kitchens - wholly recommend this place, but I think they operate seasonally).

I've been coming to Rothesay since 1977, I have a love that will endure forever with Bute. I suppose only thing they need is a Cinema/theatre. Once the Pavillion is fully renovated will definitely attract more visitors

Truly excellent place to visit especially for history buffs, with midget submarines in WW2, to Scotlands first flight by a blacksmith no less, to all the hidden gems of coastline, views. Mount Steuart would take several days to fully explore but a stunning georgian house. With some wonderful cafe's throughout the island, some even more amazing hostelries to dine at It's a place that you will want to return to time and time again.

There's some lovely walks and beaches on Bute, and if you don’t want to do a hike, the beaches and shores are accessible by good public transport links, or bike hire is available. It is a small island so easy to explore, but check bus times as service ends early in the evening.
There are some good shops in Rothesay and nice cafes, although dining options are limited in the evening. There’s a putting green and crazy gold at the front and you can stroll along the promenades. The castle has re-opened and is worth a visit.

You can access Rothesay & The isle of bute travelling with Caledonian Mcbrayne Ferries, from Wemyss Bay. You can access Wemyss Bay from Glasgow City Centre by a direct bus service - bus 906 operated by McGills. The ferry service between Wemyss and Rothesay runs daily at a hourly service. It's a lovely ferry crossing too, takes around 35min.
Now in Rothesay, there is plenty to do. Rothesay is a charming small town with a small amount of decent shops & eateries. There is also Rothesay Castle, located in the centre of the town which is well worth visiting.
You can access most of the island using the bus company called west coast motors. A 24hr Adult Bus Day Ticket is only £4.50.
When I was on the island I used Bus Service 490, Rhubodach To Ettrick Bay Via Rothesay. Its a very scenic Bus journey indeed.
If you are into your hiking & walking, Ettrick Bay & Rhubodach at the north of the island are fabulous places for a relaxing walk.
Thankyou for reading my review ☺️.
Room was very comfortable and supplied with tea/coffee and biscuits,slippers are also supplied,we had booked the room with the balcony but it is in fact a large private terrace with plenty seats and a table with amazing views,the ferry terminal is 2 minutes walk away as is the town centre,the owners David and Amy are lovely and the freshly cooked breakfast in the morning was delicious using fresh local produce,highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return.
The view of the house and the room stood out. On top of a hill in the heart of the town of Rothesay in a traditional gorgeous big house is a thrill.
The shower was excellent in a bathroom with a variety of marble, the size of your room. In between was a kind of pantry for coffee and tea, with a microwave.
Staff was very friendly and willing to help you out for finding a place to have dinner. Parking on top of the hill next to the house is very useful.
Everything. The location was perfect, right across from the water, and within walking distance to Rothesay. The house itself is roomy and has everything you could want. The grounds are spacious and Carolynn and John encourage you to play on the front lawn with the various garden games they provide in the shed next to the house. They are very kind and provide little touches such as milk and biscuits, shampoo and conditioner and even disposable barbecues.
We stay on Bute often visiting family and have stayed at a number of flats and hotels we found this property one of the best we have stayed in. The bathroom had recently been upgraded including a new shower which was very good. The kitchen was well equipped with a washer, oven & dishwasher (which we never used but did appreciate) The apartment was lovely and warm with views that are breathtaking!

Terrific hotel and hosts, really accommodating. We went with our 2-year old and made to feel very welcome - a very cosy family feel. Also ideal location for exploring and for getting into Rothesay for dinner. Will definitely be going back when next on Bute. Thank you!
Bay view, our room certainly had that-and what a view, Eileen our host was lovely, friendly, helpful and informative. Breakfast was excellent and the hotel is in easy reach of Rothesay,
the hotel is very clean
The location was excellent and the views stunning, If you are arriving by foot from the ferry enter the hotel by the hill road before the hotel and not up the steps in front of the hotel unless you are fit
I liked everything about the hotel. The waterfront view from our room was lovely. The staff were very helpful. The breakfasts were more than adequate in addition to being delicious.
Central location, room was beautiful overlooking the bay, Kristine and her staff were excellent. We would definitely recommend it and stay again if/when we are back in Rothesay.
Great location right in the centre of Rothesay. Comfy and clean room with great views over the gardens and the firth of Clyde. Helpful and friendly staff.
