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 ☺️.

Beautiful landscape, amazing locals and the city has everything one might need: food, postal office, drinks, a variety of accommodations, lovely port and the travel from Wemyss Bay with the boat was magical.

It is a beautiful island with scenic views, nice shops, a late night supermarket, cozy pubs, friendly locals and a very pretty waterfront to walk along.
The Diner cafe is a good place to eat and the staff there are lovely.
The location of the hotel is great.
We arrived at night so was looking forward to the view in the morning, and we weren't disappointed.
The bed was comfortable so we had a good night's sleep, with not much traffic passing either.
The shower was also very good, with great pressure and was hot
The furniture was old, but the quality was fine!
The wardrobe had some hangers and a full mirror.
When we had an issue they sorted it straight away, and the guy was nice and friendly.
In general it is a cute place and we had a nice stay
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.
Everything. The place itself, a gorgeous old house with these beautiful large windows on the best view ever. The room was large and super cosy, one of the most comfy bed I've ever slept on. Kristine was super welcoming and the breakfast was an absolute 10/10 - with a view to die for. Honestly blown away, especially for that price ! I travel a lot and stay in many different hotels and B&B but this one is definitely my "coup de cœur" of this year.
The location was good - a 10 minute walk into the centre of Rothesay. Everything was very well organised regarding covid arrangements. Breakfast was very tasty and appeared very promptly. Our room was at the front of the hotel with a lovely view overlooking the bay. Good tea & coffee making facilities available in the bedrooms and also in the dining room during the day.
It's the location that is perfect overlooking the Rothesay Harbour, and the with convenience of having everything on your doorstep, including the Co-op literally beneath you with the facility of having freshly baked croissants from them every morning. It is also a nice modern apartment. Our third stay in three years.
The hotel was ideal for our visit to Rothesay , really central. The room’s were spotless,comfortable and very cosy . we had a great view of Rothesay bay from our rooms . The staff were very friendly and all very helpful . The breakfast was lovely the waitress and the chef went out of there way to accommodate us .
Host Jane was simply lovely. Hotel similar. Breakfast wonderful. If there was one tiny let down the shower was a but like a warmer Scottish coastal drizzle but I am nit picking. Do go there as it seems that Rothesay needs a lot of support as it seems to be fading away.
Extremely friendly couldnt do enough to help. Stayed in 2 rooms everywhere was spotless. Would recomend. Ill be going back after feb. Best to call direct and not through booking.com or else use hotels own website. I was delighted with my stay 5 stars
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.
Beautiful hotel, very pet friendly which was lovely. Super comfy beds. Room was spotless clean, lovely toiletries and well stocked tea tray. Would go back no problem.
Me and the misus absolutely loved the hotel wish we were there for more than one night breakfast was excellent 👌👍 and will definitely be back again for sure
Not all rooms have a sea view, but those that do have a fantastic view over Rothesay bay. Room was clean and tidy. Five minute walk from the ferry terminal.
