It was a great experience and the hotel was very good but it is in need of some work But it did have a certain charm that is not so much available in modern times. A great shame but I do not think that it will last long which would be a great loss
Entire Apartment, Rothesay, Isle of Bute is set in Rothesay. The property has sea views.

The living room has a stunning view and the flat is absolutely silent.
It is very tidy and well-kept (especially compared to some other flats we've rented in the UK in the same price category).
I 100% recommend it and would be keen to stay there again ourselves
Located in Rothesay, the historic Our Wee Getaway provides accommodation with free WiFi. The property has sea and quiet street views. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service.

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
The location was fab, so central for everything. Apartment was spotless and very spacious with windows you could open for lovely Rothesay air. Appliances seemed like brand new and were very easy to work! Bathroom and kitchen were exceptional and finished to a very high standard. I left my hat in the apartment and contacted owner to ask if it had been found and it was sent to me a couple of days later. Such a kind thing to do and I was so grateful. Exceptional service and accommodation!
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! location within walking distance of the town and easy access to the countryside and costal paths, the views from the property overlooking the harbour/town, the property is beautifully maintained and provides you with a warm family welcome, the rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and provide great facilities. The property is the home of a wonderful family who make you feel special and welcomed to the Isle of Bute.
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.
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 .
The owner at Cadillac Customz is a person you HAVE to meet when visiting Rothesay, and the hotel is an unmissable spot. We had filming crew staying at the hotel, whilst we were shooting on the island and they had the best time chatting to the owner and snoozing at this unique spot.
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.
Really nice hotel. We had dinner in the lounge/bar area and food was great. The outside area of the lounge area had great views over looking Rothesay Bay/Firth of Clyde. Rooms were nice and beds were comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful as well.
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.
The staff were by far the best part but we also loved the charming aesthetic, great food from the restaurant, amazing sea views, and location close to downtown Rothesay!
Great location only a few minutes walk to ferry terminal and town centre of Rothesay. Nice view looking out over the sea and apartment was clean and tidy.
