    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.

    A beautiful peaceful quiet island with so many scenic bays with the most amazing views . Lots of little cafes with reasonably priced food and pleasant staff . Very good bus service with friendly helpful drivers. Mount Stuart is one of the finest pieces of gothic architecture anywhere and the gardens are a joy to behold not too mention the magnificent castle

    I was born on Bute, my trip was to visit relatives & show my husband more of my birthplace. Bute is truly 'Bute'iful, the scenery is stunning, locals are really friendly & we weren't disappointed by the little cafes we visited, fish n chips from the Kettledrum, some of the best we've had. Shame the Castle wasn't open, but everything else was as I remembered it, lovely to see the fountain working.

    Located on the waterfront of the beautiful isle of Bute, this place isn't much to look at from the outside, but it's a real treat once you're inside. Lovingly and amazingly themed in 1960s USA, it is full of fun and interesting memorabilia. But the hotel is great for so much more - thoughtfully appointed rooms and a very comfortable bed, a diner with genuinely tasty burgers, kindly and friendly staff. Great value for money. See if you can get a room at the front.

    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.

    Breakfast was cooked to order, with a good choice. My wife likes fresh fruit each morning and this was available. Our room was spacious; the bed was very comfortable; en-suite facilities were excellent. Tea & Coffee supplied in the room for us to use when we wished was most welcome. The hotel is beautifully situated on the waterfront with only a 5-minute walk into Rothesay along a nice palm-tree-lined promenade - what is there not to like about that?

    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!

    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 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.
