We enjoyed the beautiful views over the castle and the fact that it was so well situated right in the heart of the town, surrounded in good cafes and shops, very handy!

    A typical seaside town that is struggling but the shops that are open were really good and the staff friendly and helpful. Rothesay and Bute is very clean with little road issues and many places to park (free :-)) to enjoy the wonderful countryside. Whilst Rothesay is the main town it is well worth taking the bus tour as Ian is very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about the island and its history. The food places (especially the Kettledrum) are good with reasonably priced food. There is also a sandwich bar in the town which makes sandwiches to order using bread baked on the premises.

    I recently visited Rothesay on the Isle of Bute and had a pleasant stay. The journey from Glasgow was seamless, with convenient train and ferry connections. Rothesay is wonderfully quiet, offering excellent views of the bay that make for a peaceful retreat. While there aren't any beaches, the scenery is beautiful. One downside was that many restaurants were closed during my visit, and there weren't many tourists around. Overall, Rothesay is a tranquil destination perfect for those seeking a serene escape with stunning bay views.

    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).

    Rothesay is simply somewhere to chill for few days, yes it's quiet, but if you're of a certain age, this is perfect. Plenty nice pubs/restaurants to try. Isle of Bute has so many hidden treasures. I recommend the Tour bus, nice walks to Lighthouse, Ardbeg, where there is an amazing American diner, Kerrycroy and Ascog are lovely villages to visit too. U can also now take a speedboat ride

    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

    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!

    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?

    Karen and David were very friendly. Best thing was the view. So many good books and a piano. The coach house was very spacious, and island life was great too. Only a population of 7,500. I liked the small museum in Rothesay and my wife liked the factory shop at Bute fabrics. As the previous couple left, the husband whispered to me, 'You're entering the danger zone. Hide your credit card.' He was right.

    The Victoria Hotel on the Isle of Bute offers a prime location with its breathtaking marina and ocean views, especially from the lounge dining area where you can truly appreciate the beauty of the surroundings. Our room was on the 2nd floor; do note that the hotel does not have a lift, which wasn't a problem for us but might be worth considering for those with mobility issues.

    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.
