    “Breakfast, including the tea and coffee, was excellent. The rooms was spotless and the bed very comfortable. The owner was extremely accommodating and obliging, nothing was too much bother and their wee dog Alfie was a delight.”

    “The Ardyne is exceptional value. The room was pleasant with a sea view which I had not expected as it was a single room. The breakfast was very good. I was comfortably able to walk to shops/restaurants. Would recommend if visiting Bute.”

Company information

We spend our time, when not looking after guests, walking our dogs, running or occasionally swimming and exploring the island. Bute may be small but it has plenty to offer. We have great plans over the next few years for the Ardyne both inside and out. It will be updated and improved tastefully whilst maintaining its Victorian roots.

Property information

The Ardyne is situated in a prominent position on the seafront in Rothesay on the beautiful Isle of Bute. Five minutes by car from the main ferry, or a leisurely stroll for those leaving their cars at home. Our comfortable guest house is an elegant listed Victorian Villa designed by John Orkney in 1875 and its importance is recognised by Historic Scotland.Its setting within well tended gardens creates an ideal ambiance for a relaxing break and its spectacular views across Rothesay Bay to the Cowal Hills and the Kyles of Bute are unsurpassed. Our selection of accommodation suits those coming to play golf, go fishing, walking or attending a wedding or business meeting. All are well catered for at The Ardyne. We have 10 en-suite bedrooms all comfortably furnished and well appointed. There is a comfortable seating area overlooking the bay where you can relax, enjoy a drink, read the papers or perhaps catch up on some work, as WiFi is available, free of charge. Our dining room also enjoys magnificent sea views and our full choice breakfasts, really set you up for the day.

Neighbourhood information

We are located right on the seafront 3/4 of a mile from the town centre in a quiet residential road. The island is only 15 miles long by 5 miles wide at its widest point and all attractions are therefore close at hand.
