Guest Reviews

• Chambers (9/5): It was good. - Perfect breakfast, the best we have ever had. Friendly and helpful owner. Larger bedroom with better en suite.
• James (10/5): Suoerb - Breakfast outstanding Nothing
• Cornelis (10/5): Vriendelijke en persoonlijke ontvangst - De vriendelijke ontvangst door Amy was de perfecte start van ons verblijf op Bute. Ook ieder ontbijt werd persoonlijk samengesteld en wij hebben haar opgewekte verhalen en tips zeer gewaardeerd. Niets
• Calum (8/5): - The breakfast was lovely Nothing
• William (8/5): Loved it. - Break fast excellent, staff lovely…view from the room..out of this world. Nothing
• Anne (3/5): - Breakfast Room very tired
• Glen (10/5): Great location, friendly owners - The hotel is just along from the ferry terminal and is easy to find! The owner was friendly and the bar in the property was friendly and good value. The breakfast included was ideal and served to order.
• Lila (10/5): -
• james (9/5): -
• Marion (4/5): Unfortunately will not be staying again. - Good , sea front location Musty smell throughout, needs a deep clean and black mold dealt with particularly in shower and dining room patio doors. Should also be different prices for room sizes as ours was cramped despite two other couples in our party paying the same price for the weekend. Host was , however,pleasant and welcoming.
• Alex (8/5): Brilliant hotel with lovely owners - A little family run hotel a short walk from Rothesay, the Hosts were brilliant and couldn’t do enough for us during our stay. The shower water pressure.
• Marion (8/5): -
• John (4/5): - Location The hotel was old fashioned. Bed uncomfortable. Pillow to soft. Shower didn't work properly.
• Helmut (10/5): Alles, was man braucht - Sehr gute Lage
• James (10/5): Superb will be back - Breakfast outstanding Nothing at all
• John (5/5): -
• Brigitte (8/5): Very pleasant stay - Ideally located, short distance from the town centre. Cozy hotel. Amy and Dave are lovely, and we fell at home straight away. Very generous breakfast and attention to our needs. Amy surprised us with a bottle of bubbly when we told her we came to celebrate our wedding anniversary. How kind of her! We also enjoyed a few drinks, with Dave at the bar. Great selection of drinks and cheaper than in a pub! We will come back and next time we’ll make sure we stay in the big suite with terrace! Thank you for a very pleasant stay 😊 The lack of pressure in the shower was a negative surprise. I had to buy dry shampoo as it would have been impossible to rinse my hair.
• bill (10/5): - Absolutely wonderful place. Amy and Dave were the best of host's you could ever meet. The room was fine but the bed was top notch ( I have spinal injuries) and was the best sleep. Will most definitely be back! All good!
• Colin (10/5): Nice hotel lovely staff and a good location. - The breakfast was nice and hot and tasty and the service was very good the lady who served us was very good and gave us some home made cake to take away, very good. Nothing I was happy with the place and so was my friend.

• Suze (10/5): - David & Amy were very welcoming and our room was really lovely, with a huge balcony looking over to the sea (deluxe room). We loved it. Breakfast was tasty and Amy was very helpful with suggestions of things to do. There is a small bar on the property, manned by David, which was great. And we left with some of Amy's homemade banana cake!

• Ann (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amanda (9/5): Superb - The owners were amazing and wonderful breakfast, nothing was too trouble and full of useful information of what to do and where to go. We got very spoilt upon leaving when Amy our host presented us with a beautiful box of her homemade famous cake to take home. Thank you x We loved our stay and other guests we regulars over and over ways a good sign. The front terrace facing the sunset is the perfect place for an evening drink.
• Bowley (10/5): Great stay - Staff very friendly and welcoming. Lovely selection of breakfasts. Clean and comfortable rooms. Short walk into the town and close to the bus stops.
• Small (8/5): Very good -
• Neerunjun (8/5): Very good -
• Charles (6/5): Pleasant -
• Watson (10/5): perfect place to stay , and couldn't ask for better place to stay. - Breakfast was amazing , rooms were spotless and hosts were perfect. 3rd year in a row weve stayed and booked for next year. nothing
• Richard2112 (7/5): Great location - Great location, friendly helpful hosts, comfy bed, cooked breakfast and surprise baked treats to take away from the host. Also nice to mix with locals and other guests in the bar in the evening. The property needs a bit of investment, looks tired and a bit basic and some parts need a good clean. Also quite a lot of clutter in common areas. Rothsay as a whole looks like it may be struggling a little, so times may be hard as well as seasonal. Although these comments might seem harsh, we enjoyed our stay and wish you well.
• Shelley (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (10/5): Will be back - Breakfast oustanding Shower
• Moira (10/5): Relaxing - Amy was delightful. Warm friendly and helpful. She made us a lovely breakfast every morning and made us feel very much at home. We had a beautiful view of the Bay.
• Caroline (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ellis (9/5): A very nice stay with great hosts. -
• Aidan (10/5): Lovely hotel with amazing hosts and a breathtaking view onto the water - Dave and Amy were both incredibly warm and welcoming during our (my gf and I) visit. When we arrived at the hotel, we met Dave in the Dining area/Bar and he was very polite in greeting us before showing us to our room. The room was very clean, the bed was soft (which isnt the case in a lot of hotels, but definitely was here) and the view out onto the water was breathtaking; even moreso because the sun was out for our entire time there. The first morning of our stay we got to meet Amy, who welcomed us to the dining area; and she was very cheerful and greeted us with a smile. We didnt have time for cooked breakfast the first day as we were doing a parkrun, but when we mentioned this to Amy she gifted us a bag filled with treats that she had baked (as she owns a bakery on the island) to give us energy on our run; which was heartwarming and very kind...and Amy, if youre reading this, we both thought the snacks were delicious. We did have time for a full breakfast the second day of our trip, which was cooked beatifully by Amy. Honestly, it was a lovely place to stay with two incredible hosts; thank you to both Dave and Amy for being so nice and welcoming to us to your home.
• Teodora (10/5): Lovely place to stay in Bute - The place was very clean and nice. Great hot breakfast included, cooked for us with a delicious irish touch (soda bread!). Owners were very friendly, helpful and recommended lots to do on the island. They even checked ferry times for us and really went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend!

Great - Great Location........... clean and tidy room .................. comfy beds ................. Great Staff ................... Cozy , Friendly Bar ..........

• Emma (8/5): Really friendly and comfortable. - Really friendly hospitable staff and a great location. Fabulous breakfast that took account of my dietary needs (veggie, no egg.) The WiFi didn't work in my room but it wasn't a major issue that I asked about as Bute is so lovely that I was out walking all day and collapsed in bed every evening!
• Lauren (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alan (8/5): Very good -
• Joshua (9/5): Superb - We felt well looked after at Summer's Bay and had a comfortable stay. Breakfast was lovely and the hosts were lovely. The location is perfect, only a short walk to the town centre and right at the water's edge with lovely views of the boat coming and going. Would definitely stay again. Shower pressure was a bit low and took a long time to heat up but still perfectly adequate for washing.
