The Glenburn Hotel, hotel in Rothesay

Situated above its own terraced gardens, The Glenburn Hotel is a Victorian sandstone building which offers panoramic views across Rothesay Bay to the Cowal Peninsula.

The building itself. This photo drew me there. I love history. One thing I would note, the hotel didn’t have much history information around the place. Would be nice to have that.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Warm panelled, stately, classy hotel that must be the best on the island. Situated above the surrounding properties for a commanding view of the sea from all east facing rooms. Lovely bar/lounge area full of chesterfield sofas and chairs well spaced out in a warm and inviting space. If you stay here you MUST visit Mount Stuart! https://www.mountstuart.com/ its about the best stately home I've ever seen (including several palaces).

    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.
