Great owners! They are part of the town. Comfortable room,catering for disabilty. Excellent breakfasts.Seaview! Sat outside at midnight after the very excellent RothesayJazz Festival, and looked at the stars over Rothesay Bay. B&B to be highly recommended for singles, couples and families. Situation ideal.

Choosing accommodation on Bute wasn’t that hard really. We don’t do the chintzy thing, opting instead for contemporary comfort, so finding the Boat House was an immediate YES! Having emailed ahead and discussed that we were travelling with our young baby we were offered the family suite. We’re very glad that we chose to stay here. Sara was an absolute... More

I was lucky enough to stay in the suite at the top. The slanty ceilings and views are fantastic. The bed is possibly the comfiest I've ever slept in and the spa bath is a lovely extra. Boat House easily trumps any hotel chain by a mile. The Boat House special breakfast was delicious and Sarah is very funny and... More

Paul welcomed us to our choice of the top two rooms, and both were beautiful, so we decided on the front. A brilliant choice. The view is second to none, with beautiful views over the harbour and seafront. The whole place was clean, warm and comfortable. Breakfast was hot, fresh and well presented. Both Paul and Sara were brilliant hosts... More

This was the first time I had ever been to Rothesay and I have to say I was given a very warm welcome, so friendly and extremely helpful. The room was imaculate and very spacious and the view was beautiful, sitting in the bay window watching the ferry coming and going was very relaxing. The on-suite was gleaming! A large... More

I travel at least once a year to Bute as I have family on the island. For the last five years I have stayed with my children at The Boat House. Great hosts, modern rooms and decor, all spotlessly clean with great views from the sea view rooms. I normally choose the top floor "family suite" which is perfect for... More

Having driven up from England through the remaining snow and reached the ferry at Wemyss Bay for Rothesay I thought anywhere would be a good bed for a night, but opposite the landing was The Boat House and the wonderful Sara welcoming us to a fantastic ground floor room - my companion is not good on stairs - really roomy...

Excellent 2 night stay at this friendly and immaculate B&B, We had fantastic views across the water and over Rothesay. Room was large and clean, with a lovely large bed, shower room was sparkling. Hosts were kind and helpful. Breakfast was freshly cooked and tasted great. The wife and i would recommend this B&B to anyone.

10/10. I only stayed the one night but will definitely stay here again. The room was spotless. The bed was very comfortable. The amenities first class. Free WiFi. Breakfast was very tasty. Sara was very helpful and friendly as was the lady assisting at breakfast. Views from the room were stunning. Even in the snow.
