    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.

    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 😊

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Really friendly hospitable staff and a great location. Fabulous breakfast that took account of my dietary needs (veggie, no egg.)
