Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Unfortunately, it is closed during the winter, but we were able to walk in the gardens. There were a few visitors who were walking there. Nobody chased us away. The garden is big and nice with a lot of paths to walk. We will be back there but in spring or summer.

    If you are a fan of sanitary wear, victoriana, tiles or just sneaking into mens toilets, then this is possibly the best example of a public convenience of its like in Scotland. Grab a passing stranger or better still a male in your party (in our case) to check the coast is clear and enjoy!

    This is where the main ferry arrives and the only town on Bute. It has lots of nice cafes and shops and a harbour. Nothing amazing but nothing bad either. A good starting place to explore the island.

    Visited on a weekday around noon with my wife. As there was a choice of 7 gins and 1 rum, we decided to purchase a flight each (4 samples per flight) so we could try them all. Wonderful service from the lady at the bar, and interesting flavors incorporated into the gins. We really enjoyed our visit and would happily return to sample the cocktail menu.

    The only recommendation I would have for the distillery is to provide snacks/food options. I'm amazed that the only thing they sell is crisps?! We would have stayed longer and drank more had there been options for food.

    For such a small shop, the vast variety of books in stock is amazing. Visited several times over the week. We were able to order a book which arrived a few days later. Also they arranged for a book to be sent direct to my home from the author as the book I was looking for wasn’t in stock.
    Excellent service, always on hand to help in every way they could.

    Quite delightful, where else on the island are you likely to see an Air Ministry wave meter rubbing shoulders with a Fairburn-Sykes commando knife? Do pop in and support them.

    A great wee cinema. Within the visitors centre. It's well worth a visit. With lots of information about the beautiful isle of Bute.

    Fantastic wee snug of a bar with outdoor seating (weather permitting).
    Staff are very friendly with the many regulars and visitors. Wendy, the manager, runs a great wee place. Well worth a visit. My father's weekend pub. A pub with a community. Rare these days.

    Visited this bar whilst in Rothesay for 2 nights. Short walk from the town centre. Had been a few years ago then it closed. The owners have made a great job of the rebuild. Great pint of Belhaven. The 1st night was very quiet but bar staff was very friendly football was on the tv but not very loud. The 2nd night there were 3 people in who used to live in Bury. A really enjoyable night with a lot of laughs. If you are visiting Rothesay or are a local I would recommend this small bar. Looking forward to my next visit to Bute and will certainly make another visit.
