About Highlander House

Highlander House occupies a handsome townhouse in Rothesay and has built a reputation well beyond the size of the island, having been named among the top guest houses and inns in the UK by Tripadvisor. Its five individually styled rooms take their names from Scottish landmarks and combine period features with a thoroughly modern finish.

Breakfast is a genuine highlight, built around Scottish produce and served in a bright dining room, and the small scale of the place means a personal welcome rather than a standard hotel check-in. A minimum stay applies during peak weeks, reflecting steady demand from returning guests.

Its central Rothesay position puts the ferry terminal, castle and seafront restaurants all within a short walk, making a car unnecessary for guests exploring the town itself.
