Best food for you and family
Beautiful surroundings, great food and ambience.
We just visited for a meal so cannot comment on the rooms. A lovely location with a traditional pub feel inside. Friendly staff and the food is good and wholesome.

Great place, very welcoming, good choice of beer (2 different cask ales on draught), food well made, delicious (check the daily specials board), generous but not ridiculous portions, very nice desserts. Staff really accommodating, professional and a good laugh

Friendly and efficient service. Gorgeous location. Great food and overall excellent experience. We’ll go back next time we’re in Bute. Hopefully VERY soon.
