Chandlers Hotel

Back at work less than six weeks and already harbouring terrible thoughts about your line manager?

Give yourself some breathing space with today’s Big Deal on a relaxing break at Chandlers Hotel on the Isle of Bute.

With a brilliant location on Ascog Bay, it’s a very popular spot among those looking to get away from it all and simply relax.

The house is a twenty minute walk from the main seaside town of Rothesay, which is populated with cafés, restaurants, public houses and an engaging array of independent shops.

Convenient

One of the easiest Scottish islands to access, Bute has two ferry links to the mainland and excellent train links.

It is easy to travel to and from the Central Belt but feels gloriously remote from the frantic pace of life in the city.

Relaxing mini break

Available Monday to Saturday, today’s offer is for two people to relax with a one or two consecutive night stay in a classic double or twin room in the welcoming Chandlers Hotel.

Both options include a continental breakfast for each guest.

Unsurpassed views

Well known for the warmth of its welcome, Chandlers is a spacious, detached property with unsurpassed views over the Clyde to the Ayrshire coast and beyond.

Each of the nine gorgeous and independently decorated bedrooms have well appointed en-suite bathrooms stocked with a selection of quality toiletries, cotton wool, tissues, shaving mirror and good selection of soft towels.

The house itself has a cosy snug area with comfy sofas and a bar.

A grand piano is the focus of the music lounge, accompanied by several guitars, amps, music stands and more comfy seating. The living room has ample seating, a flat screen TV, a selection of games, a small library and sound bar for iPods.

Fresh & local

Guests are welcome to dine in the hotel’s elegant restaurant. Fresh local produce is to the fore on the regularly changing menus.

Please note, the restaurant is shut on Mondays and Thursdays.

See & do on Bute

From rounds of golf to gentle cycling trips on almost deserted roads, the Isle of Bute offers plenty of fun activities. Horse riding is a popular past time on the island as are water sports, diving and, of course, making the most of the isle’s many coastal walks. The West Island Way Walk starts in a wee village close by and is just one of the breathtaking walks available on the island. 

A popular destination for fishing, the inland lochs are popular with anglers for coarse and game fishing. Loch Fad offers anglers an opportunity to fish for rainbow trout and is only three miles from the house. Anyone with an interest in sea angling will be spoilt for choice. 

Happy guests

Chandlers Hotel has attracted plenty of glowing reviews from guests on TripAdvisor. These are excerpts from two longer reviews:

‘Amazing… blown away at how amazing this hotel was. Family run (family are lovely). Rooms are great… Choice for breakfast was great… Bute is a quiet island….there are other restaurants in the bay (which we tried too) but I have to say the hotel dinner was far better… We would stay at Chandlers again if we came back.’

‘Return visit to a beautiful location… lovely views over the water… The room was well appointed… enjoyed good food in a very charming dining room. The owners of the hotel were very helpful with numerous suggestions for things to do and places to visit round the island. A hidden gem and a favourite of ours.’
