Cadillac Kustomz Guest House

Thematic Decor: The hotel features a unique American/Rockabilly theme with vintage memorabilia, 1950s-style furnishings, and rock-and-roll-inspired decor in rooms, the diner, and bar.

Unusual but great. Amazing decor, wackiest we've ever seen in a hotel. The Cadillac theme runs throughout the hotel, a lot of thought has gone into the presentation.

This is the first time my husband and I have visited Bute, so we have no experience of any other hotels on the island. We booked for four nights at the Cadillac Kustomz, as I remembered seeing it on TV a few years ago, and it looked good. It's a little way out of Rothesay, so we were pleased to see that the website stated that they have a diner. When we arrived, late afternoon, I asked about dinner and was told that the dining room and bar were closed, as it was low season. A pity that wasn't stated on the website. However, we were informed that there were plenty of local restaurants in Rothesay. We really didn't want to go out again, having been travelling all day, but did not have a choice. We got online and had a look at restaurants serving dinner, but bearing in mind that this was a Monday evening, there were very few open. We spent some time ringing around, but either got no response to our calls, or not favourable responses. One of the main hotels, which said it did serve dinner, contradicted that when my husband spoke to them and they told him that they wouldn't be opening their dining room just for two people. In the end, we drove to the local Co-op, bought some snack food and ate that in our bedroom. Not a great start to our few days on Bute. The same happened on Tuesday evening, but on the remaining two nights, when a few more restaurants were open, we ate at Ambience, in Rothesay, which was quite basic, but really welcoming, with good food and very pleasant service. I must say that our bedroom at the Cadillac Kustomz was very nice, with a large bed and a beautiful view out to sea. The room was warm and immaculately clean, as was the bathroom and was serviced daily. Dressing gowns were supplied, as were plenty of clean towels. The price for Bed and Breakfast was very reasonable. Breakfast at the hotel was ok. We rarely saw the owners, apart from checking in. No one was around when we checked out. The gentleman who served breakfast always seemed in a hurry, but I am sure if we had any problems, someone would have been around to put them right.
