Cadillac Kustomz Guest House

My Husband and I along with some friends has a fabulous stay over the weekend of Butefest. Our room No54 was awesome and not a spec of dust anywhere!! Everywhere was so clean! We never had breakfast but it looked and smelled good!! The bar was closed when we stayed but we were told we were welcome to use the space in the evening when we returned from the festival. All in all we had a great stay and would definitely go back again.

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.

Beyond quirky Unique hotel experience!! Who would have thought to bring a brilliant take on Americana culture to The Isle of Bute!! Very imaginatively curated, beyond quirky. Clean and comfortable room. Unfortunately they seemed very short staffed during our stay. They could perhaps do with importing a bit of the American service ethos to improve the customer experience. Have a nice day y’all!

A must stay. Great stay. Room was clean and bed very comfortable. Loved the decor. Breakfast was great, pancakes with fry up a must. Dinner was diner food to go with the ambience. Owner and his son were great and nothing was too much trouble. Everybody that drives past stops to look at the cars including the sightseeing tour bus.

Great and unique experience staying here. Host make all guests feel welcome and it's a must if you want an genuine taste of Americana.

Avoid and go elsewhere Horrible experience, inebriated owner continues with excessively loud karaoke into the night. Rooms have no soundproofing, so if you want to sleep before midnight, forget it. After asking around he is notorious on the island. After requesting the volume turned down being ignored, we had to leave and found a quiet hotel. He was not fussed at all on our departure, indicating his preference to drink and sing like a strangled cat into the early hours. No refund or further contact, complete bell.
