My sister recently had her wedding here and the day was just perfect. The hotel and restaurant are gorgeous and the staff are second to none - nothing is too much for them to do for you.

Our stay was excellent. This was the venue for our daughter’s wedding. Throughout the day the staff were attentive, polite and couldn’t have been more helpful, whilst remaining unobtrusive among the wedding guests. The food was outstanding and unusually, cooked to order. Our room was comfortable with room to relax during the day. Chris, the manager was constantly checking nothing was needed and he and his staff ensured the day went without a hitch, including preparing the room for the wedding. If you want an intimate and elegant venue for your celebration, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Lord Bute. More...

Nice staff, shame we were all jam packed onto a table with no space at all due to their booking error. Food made up for it.

First visit to this hotel so was pleased the WI chose it for their Xmas meal. No need to pre-select menu items (a real bonus). Tables in the conservatory end of the restaurant. Very pleasant environment, good level of service and excellent food. Would definitely choose to dine here again. More...

Over the last 5 years we have been to different places for our team Xmas party. None have ever stuck in our mind.... yet the Lord Bute will. The setting was beautiful and tasteful, the food was absolutely amazing (and we do have fussy ones), the service was excellent, the team could not of done anymore for us. Everything the atmosphere, service, food, drinks and disco was better than exceptional. Highly recommend to anyone. Perfect setting, perfect evening. Thank you team Lord Bute from the team at Shorefields. Thank you for having us. Kind regards and see you next year. Kellie x More...

We had a really special wedding at this fabulous hotel. Chris, the wedding organiser, and his hard working team helped us to make everything perfect. The venue looked beautiful with all the mirrors and twinkling lights and all our guests commented on the superb food. A particular feature is having 4 choices for each course on the day- something our guests really appreciated! The buffet later on was also delicious and made our evening guests feel special. We had a mixture of ages and felt there was somewhere for everyone, whether they wanted to sit quietly and catch up or to dance the evening away.||Several of our guests commented how good the accommodation was and our room was very comfortable and a great place to get ready.||Thanks again to the Lord Bute team!

I had a small family gathering to celebrate my “big birthday”. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant to the moment we left the whole evening was “faultless”. I cannot speak highly enough of the service the food and the entire ambiance of the place. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. Many many thanks for making my birthday so memorable.

Easy to find and easy to park. A very warm friendly welcome upon arrival. Our room was spacious, located at the back at the hotel (therefore quiet), and had all the essentials including a large fan - it was quite a warm day! The bed large and very comfortable.||The bathroom was light and adequate. ||I guess both the room and the bathroom would really benefit from an update - if so walk in showers please.||Breakfast was also very good and well presented although service seemed somewhat haphazard.||Overall a lovely relaxing stay.

We stayed at the Lord Bute hotel with our dog. She’s a cockapoo so medium sized dog. |We were given the Coach House. It was really very nice. Small kitchen area and fridge. We took everything our fur baby needed which was fine. We were allowed to eat at the front of the restaurant which was a separate area away from the other guests. We were fine with that.|Breakfast and dinner choices off the menu. No complaints at all!|Local park and beach was great.|We found Chris and his staff to be very friendly and helpful during our visit.| More...

What a fantastic night we had at Lord Bute celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Nothing was too much trouble. On arrival our twelve year old Granddaughter was greeted and given food choices suitable for her - not on the menu. Chris was delightful and made the evening with his friendly manner. The staff were attentive and had a good sense of humour which made it a very happy evening. Food excellent as usual- I can’t recommend it more highly. More...
