Set in an outstanding position above its own terraced gardens, the Glenburn enjoys a superb panorama across the waters of Rothesay Bay to the Cowal Peninsula. The town's shops, harbour, medieval castle ruins and sporting facilities are just a pleasant walk away along the palm fringed promenade.

With a wealth of outdoor pursuits on the isle, from fishing to bowling and from golf to walking, it's up to you how you choose to relax at the Glenburn... socialise in the bar, escape to the quiet lounge, indulge in a game of snooker or just enjoy the evening entertainment.

What a Lovely Place
The Glenburn is a Shearings Hotel and caters mostly for their clients. My room was 109 with a full sea view, this was stunning and spotlessly clean with piping hot water. The room was cleaned every day. We also had room 242 which has a large bathroom and side sea view, also spotlessly clean. With 3 coaches in, the service in the dining room was first class. Many thanks Christof and all the kitchen and waiting staff. The food was great and everyone was friendly. Our coach driver Alan was also great, very knowledgeable about the Island of Bute and all the countless other places we visited. I can only recommend our holiday and look forward to our next Shearings holiday.

Glenburn Hotel
My wife and I travelled to the Glenburn hotel with Shearings, the journey was made more pleasant by the information given out by the driver, Alan, a resident of Bute. The hotel was very clean , and the meals were well presented ,the service by the waitress Moneque was excellent . we were in room 114 which was fine apart from it needed the attention from a paint brush , and new bathroom curtains, but was kept clean everyday by the staff, the only fault we found was the reception, a bit slow

Recently returned from a great 5 day break travelling with Shearings to the Isle of Bute firstly, full marks to our driver Alan who was very informative and knowledgeable. The Glenburn is a beautiful, spacious and very clean hotel, the staff were helpful and polite and our waiter at meal time was also very accommodating, there was a good choice of menu something for everybody, food was well prepared and presented. The newly refurbished ballroom was opened for the first time during our stay WHOW!!!

Great Holiday good value for money
Really enjoyable holiday, the hotel is by the sea in a beautiful setting. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need. The food was good and served quickly we did not have a long wait for any of the courses. The new ballroom is well laid out, I suppose it would have been better if it catered for more people who wanted to watch the shows. The bar staff were quick and efficient, only a wait at the opening of free drinks time and at 10.20 ish, but only because of last free drink time. Fabulous.

Excellent value and experience
We stayed at the Glenburn Hotel last week on the HB inclusive package and were very impressed. The staff did an excellent job of looking after large numbers of guests at once. The staff were always helpful and willing which helped make our stay very pleasant, nothing was too much trouble, Our room 108 was clean and tidy. The meals were very good and there was a reasonable choice. I would certainly consider doing something like it again, a good stay thank you.

Glenburn Hotel
We have just returned from our second self drive holiday to the Glenburn Hotel and wish to say what a transformation in the newly refurbished ballroom. It is very well laid out and the entertainment on both nights was excellent. The staff were efficient and friendly and the food was very good. The hotel is in a great location and Bute is a lovely island. I travelled with my partner and two friends. We will be back. Called in at the Tarbet Hotel on the way home and had an excellent lunch.
