“Modern, spacious well equipped cottage.”

Lots of space for our toddler son to run around. Short walk down to Scalpsie bay, great place for dog to run around and play on the beach. 5 mins drive to Rothesay. Half hour drive up to Colintraive, take the ferry across to the Colintraive hotel for fab food. Very welcoming. Also ate in Bonnie Clyde in Rothesay, again very welcoming and the langoustines and scallops were brilliant!

“A wonderful week of walks with amazing weather and views across to Arran from the cottage.”

Our fourth year of visiting. Sadly our family were unable to join us with the new Covid restrictions.

“We couldn’t have wished for better!”

! The cottage was stunning and although rural, it was not far from the nearest town. We ordered a bag of vegetables and fruit from the estate which were delicious. It was a five minute walk to the beach and we watched seals basking there in the sun. There were plenty of walks from the cottage for our dog and the enclosed garden was perfect. There was one spot in the garden that had 3G so contact with the outside world was limited but not a bad thing!! We would definitely recommend this cottage.

“Beautiful location, Scalpsie bay we overlooked was stunningly.”

The cottage was immaculate and it was reassuring that it had clearly had measure put in place re the Covid situation. We had one slight issue when the boiler stopped working however the caretaker sorted it within a few hours once I had contacted her. The island is stunning with amazing beaches and shorelines. We cycled walked and enjoyed a range of wildlife. The down side for teens was lack of WiFi however for adults it was bliss.

“A beautiful cottage.”

Peaceful setting overlooking the bay. The management were beyond helpful when we forgot my son's favourite teddy and they washed and posted it back. Will definitely return. Loved it!

About the location

ROTHESAY, ISLE OF BUTE

Port Bannatyne 2.2 miles; Kilchattan Bay 7 miles

Although its castle dates from the 13th Century, the seaside town of Rothesay became very popular as a tourist destination in the Victorian era when many Glaswegians would go ‘doon the watter’ (down the River Clyde) and across on the ferry to Bute. Today there is much to do and see on this beautiful island which is very accessible by ferry crossing, either the 35 minute trip from Wemyss Bay or else the shorter 5 minute crossing to the north of the island from Colintraive. Visit the castle ruins in the centre of town, enjoy the stunning scenery with coastal walks or on one of the cycle routes around the island and visit historic Mount Stuart House as well as its superb gardens. Why not try one of the island’s three golf courses or chill out at Scalpsie Bay and watch the seals, with stunning views across to Arran?
