“Excellent cottage set in outstanding scenery , this was our second visit this year so that says it all really .”

If you want peace and tranquility then this is the place to be at .
Mrs Richardson September 2019

“A beautifully equipped and comfortable cottage.”

The views never fail to impress us whatever the weather. This was our third visit in as many years and we have already booked for 2020. Our piece of heaven. Just a little feedback - more toilet rolls (only 2 for 6 guests all week ) one dish cloth and one bin bag for everything for the whole week) Only a small point! Rather mean when paying quite alot of money.
Mrs Watling June 2019

“Absolutely brilliantly located and well-equipped cottage.”

5 adults + 2 dogs found this to be a most enjoyable holiday. Scalpsie is an excellent location. Lovely and peaceful with full access to the rest of the island and its amenities.
Mr Cowan May 2019

“The location is fantastic .”

The accommodation was excellent . We enjoyed it so much that I have booked it again for November this year .
Mrs Moores April 2019

“This has been our third visit to Spence Cottage.”

It is very comfortable and well equipped , and we always feel at home. It is also very well situated.
Mrs Bryce April 2019

“This is a lovely cottage, clean and comfortable and the location is fantastic.”

A wonderful time had would love to come back!
Mrs Morris March 2019

“Lovely cottage with amazing views.”

The cottage was very clean and had a few essential provisions when we arrived. It has everything needed for a great holiday. Thank you
Ms Fraser March 2019

“Fantastic stay in this beautiful cottage - the pictures don't even do it justice.”

Lovely big open plan living and dining space, well equipped with everything you need. The cottage is easy to find and well located, just a short drive back up to Rothesay and there are great views with some nice walks nearby. It was nice and warm inside, in particular we enjoyed the heated floors in the bathrooms. There is no wifi and little to no phone signal (you may get some if you take a few steps away from the cottage - it has very thick walls!), but we enjoyed the opportunity to disconnect and forget about social media etc. Also note that if you visit Bute between October and the end of March most of the tourist attractions and some restaurants will be closed. We plan on coming back here in the future - no complaints at all and great value for money.
Mr Bowie December 2018

“The radiators in the front lounge were not working so it became quite cold at times.”
Mrs Barr October 2018

“The most wonderful cottage in the most beautiful setting!”

Everything has been thought of and the cottage is immaculate.
Mrs Richardson September 2018

“The peace and tranquillity”
Mrs Hurst August 2018

“It was a beautifully renovated building that was furnished with local fabrics and materials in a wonderful setting.”

What more could you want ? It was perfect and I wish I was still there ...... The only thing that would have been helpful was a list of local numbers like the vet, doctor etc as our dog was stung by a jellyfish which was quite distressing and with a poor signal difficult to google numbers. But that is a very small thing indeed ! We will be back . It was worth the long drive from Bath .
Mrs Livingstone June 2018

“The location of the cottage was fantastic.”

Far enough out of town and very close to the beach.
Miss White June 2018

“Relaxation and comfort in the cottage and the surrounding view was amazing”

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?
