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

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

Everything has been thought of and the cottage is immaculate.

“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 .

“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”
Mr Camier May 2018

“Fantastic holiday base for the Isle of Bute, exceptional cottage that is equipped to a very high standard, comfortable and contemporary furnishings, a house to dream of!”

The staff at Mount Stuart were very helpful. Peaceful and relaxing, just a short walk from Scalpsie Bay beach which has stunning views over to Arran. Plenty of wildlife to see including seals at Scalpsie, hare and deer. Thoroughly recommended.

Mr Simpson July 2017

“Thoroughly enjoyed our few days at cottage, and seeing round Mount Stewart itself.”

Only tiny quibble would be cooker hob quite difficult to operate, even with instructions! A small point though. Thank you. Duncan Simpson

Mr Johnston April 2017

“Beautifully modernised cottage in a wonderful location.”

Well laid out and spacious. Needs a coffee maker and WiFi to get me to return. A king size bed would be great as well.

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?
